Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 05, 1991

Anyone seen this? I’m to young

Good choice! I loved Love Connection when I was a kid…though I wasn’t quite as young as she is. I was 11.

Going back even farther, there was an afternoon show that debuted in 1965 called The Dating Game and ran through the mid-1970s, then revived several times over the next two decades.

A bachelor or bachelorette had to select a date from one of three choices on the other side of a partition based solely on the answers they gave to questions posed to them. Sometimes, they would have celebrities involved. (I believe there was an episode with Maureen McCormick).

I didn’t watch it regularly, but I remember one particular episode. Of the three bachelors, two are what one would call “hunks.” The third was a nice looking fellow, but not the big brawny golden-haired type. But he had a razor-sharp wit. For example, one question was “Bachelor #2, why wouldn’t your mother like me?” Answer: “I’m a twin and she’d hate to break up a matched set.”

The girl chose him, of course. They brought out the other two guys first, then him. You could see her face sort of fall when she saw him.

First, they didn’t want Zoe watching television. Now, Wanda understands the calming effects it can have on a child long enough to get dinner cooked.
