Disc News: TV Icons Hit The Gutter In Celebrity Bowling

Disc Announcements, News

There was a time when watching stars end up in the gutter wasn’t that pathetic as Charlie Sheen’s decline. Before stars were forced to work with Donald Trump to get airtime, there was Celebrity Bowling. Each week four of your favorite TV stars appeared at the lanes ready to battle for a new washer. This was back before TV actors earned Ted Danson money. The show’s like The Love Boat with balls. Now these battles in rented shoes are coming to DVD. S’More Entertainment will release Celebrity Bowling on June 14, 2011. The three disc set will have 15 episodes. Here’s a quick rundown of the clashes:
