This talk[[Talk showShow]]/GameShow[[Game Show]] hybrid was basically ''[[The Dating Game]]'' for [[The Eighties]]. Hosted by Chuck Woolery and created by Eric Leiber, ''Love Connection'' gave young unmarried contestants a choice of three potential dates, and the [[Studio Audience]] voted on whom the contestant would date.
 
The series originally aired in [[Syndication]] from 1983-94, with a revival from 1998-99.

This was later used on his version of ''[[Lingo]]'' and referenced in an ad for ''[[Greed (TV series)|Greed]]'' reruns on [[GSN]].
