Description: What are the odds? Recorded at random and saved without meaning to, here is an episode of The Dating Game on WSNS Channel 44. Cool enough because it has the original commercial breaks intact - however as I was scanning through it I slowly recognized the face - Chicago's Bozo the Clown the Second, Mr. Joey D'Auria was one of the bachelors!

In Part 1, we hear the intro to the show given by host Jim Lange - it's cut off slightly, however from what he says later in the show we know that he's talking about Joey - who he says "enjoys bagpipe music - hooo!" and "building castles in the sand".

Commercial: Nu Vinyl (could this be the original version of the ad?) - only $2.98. Available at Osco Drug, Goldblatt's, Ribordy, Montgomery Ward (Auto Dept.), Woolworth/Woolco, Walgreens/Walgreen Agency. (ending voiceover by Don Ferris)

Commercial: Lawrence Auto Trim - Automobile Interior & Exterior Specialists - located at 2959 Lawrence Avenue in Chicago. Phone 478-4433. (voiceover by Mal Wyman)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, July 24th 1980 during the 5:30pm to 6:00pm timeframe. (the show itself has a Copyright of 1979 though)
