Now THIS is great reality TV

Blind Date!!
I was scrolling through The Frisky when I was reminded how much I enjoyed this show when it was aired regularly. Bring it back CW!! Wasn't CW formerly UPN?
Anways, for all of you tweens who have no idea what TV was like in the 90's, the title of the show pretty much sums it up. Two strangers are arranged to go on a blind date (get it?!) and spend what seems like an entire day together (unless one of them really can't stand the other & dips early) doing activities, talking & learning about each other (sometimes) that leads to many awkward moments. They are then given lots of alcohol which REALLY brings out their true personalities and at the end of the date they either exchange phone numbers or emails (not webpages) or go home with each other. The best part is the little pop up bubbles with comments.
Anyways, this episode is great. You must watch it... or I want my friendship bracelet back.



First clue that this is a 90's show: his COUCH. Check out that baby. I think we all knew someone with a couch like that back in the days, wood grain on straight uncomfortable fluffy heaven.
My favorite awkward moment is how he gets really quiet when she asks him why he doesn't drive. Then she asks him about how many interesting" car accidents he's been in... WTH, who says that while driving someone around? I'm surprised he didn't ask her to pull over. Wait, why did the producers of the show even give her a set of keys???
It's probably pretty obvious by their first outing that he is going no where with her. If this guy is way too weird for even THIS woman, he's got to be a serial killer by now.
