Love Connection - Barry Harrell on the Love Connection Two Episodes from 1985

65 bucks back in 1992 is like 150 bucks now., not bad

@22centman36 Yea, but in LA? And they want a date good enough for a TV show. Trust me, that was not enough for dinner and a movie out there. haha

It's worse then that - I never received the gifts they say contestants get. I didn't tell her because I was willing to pay for it. At the I had just sold a business and had plenty of money so it was OK. Plus, I wanted to be on the show so it was fine with me. I just did not expect her to do all of that. By the way, I was asked to be on the show by two women who work for it, I met them at the Hark Rock Cafe in Hollywood where I lived at the time.

Thanks,

Barry

@22centman36 Thanks.

Thanks Sean. Yea that was a blast and the chick was so hot in real life. It was amazing that everyone knew who I was on the street for the next two weeks. Even today, years later, some people say they remember the episode.

That was cool and funny...and your beard is ace my friend!!!

From the date till the filming was about 4 months and we were not allowed to talk during that time. I was dating a girl by the time we did the show (I did the show at my girlfriends urging) so we never went out. Plus, I couldn’t afford Teran – that date cost me $600 (the show only paid $65). Teran was a rich kid and had very expensive tastes.

@harrellbugg The show paid only $65? Come on, Telepictures must've had more money than that. Why would they be so cheap? And more importantly, why didn't you tell your date about this?

[mushymcsquishy]

i take it from the video description things didn't go anywhere with this girl? i'm always curious about that when the couple has a good date. but yeah, a bit of tmi there!! sheesh!

[harrellbugg]

I believe you are correct – thank you for the comment.

That is the late Rod Roddy announcing "Love Connection".

[harrellbugg]

Yea - she date's the video for sure.

[gameshowluvr86]

Look at the size of her hair! Tres' '80s...

[harrellbugg]

Thanks and yes, it is a real racket. Most of the talent is virtually free.

OMG, that was great to see Barry. I grew up in California and lived in San Diego county at that time! A "Horn Dog"...Lmao! So you are promoting their show by being on it and they only paid $65.00...Wow!
