Big deal for us Generation Xers. 99% of the contestants were as deep as a rain puddle. Every date seemed to involve bungee jumping.

How many gays per episode are required to meet diversity standards?

Would be funny if the homos were psycho drama queens.

The bad date re-caps were hilarious (good dates were kind of boring). Chuck Woolery was priceless.

You mean like the girl that was an artist and a poetist?

Back in the VCR days, I accidently recorded "Love Connection" once.

Once was more than enough, and I fail to understand the attraction of Andy Cohen as well.

I should be angry at Fox for giving this CW-oriented garbage a try when they've killed off so many more watchable shows without hesitation.

IOW, "Love Connection w/ Andy Cohen" should have been Dead At Proposal.

CW-oriented

What exactly does that mean, Calvin?

The whole idea behind the longevity of game shows is that they rarely change. For example, Survivor, although “radical” for its time is the exact same show it was 15 years ago.

With Andy Cohen (the evil genius behind the Real Housewives of.... series) hosting, there will be plenty of change, and none of it good.

You've never taken a gander at the daytime line of the CW network? Lowest common denominator "talk" shows and the like.

"Love Connection" would fit right in.

Heck, I heard they recycled a Food Network guy, Robert Irvine, to host a talk show.

You would think Fox would have learned something from their “Who Wants to Marry a Wife Beater” fiasco. (it was really “a Millionaire” that turned out to be a wife beater...)

Why don’t they reboot He-Man instead?
