  • What the fuck is wrong with number 1? LOL!

  • This is Karen at her most beautiful. The guys are all complete doofuses, btw.

  • Oh my good...these guys are such losers. I wouldn't even date them..

  • These ugly clowns don't qualify for KAREN CARPENTER!!

  • After watching this, I would have loooved to be a fly on the wall with Karen & her friends. She probably laughed her ass off about this. Look at her, she's like "Yeah, whatever."

  • i hope she doesn't pic no 1 the jew ew

  • what a doll

  • oh gross, the guys XD

  • July 1970, the song was just released.

  • How the heck did Karen keep a straight face throughout the questions? I would have laughed my butt off.

  • 7:11 "Hmm... serial killer, pervert, or stalker. GREAT selection here..." Poor Karen!

  • Her choices stink!

  • 1 is kind of okay looking, 2 and 3 are eeeewwwish

  • @HeartsGerman actually scratch that 1 is super eeeew

  • rockdou, who did Karen choose for her date??????? the tape was at the end and would like to know

  • @pkappel006 you have to watch the second part, if you want to know who Karen chose. It is listed on the right with the other videos.

  • @galaxy582 yes, thanks, I realized after the message I listed..........

  • Good God contestant Number One is a complete arsehole! He's so in love with himself there's no room for anyone else.

  • Christ, They couldnt choose any worse looking men for poor karen. She was being PUNKED 35 yrs before Aston's' show

  • Poor Karen,always dealing with creeps. #1 sounds like such a sarcastic prick!who gives a f*ck whether you call it a grocery store or supermarket, probably butthurt from past relationships. I would've loved a chance to date to date her and appreciated it! #2 the sanest most tolerable one in the group. #3 Sounds and looks like he got high off paint as a kid. Sad that Karen never met that man to love her right and appreciate her like she deserves.I would've love too but I was born too late. =*(

  • number one sounds like a serial killer.

  • LOL poor Karen, those guys don't realize how lucky they are! This is also so early! right before close to you (album) was released. She was so shy. Beautiful non the less.

  • 3:44 "I'm a foot man."

    KAREN: "Uhh..."

    4:30 Bachelor #3 finishes awkward long-winded obsessed fan speech...

    KAREN: [cuts him off] "Thank you, 3.... uhh...."

    *thinks* Stalker...

    Poor Karen- all three of those guys are creeps! At least #2 had a cute accent. Karen certainly did like Englishmen (Terry Ellis, John "Softly" Adrian)

  • Yes she had a beautiful voice & great recordings & probably a great person. But she was "NOT" attractive at all. neither were the other contestants. Sorry the truth hurts!!

  • @thewaybackmachine You know, it's comments like that she did NOT need.... she felt very self-conscious about her appearance.

  • @arfies I sorta agree with you BUT I cant stand when fans overkill with compliments that arent true. I was replying to the comments about how ugly the men are that were picked for her. They all look like they would be a match for her

  • @arfies She was controlled alot by her mother Agnes. Agnes pretty much told her not to wear makeup and cosmetics. She later wore cosmetics during her television shows and on tours. But yes she was rather plain looking. Also I think she had self esteem and confidence problems in dealing with her weight even in 1970 when this came out. Again her mother controlled her. Karen didn't swear much in public but she most certainly did in private.

  • @rbsvy91368 I read both the Coleman and Schmidt books, and although they got into Agnes' controlling ways, said nothing about makeup besides Karen being a tomboy and not really into "girly-girl" stuff like that at first (she would be later, and looks gorgeous in the Perry Como, Budokan, and "Sleigh Ride" videos, among others). Her weight wasn't really an issue with her, post-first-1967-diet, until 1973.

  • @arfies THANK YOU. So many Carpenters fans say that she always had weight problems. No she didn't! Like you said, her obsession with her weight didn't start until she was 23. Around the time she was 19-20, she just wanted to lose her "baby fat". 24 is when her weight seriously started to go wrong...

