Love Connection (April 18, 1989)

A Love Connection episode from April 1989.
Contestants include magician Wanda, who didn't have a good match; Chrissy, who hooked up with a similarly-named guy; and Melanie, whose date the audience votes for before the show ends.
This recording came from a damaged tape, so the middle of this video is very defective, alas.

Justin seemed like a nice guy..wanda on the other hand 🙄

[@NachoAE360]

He did, nice guy and handsome!

[@brandonjusblong]

Facts I'm betting ole magic Wanda's #1 trick is her head spinning all the way around maybe that's what got her into magic

[@cranford69]

High maintenance women are cancerous to the dating scene. On another note, imagine a world without GPS. Having to spend time talking to ppl trying to get directions is arduous at best.

[@deborahmiller1214]

Justin was great! Funny, good-looking, mature, military guy. I hope he has/had a happy life.

[@Doc1855]

I wish they would bring back the shows like this again.

[@richbrake9910]

Why would they do that? These older shows cost much more to produce, and the masses of asses are willing to watch today's junk.

[@Doc1855]

@@richbrake9910 Well, some of us refuse to watch shows from Jollywood because they promote trans people the LBGTQ crap 💩. So we watch older shows that doesn’t have as much filth

[@RJ-sp6yi]

No they created silly things like love island which is a lot more expensive and ridiculous

[@1MNUTZ]

Dang i forgot they didn't have any gps or internet back then they actually had to get directions by word of mouth or a physical map like magellan did

[@gordoncheyne5567]

That first woman was a downer.

[@more6326]

She looks like the woman ( Black version) from fatal attraction

[@Despond]

Right off the bat I knew Wanda's type lol. The second guy won the whole crowd over with the sister comment.

[@usa02]

The legendary voice of "Jeopardy!" himself, Johnny Gilbert announcing!

[@ericm242910]

Chuck even thanked him like Trebek did, and like the Jeopardy hosts to this day.

[@drewzuhosky6826]

Johnny's booming voice, while perfect for _Jeopardy!,_ did *not* match _Love Connection_ at all. His delivery is too dramatic for what's supposed to be a lighthearted show.

[@Vipergirl01]

Wanda acted surprised Justin said no to the free date😂 “what? Everyone wants me!”

[@gailcondino6996]

Wow. Justin , He’s wayyyyyy to good for her. Poor guy had to deal with that. 😂

[@jmiller297]

Wanda looked like a cross between Jody Watley and Terrance Trent D'arby

[@drummingdanny84]

(Guffaws like Chuck Woolery)

[@MrCJ-qz9dl]

I don't think anything was wrong with Wanda. I thought she looked kinda nice, if only she would smile. She did have a nice smile, when she did smile, but it looks like she's been burned, so her guard is up. When Chuck asked her if she'd go out on a date with Justin again she said, "WHAT?", I thought l would die.

[@doloresdelgreco8500]

I only hope Wanda learned some things about life in the last 30 years!!!!

[@comancheviperrrr]

She probably ended up with several kids, not married the manager of the local McDonald’s made

[@user-ck6ly4st3v]

Justin was handsome, smile and expression like Clark Gable. Devilish mischievous grin. 😆 🤣 😂 Seemed fun too. Lighten up girl!

[@erikandrus4387]

I hope Justin was asked back to have a better dating experience, Wanda was dreadful.

[@jamesr1703]

Justin was definitely a keeper. She's a fool.

[@theidolbabblerthedailydose33]

Someone fix the tracking!!

[@drummingdanny84]

Somebody must've enjoyed this video quite a bit.

[@scottburton9701]

"LC" is a certifiable guilty pleasure.

[@richbrake9910]

Second couple was so cool to go to MACs and beat the stigma and still look good.

[@isabellegiorgis2975]

Justin was so handsome and had a great personality !

[@suelavaia1940]

I always wonder where the contestants are today? I hope Wanda chiled out with age 😂

[@TheRenard10]

I agree. This show needs to return! I want to go on it myself! My family wants to hear the intimate details of my next date! 💙💖💋💋

[@kengeorgejones6855]

Good to see more of your uploads. I hope you have a good holiday season.

[@SchfiftyThreeRetroTV3]

Thanks...same to you. I haven't had much time to upload stuff in the last year, but decided this week to crank out some Love Connection videos that used to be on here.

[@gailcondino6996]

Wow. The Chris guy is sweet and very cute. Nice white teeth & adorable smile. He actually looks like Tom Brady from the New England patriot football team ! ❤

[@SpenceCurry]

Looks count for guys as well.

[@Doc1855]

After they’ve had such a horrible date, they Always say, “Chuck, I had a great time “

[@michael57511]

Do you have anymore Love Connection episodes? If you do can you upload them?

[@RonaldEarlWilsher]

[@NachoAE360]

It seems like Chrissy became a lawyer, her hair still is voluminous but not to the same degree lol

[@joydunn2109]

We all had Perms Back then!

[@cranford69]

If this show were to comeback today, it would be beyond funny with the world we’re in now. “Chuck she wasn’t even a real woman! She had a penis!” 😂

[@user-ck6ly4st3v]

The Chrises were so adorable

[@evanscott9473]

What kind of cat do you think she died alone with?

[@ritakraus903]

That Wanda was awful and not attractive at all. He was sweet and nice looking.

[@jamesr1703]

Wow! Chrissy and that 80s "helmet hair".

[@pdxmetal]

There's this thing on a VCR called a tracking button...

[@SchfiftyThreeRetroTV3]

It isn't a tracking issue. The tape itself was damaged a long time ago, thanks to being in a humid environment and kept away in a storage unit for about 14 years.

[@elizabethmenegon8057]

I think Wanda can be a good sport if she loosen up a little. They actually seem a good match if they better communicate with each other!

[@ericcandelaria2818]

Did Wanda just roll out bed?? Snobby girl with messy hair… 🪮💁‍♀️

[@richbrake9910]

No GPS back then. Today people get mad if you do not use GPS and you're late, even if you do not have a cellular phone.

[@laurademan5200]

I think Wanda has been hurt and doesn't trust

[@JohnPaul-pb4eu]

Chis took her to Macdonalds and went to the drive thru for more privacy. After he got his happy meal he popped a silver dollar size hole in the bottom of the happy meal box and put his johnson thru the hole. She asked him if he had anymore fries and he said sure, then she put her hand in the box and I bet she felt nuts!!

[@RandyLaheySunnyvale]

Really though, TV was not that choppy in the 80s. Wtf.

[@jaysasso4392]

Nice guys dont call a woman a snot on national TV, especially after being late for a date that he wasnt even paying for...he coulda been nice and just tried a little...but he ain't nice...if had accepted her ride he would have gotton there at the same time
