FOX considering doing "Celebrity Dodgeball" show

Heard on the radio today that FOX is considering doing a "Celebrity Dodgeball" show ala "Celebrity Boxing". The concept is a bunch of 70s and 80s C list celebrities play dodgeball. I'm sure its a promo tie-in for their Dodgeball movie but it kind of sounds funny in idea. I'd love to see someone like Monica Lewinsky take a couple of balls to the face.

I would actually watch this. Although I imagine it's a much better concept on paper. Fox would definitly figure out some way to suck all the fun out of it.

Agree on both counts. This could be pretty funny, and Dodgeball rules, but knowing Fox, they could screw it up. Now if they could cross Man vs. Beast with Celebrity Dodgeball ... hmm ...

Thanks for another excellent program, Fox. Who needs Arrested Development? Not me. I'd rather watch a bunch of idiots throw balls at each other. To me, TV can't get any better than that.

I guess Fox will put anything on the air, or at least think about it

Look, the point is not what quality shows are and are not being renewed. The point is that Corbin Bernsen will be able to eat again.

I say they put Randy Johnson in against a bunch of celebs, just like the Right Guard commercial. Good times!

Did anyone see Celebrity Mole: Yucatan? Remember when Tracy Gold got popped in the head in that one challenge?
They showed about 10 angles with close ups of the ball striking her head. Then it looked like she had post concusion syndrome and fell in the water.

"I don't care who you are, that's funny."

If they're doing damage, I am so watching this. Reminds me of the South Park episode. Maybe the Chinese National team will play.

I'm so in. I was too young for Battle of the Network Stars, so this is what I get, I guess. Although it sounds like it'll be the same people who were in that show competing in this show.
