If it’s successful, maybe CBS will reconsider this WBBM pilot from 1958.

Looks like it's through the Freevee app, so no charge.

Stupid question about the Love Connection episodes: Are they free or do you have to pay for them?

They have a chance to do the funniest callback ever if they can convince Gedde Watanabe and "Weird Al" Yankovic to make a cameo in one episode.

Sounds a little like the old (Jan Murray) Treasure Hunt).

I've known about this for a while but couldn't say anything until now. Starting in July (just after midnight on July 1 to be exact), the WBTV Funny Favorites channel on Amazon Prime will have the entire first season (1983-84) of Love Connection in their rotation.

Caught an episode this afternoon which had a female contestant who was 51.  Then realized if she's still kicking, she'd be pushing 95 now.

Wait....Wha???.

That Carruthers thought of that particular actor for the part is another reminder of how much older Larson seemed than his actual age.

For sure.  I saw the episodes first-run, and at the time I thought for sure he was in his 50s.  I think he was only 35 at the time.

Moral of the story: If you are fortunate enough to have the chance to sell something to someone who was completely unaware and/or blindly oblivious to the fact that this very concept was a failed GSN pilot, you too can be rich beyond your wildest dreams.

No doubt it will be executed in far more of an epic style, and I suspect Harris will do a finer job that, say, Jeff Ross, but at least my experience has always taught that the core concept of any show is what sustains any audience beyond the first few minutes of curiosity sampling.  Call me cynical (or worse), but I'll be fascinated to see how radically different this is from what was just shared here at said core.

And with all that said...since it's Netflix, assuming it gets a lick of algorithmic support, it's all but teed up to be a cost-effective hit.

Boy, is the mantra of every real estate broker truer than ever...
