Hollywood Connection - Allison/David

From the same week as Annie/Donald, it's another episode of The Hollywood Connection with Jim Lange!
Allison and David are trying to match the celebrities on their opinions and ideas to win up to $3,000 and a trip to Puerto Vallarta. Who can do it with:
Robert Reed, Pat Carroll, Nipsey Russell, Jo Ann Pflug, Jack Carter, Jaye P. Morgan.

Host: "The opposite sex will be attracted to you if..." Robert Reed: "Does not apply."

[@Chainsawslots]

This concept never had a chance

[@VeRTiGo9191]

Its the Great Value version of Match Game...

[@erikpridemore3174]

"The Hollywood Connection" starred Jim Lange and featured six celebrity players and announcer Jay Stewart, who announced on "Bullseye" in season 1 which Jim Lange also starred in. But unfortunately "The Hollywood Connection" did not return for season 2 in the 1978-79 season, and both game shows now belong to Sony Pictures Television. RIP Jim Lange and Jay Stewart.

Your typical "star studded" game show of the time. So many tried to emulate MG and HS.

Nice pants. Gene wore the same ones.

Loving Jim's trousers. -:)

Did he soil them? J/K Gotta love the 70s!

[@cuteindianaboi4]

i think they gave her much easier questions to answer

[@jackbusby9602]

I agree, but all things considered, Robert Reed was right in that every man wishes he had more sex appeal. He should have known that...

[@paulnguyen8910]

Allison left with $4,800 in cash & prizes.

[@johnfenner5550]

Gene Rayburn and Jim Lange probably looked back on this and laughed their asses off.

[@georgemaster689]

Match Game 73 would replace this.Great move on CBS' part.

[@samturner64]

This is from 1977, so it's a Match Game clone not predecessor...

[@georgemaster689]

@@samturner64 Oh? I thought MG73 replaced this.How wrong I was ☺️

[@samturner64]

MG73 replaced hollywood's talking, maybe thats what you meant?

[@georgemaster689]

@@samturner64 Oh, yeah! Oops,wrong show.My bad!

[@ericjonmagnuson2728]

​@@georgemaster689 The confusion might've been the result of the fact that both shows not only had essentially the same production company, but used exactly the same theme music ("Virgo" by Robert Ascot).

[@JMFabiano]

Prepare to connect with the celebrities!

[@johnpjohnson8112]

[@samturner64]

Yes

[@chrisarseneault5617]

This is a match game rip off that sucked.

[@Rlotpir1972]

Remember 'Break the Bank' (1975-1976)? A rip-off of 'Hollywood Squares'.

[@samturner64]

Both shows were alright, but I liked Break the Bank more.

[@justinbryant9419]
