Too bad they can't show the Laboriously Titled Word Game Starring Jim Lange, as Dating Game is a poor vehicle to show off what Jim can do. (Bullseye isn't that much better and Name That Tune was awful). Lifetime moved at a good clip, was a fun word game and I thought Jim handled it well.
Definitely agree about
Lifetime, which would've been a pleasant surprise. Of the Lange-hosted shows GSN's aired, though, I'd have preferred
Bullseye as the tribute since, as you said,
The Dating Game isn't really the best example of Jim's abilities. Given how poor
Hollywood Connection was and how poorly Lange handled
The Newlywed Game, I think showing either of those would've felt like an insult.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think GSN's currently airing anything from the Barry-Enright
or Barris stables.
