The program was revived three additional times in syndication afterwards. The first revival premiered in 1. Jim Lange hosted The Dating Game for its entire ABC network run and the 1. The 1. 98. 6 revival was hosted by Elaine Joyce for its first season and Jeff Mac. Gregor for its remaining two seasons. When the show was revived with a different format in 1. Brad Sherwood was named as its host. Chuck Woolery took over in 1. Beginning in 1. 96. The Dating Game was often paired with The Newlywed Game. This was especially true when the two shows entered syndication; in fact, in 1. The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game were sold as a package called "The Dating- Newlywed Hour". The program was originally broadcast in black- and- white, but when a prime- time version began in October 1. ABC daytime series to be broadcast in color on a regular basis. Typically, a bachelorette would question three bachelors, who were hidden from her view; at the end of the questioning period, she would choose one to go out with on a date paid for by the show. Occasionally, the roles would be reversed with a man questioning three ladies; other times, a celebrity would question three players for a date for themselves or for a co- worker or a relative of theirs. Before becoming famous, Farrah Fawcett, Suzanne Somers, Yvonne Craig, Lindsay Wagner, Tom Selleck and Lee Majors appeared as contestants on the show in the 1. Other contestants who appeared before becoming famous included The Carpenters, Jackson Bostwick, Joanna Cameron, Andy Kaufman (who went under the pseudonym Baji Kimran), Steve Martin, Burt Reynolds, John Ritter, Phil Hartman, Jennifer Granholm (Governor of Michigan from 2. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Alex Kozinski.[1] Serial killer Rodney Alcala's episodes were shown during his murder spree and after he had been convicted of rape in California. Some contestants appeared even after they were fairly well known, including a young Michael Jackson, Ron Howard, Maureen Mc. Cormick, Barry Williams, Sally Field, Richard Dawson, Jay North, and Paul Lynde. One standard trademark was that at the end of each episode, the host and winning contestants would blow a kiss to the viewers. Game play[edit]Original version[edit]Generally the bachelorette would ask questions written in advance on cards to each of the three hidden bachelors. The same question could be asked to multiple bachelors. This continued until time ran out. The bachelorette would make her choice based solely on the answers to her questions. Occasionally, the contestant was a bachelor who would ask questions to three bachelorettes. Certain kinds of questions were "off- limits", such as name, age, occupation, and income. When the original format returned to the syndicated revival in 1. For the first season of the 1. The Dating Game used a different format. A notable change was that the prospective bachelor/bachelorette knew what the first names of his or her potential dates were at all times. Instead of asking questions of their potential date, the bachelor/bachelorette was presented with two pun- laden statements, each pertaining to one of the potential dates. When chosen, a new statement replaced the old statement and the potential date explained the reason why that fact pertained to them. Play continued until time expired, after which the bachelor/bachelorette gave their choice. In several weeks of episodes that aired at various times throughout the season, another format was used. This format saw the players choose a potential date based on how good they looked and another based on personality. To determine the "looks" portion, the bachelor/bachelorette observed their potential dates (another change not seen on any Dating Game series beforehand) for several seconds; the three players wore noise- cancelling headphones so they could not hear what the bachelor/bachelorette was saying about them and they identified by numbers. The statement round was used to determine the "personality" portion. After the game ended the bachelor/bachelorette chose one panelist based on looks and one based on personality, then was prompted to choose either of the two. In the case the bachelor/bachelorette chose the same person for both looks and personality, they won a cash prize of $5.
