I like GSN's Baggage. It's like the dating game on steroids.
Also, there are 3 versions of Family Feud all good. The hosts are Steve Harvey, Richard Karn, and John O'Hurley. They ask questions Richard Dawson never had to ask. On the tame side,what about Tarzan would Jane think is sexy? Once during fast money they asked to name something your body has that starts with the letter L. This 20 something girl said lice. Oops. Number one answer was leg.
Awhile back GSN showed every episode of what's my line all the way back to 1950. Salvador Dali was the mystery guest once. Wish they'd do that again.
Just checked in memorium. No mention of the death last week of Jim Lange, the original host of the dating game. He was 81. GSN (game show network) will be airing 8 consecutive episodes of the old dating game show on Wed. March 5th from 8AM-12PM ET. in his honor.
Haven't seen that show for decades. It led to the various incarnations of the Newlywed game, and, besides Baggage, there was an MTV show in the 90s called Singled Out, in which 100 guys try to get a date with one girl. Jenny McCarthy was the main host. That was like the dating game on acid.
I'll be working when they show those reruns, but hopefully they'll show them later. Willie Mays was one of the bachelors once, and he got picked. Once a military guy had to pick between 3 good looking actresses. He picked Susan Oliver because she answered one of his questions revealing she had a private jet. I always liked that they played an excerpt from the song Tijuana taxi when the girl was entering the stage. RIP Jim Lange and I hope those shows will be aired at least a second time.
