Blind Date (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Blind Date was a United States reality show. It was first broadcast on first-run television syndication in 1999 and was distributed by Universal Worldwide Television. It was later distributed by NBC-Universal. Its reruns have subsequently been shown on Spike TV and the Fox Reality Channel. It has also been distributed overseas in many foreign markets and selected episodes have also been released to DVD in Region 1.

During each episode, people who did not know each other were paired up and sent off on a blind date. The cameras followed their every move, while commentary in the form of subtitles, animations, and "thought bubbles" was added by the show's producers. The show was hosted by Roger Lodge.

On August 11, 2006, NBC Universal announced that the show would not be renewed for the 2006-2007 season due to low ratings.. NBC Universal provided repeats from its seven seasons to air during the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons.

The dates were sometimes unsuccessful. Certain especially disastrous pairings were described as "Dates from Hell" and the show frequently concluded with an excerpt from the show's "Hall of Shame." Blind Date occasionally matched up people older than the usual under-30 age group.
