  • Not the most flattering pic of Jim Lange, lol. Looks like he just had his IQ divided by 20 and lost a game of chess to a cactus.

  • Could someone post the 1973 episode with Candy Clark?

  • Right, 1972, right after the Michael Jackson episode, was when they began to use this "Little Rosie" theme to close the final year on ABC. Well, with that, there have been only 4-7 episodes of The "New" Dating Game that reran on GSN and from the '78-'80 version, only about 10 but I'm not sure if Rip Taylor's 1978 appearance has ever made it to GSN though since Dating Game beyond the ABC Daytime/Primetime version really didn't get a regular spot in reruns.

  • Ah,that's the stuff. Thanks for the great memories!

  • Nice!! Where can I download this at?

  • I loved that stuff in the ether as a kid....I detest bullfighting, but love "The Lonely Bull."

  • I am a big Herb Alpert fan and have a couple, of his CDs!

  • I dig it, thanks. I remember the Herb Alpert records being played when I was really little.

  • Actually, according to clips I have seen elsewhere on YouTube (I did not see the reruns on GSN), Barris began using his Dixieland-like theme before the end of the ABC run, which occurred in the summer of 1973. I suspect it therefore began somewhere around 1972, probably as a cosmetic touch to help the show's faltering ratings against the NBC soap opera "The Doctors." The 1973-74 revival was basically an attempt to keep the show in production; it failed.

  • Yeah as I loved this music too! Really a dancing theme IMHO!