  • @rbsvy91368 Lol yeah, I read about her humor being very sarcastic. Makes me feel more normal...

  • @thewaybackmachine I don't think she looks that great here with that outfit and hair and she was still a tomboy.In the next few years she worked on being womanly and it worked. I liked her hair a lot in the next few years up until the late '70's.When she cut it around '81 she didn't look so good.Plus then she was so emaciated and her eyes started to get lifeless. I think hairstyle has a lot to do with a woman's looks and clothes. She really was a beautiful lady. Those eyes and smile...so pretty.

  • Wow that women at the start had a wonderful voice....wouldnt mind her singing for me for the rest of my life :p

  • @CONKER17 its the same women?

  • Karen was a fox!

  • Oh, wow... My God, those guys kinda really aren't that great... xD

    I've been looking for this clip, thank you so much for posting it!

  • WOW a date with Karen :) lucky guys :P

  • Is #1 seem a bit up tight?

  • #1 = tool.

  • RIP Karen

  • Karen is so beautiful and talented. Ditto Richard. They were so talented. RIP lovely Karen.

  • LOL. Poor Karen was still in her tomboy phase.

  • Karen seemed shy and modest, but her wit and quirkiness was evident here.

  • I like the way Karen makes a face after the 3rd bachelor said, Hello Karen.

  • Note to Bachelor No.3: Wash hair before appearing on national TV.

  • she has almost the same outfit as the one on their first album, except the yellow and black are reversed and here she has a black headband

  • It would have been cool if Karen dated and had kids with Keith Moon.

  • WHOS BACHELOR 1?! LOL HIS GROCERY ANSWER SO CUTE LOOOOOOOOOOL OH MAN.

  • Comment removed

  • first guy looks like mike myers XD

  • Angel <3 <3 <3 :)

  • In 1984, Richard married Mary Rudolph have five children: Kristi Lynn, Traci Tatum, Mindi Karen, Colin Paul and Taylor Mary.

  • Karen dated a number of well-known men including Mike Curb, Tony Danza, Mark Harmon, Steve Martin and Alan Osmond.Karen married real estate developer Thomas James Burris on August 31, 1980 The marriage was not a happy one, and the couple filed for divorce in November 1981

  • ew they all suck haha

  • Does anyone know when Jim Lange started wearing glasses on TDG?

    (this episode, BTW, aired in July of 1970)

  • Karen Carpenter TE ADORO por ser la cantante más preciosa y talentosa que ha dado la industria de la música.. I REALLY LOVE YOU and GOD BLESS YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE,

  • HAH #2 bow is huge <33 love his accent

  • The are all acting

    Karen's Life was a mystery

  • @Aliendear You say "in my opinion, [Karen] had a long incestuous affair with her brother." Either she did or she didn't. It isn't a matter of opinion. Where is your evidence?

  • Comment removed

  • @Aliendear You still give no evidence. Only opinions. Regardless of the length of time involved in arriving at your opinion, it is not evidence. As far as the music business, it is more varied than you imply. Karen herself said that the Carpenters were not a part of the mainstream of the time. Without backing up your views with any evidence, you deny the possibility that, unlike many musicians, Karen may have had values.

  • Comment removed

  • @Aliendear And? Actually, it is not unusual for older siblings to have influence over younger siblings. That doesn't prove incest. Also, incest rumors about the Carpenters are nothing new. An August 2, 1976, People Magazine article on the Carpenters mentions a deejay's asking Richard "if their thing was incest." That also doesn't prove incest. The fact that the Carpenters didn't fit the mold of the times made it difficult for many people to arrive at a sensible view of them.

  • Comment removed

  • @Aliendear Yes, still with nothing more than fanciful speculation to support your conclusion.

  • Kind of ironic a food advertisement came up next to her

  • #1 is a weird dude!! at 6:00, he looks like he's gonna get up and attack somebody!

  • lmao!!! 4:04!! a thigh man!!! and she rolls her eyes!!!

  • #1!!! I would have picked him, he's such an eccentric character.

