The first one USA broadcast on September 16, 1991. That was the day The Chuck Woolery Show debuted in syndication and when Love Connection did a double-run in most markets (new episode, repeat episode)

And we would enjoy these episodes again and again and AGAIN for the next five seasons.

Minus 5, the funky theme song, and the Paramount jingle to punctuate the episodes.

What's worse is that John Davidson thought BANKROLL was spelt with an E at the end when he played Scrabble.
