What Happened to Shows Like "Blind Date" & "Elimidate"?

Dating Naked is kind of like Blind Date and the ante was upped by shows like The Bachelor. Regular blind dates on TV seem kind of quaint now.

I used to love Blind Date and Elimidate. I was probably too young to truly appreciate them though. Would be interesting to watch them now that I'm older.

Gone with the 1990s & early 2000s. It has been replaced with crap like TMZ & reruns of Two & a Half Men.

First Run Syndication isn't what it used to be, then again, I don't think it even exists anymore. Its mostly reruns of off network shows.

Watched both Blind Date and Fifth Wheel, fun shows, too bad no shows like that anymore.

Early 2000s were good for fun and different kinds of shows, I remember
also liking Fear Factor, watched every episode.

Blind Date started in 1999, replacing Love Connection,
I liked Love Connection with host Chuck Woolery and was bummed when they
replaced it but ended up liking Blind Date more.

Andy Cohen was hosting the new Love Connection, watched it a few months ago. Is that gone now too?

I loved Blind Date, it was funny - there was also a dating game called Buzz! in the 90s. Which one did Jillian Barbieri host? Was that Blind Date?

ETA She hosted a show called Ex-treme Dating. Roger Lodge hosted Blind Date.

They died a merciful death?
