The Dating Game (1965–1986)
10/10
Original Dating Show!
29 November 2012
Warning: Spoilers
This is the original Dating Show. As it would bring out shows like "Singled Out, Blind Date," among others. But this show is an original as I grew up with him.

Tennessee Ernie Ford announcer and very underrated Jim Lange was the original and best host of the show. As three men or sometimes three women would be out of view except to hear their voices.

As they would base it on personality and character. When they are asked the questions by the bachelorette or bachelor occasionally.

Whoever they feel is the best one will be picked. And they will go out on a date either on a trip or to a night on the town occasionally. With a chaperon in place to make sure that all works out well and nothing bad going on.

A funny show as Chuck Barris, later of the Gong Show and also, would produce hits like Treasure Hunt and the Newlywed Game, would become his first show to place him on the map.

The show way before it's time!
