GOING YURCHENKO:  Given that every reality tv competition involving C-level celebrities learning a new physical skill has been a flop other than ballroom dancing (including diving, figure skating, military training, circus acts), why should we believe there's an audience for celebrity gymnastics?

Bring back Battle of the Network Stars already, and let Ty Burrell, Alyson Hannigan, Amy Poehler, and Andy Samberg captain for their respective networks. Much better.

  1. I absolutely would watch Battle of the Network Stars captained by those actors. How about Peter Dinklage for HBO and Jon Hamm for AMC?

    Done and done. And Tim Olyphant for FX.

    Susie Essman for HBO, and Aaron Paul for AMC (grandfather him in if necessary). NFL Redzone's Scott Hanson hosts.

    Tatiana Maslany for BBC America. Stephen Arnell for CW.

  5. Scott Porter would be much more entertaining as a CW captain. USA's captain would be Matt Bomer, right? And Showtime, Lizzy Caplan?

    This is where your Hart of Dixie watching comes into play as I didn't even know Porter was on the CW.


    Come to think of it, I'd rather have Terry Crews over Samberg for Fox.

  8. The correct joke is that Tatiana Maslany plays every member of the BBC America team, right?

  9. And of course if Aaron Paul is grandfathered in, so is Huell. I present your tug-of war anchor. They could even just set him up on a couch out there. He's not moving.