  • hahahah he's so weird.

  • cheesy ... but great!

  • they all sucked

  • I don't know what you're all talking about. #1 is hilarious. He's my favorite.

  • the text on the wall, "the dating game", is totally psykidelic hippie font

  • With these three geniuses we could re-open the "Was Karen Gay" debacle. RIP, Karen, we miss you.

  • was this a real episode of the dating game? because all 3 guys were ridiculous. poor karen deserves better. love the show tho!

  • 2 was cute.

    Those other guys were ridiculous.

    I felt really bad for her.

  • isnt Paul Davis a very famous guy who recently passed?

  • number 2 is my dad, he said he and karen had a very good date together.

    he told me 1 or 2 other things about her too. she was a very naughty girl.

  • hello.. please reply to this . please.. iv just found out about karen carpenter... and youd said that your dad.. number 2 when on a date with her.. on teh dating game.. and your grandad said that' she was a very naughty girl' in what sense.. please reply.. i hope you do.. thanks x

  • Bollocks

  • first time i have heard her sing live like this. makes me think how stunning her voice really is. beautiful

  • what song was playing at the begining?

  • "Close to You"

  • number 3 is like a nerd

  • none of those losers were nearly good enough for Karen...

  • no. 2 is really bill clinton

  • numba 2 is funni!

  • That's freakin' nutz!

  • #1 is gay. not a supermarket its grocery store. and #3 is creppy, the last thing he thought about was her, thats not romatic its scary.

  • ahaha bachelor #3 is creeeeeepy xD

  • 3 is weird

    he has greasie hair

  • Karen: "Okay guys, I've heard enough and I'm outta here."

  • ...did Herb Alpert play trumpet on the 'Dating Game' theme?

  • were those guys for real?! It almost seems like a parody or something...

  • oh man poor Karen all those guys are pretty fugly! She is adorable :P

  • @loisjvlane i agree and there stupid. geez "i would talk nonstop so that you wouldnt have a chance to blush"

  • Bachelor #1 reminds me of Cillian Murphy (Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow) from "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight".

  • When they say something dumb she's just like, "Oh... okay then..."

  • Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! How come this doesn't pop up when you are browsing the Carptenters song??? Love it.

    What a bunch of creeps though? I don't remember there being a "I'll pass" option.

  • OMFG

  • Karen was a beautifully spirited person, what a loss the world had when she passed.

  • Karen Carpenter is the most beautiful woman that ever lived, I meant. :) :D

  • you have to remember that just like dating shows today most of the contestants didn't care about the date. they are mainly aspiring actors or comedians who are looking for some camera time and free screen test.

  • number one is creepy

  • pick number 1!

  • Wow...I can't believe those guys messed up a chance to go on a date with Karen Carpenter!!! Why weren't they just polite to her...instead of being wierd?

  • Those guys were so horrible !

  • I repeat...why you dont listen me?

    KC

  • beautiful girl with an equally beautiful voice!

  • shut up u dnt know wat r u saying

  • You're a moron. She is the most BEAUTIFUL woman that ever lived! I wonder how ugly you are? You've already shown one side of your utter ugliness. Get a life idiot. Don't come to these videos spreading your lies, nobody gives a care what you think. Your brain is the size of a raisin, if not smaller.

  • God, you are absolutely worthless. You hide behind a computer and bash people better than you. Get a life, moron.

  • No, you're ugly and stupid as hell. You get over that and stop commenting on videos where you just post negativity. My behavior? You are pathetic. Go back and read your posts. So much for rights, eh? I wouldn't give you any. Someone needed to respond to those lies and filth and here I am.

  • Wow... If those guys were all her selection, how could she choose the lesser of 'evils'?

  • Number 1 threatened to kick her? I'd have lost my appetite for the rest of my life, too.

  • WERE THEY SERIOUS? whoever the producer was that chose these three clowns for a date with Karen should have been fired on the spot! sad.

