Game Time: Butch Patrick takes a chance on love (The Dating Game, 1972)

 Lidsville was in perpetual rerun when its star, Butch Patrick, appeared on The Dating Game on St. Patrick's Day in 1972. Now, we're 6 days away from Halloween, and host Jim Lange did reference The Munsters as well as Lidsville in his intro. Butch had let his hair grow even more after production had wrapped on Lidsville, as you'll see in game 1.


"The Phantom Tollbooth" was also mentioned. As we already know, this was not the last link with the Kroffts for The Dating Game. HR Pufnstuf also made an appearance around Christmas.
