I miss those series from the early 2000s such as Blind Date...they were hilarious..now there's just the Bachelor which can be a little drawn-out & boring at times.

I went into labor watching Blind Date. That was in 2000. I think it disappeared not that long after. We didn't have cable back then so our choices were very limited but we religiously watched that show. I have fond memories of it only for that reason.

I think there was also one called Third Wheel or something like that. I liked that one. I think they were like on a bus. Also that one that came on MTV where they would search the room of the potential boyfriend/girlfriend and select a partner strictly on what they found in their room. Loved that one!

Edit: It was called The Fifth Wheel and Room Raiders

Those shows always cracked me up.

There was another similar show - the 5th Wheel, I think. It was hosted by the actress/comedienne Aisha Tyler. She cracked me up how she would rag on the daters.

I swear, my taste in TV shows is so lowbrow sometimes. LOL.

As for Blind Date - looks like it went out of syndication in 2006. Blind Date (U.S. TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maybe that wasn't the show we watched. It was on every weeknight in 2000. Who knows. We were pretty limited in our choices back then. I know that once we came home with the baby we didn't watch much tv, anyway.

I went out(once!) with a guy that later turned up on Blind Date. I had never seen the show before, was just flipping through the channels, and saw the guy. I called a friend who had met him, and we were thoroughly enjoyed snarking on him while watching. He was hot, but watching his date reminded me why I had declined a second date.