  • Gads, she looks so uncomfortable. And why not... these guys are jerks. Horrible. One seems to be trying hard to not be picked -- at least not by a girl. Three is like a puppy dog slobbering. You can almost guarantee there's a pool of saliva at his feet. At least two seems almost normal.

  • no wonder she died of anorexia. This experience must have driven her insane, driving away all thoughts of anything life sustaining. They gave her three guys with some kind of pedigree and they all gave the kind of answers normally reserved for their shrinks.

  • these three total goofus' got a shot at the lovely Karen in 1969? jesus

  • I think the first one is retatrred LOL, I'd pick none!

  • I heard the dating show had a comeback in the eighties?

  • damn is this how people in those days really tried to pick up girls?? If that's true then its a wonder why any of us are here to post on this clip in the first place!

  • how adorable she was at 2:55 to 3:05 when she first came out and the host introduced her. She seemed so shy and not the "dating game" type, but it was cute.

  • is #1 even trying to get the date?

  • Bachelor no1 sucks

  • i choose number 1!!! sexy man <3

  • Number 1 said there was a difference between a grocery store and a supermarket.. Hmmm.. Number 3 seemed a little obessesed didn't he?

  • It would have been cool if she would have picked all three.

  • Does anyone know who she picked? Poor girl wearing that ugly pantsuit.

  • She looks beautiful in it!

    Damn, these guys, ALL THREE OF THEM-- Paul, James Anthony and Mel Hobbs, left-to-right camera-wise, are so funny they make me cringe with their uniquely hillarious pick-up lines!

  • jerk

  • this whole thing seems so absurd now. who the hell ends up with people they met on television?

  • Beautiful girl with equally beautiful voice!

  • Aw! Poor Karen. I miss her so much and I was born long after she died. She left us much too early.

  • 1st one is a feg... 3rd one is just so ... ghey? 2nd one is the best, and this is coming from a guy =P

  • You couldn't be more right.

  • pick #2 karen, he's real cute.

  • carpenter sounds so mean he getsin my nervs!

  • Hah what a bunch of losers.

  • Poor Karen. Bachelor # 1 was obnoxious. Bachelor # 2 wanted sex on the first date. Bachelor # 3 seemed like a nice guy, but wanted to marry her after the first date. Karen didn't have much to choose from these three guys.

  • #3 is the best choice tho.

  • Love her 60s attire.

  • Poor Karen, she looks extremely uncomfortable. What a bunch of losers.

  • OMG!!! That was awesome! I had no idea they were on that show. Thank you for this.

  • #1(the writer) needs an editor.

    This episode is like a festival of the world's worst pick up lines. Note: the music before the break is from the soundtrack of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.

  • Whats with the greazy hair?

  • i wouldn't go with anyone of them.

  • They're bad, so bad, hahahaha

  • yep yep. her best choice is number 3 but still he is bad as the other two poor lady..lols.

  • good for you, xxlalaskip. these guys were so unsecure of themselves they all came off as obnoxious losers. reminds me of when i was in my twenties, thank goodness, a long, long, time ago.

  • omg the guys are soo creepy!!!!

  • LOL!

    :)

  • #1 never answers any of her questions and # 3? whats with the whole 'i thought about you' YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THE GIRL!

  • I hope Karen fired her agent immediately after this was taped.

  • #3: It's Slim Pickens! Wow, the lovely Karen is stuck with THESE three?!?! I'm going to go with #2 at this point. At least he seems like he's just having fun with it. The killer, the dandy, and the hick...

  • LOL, the poncey Brit! Hahaha. I wonder where he is now??

  • Karen looks thrilled to be there. She looks like she could sense the loser vibes even before she started the questions.

  • #1 is actually serving time now...

  • for real?

  • why so long in the face, Karen??

  • Mr. 3 looks like one of My Three Sons.

  • What the hell!? #1 is scary.. serial killing material. Why would the producers choose such RETARDS for this show to make that poor girl uncomfortable.. ugh

  • One hopes that those three men -- all probably 60+ now -- would be profoundly embarrassed by how silly they were on that day.
