That was a fun show. I liked it when they’d hide a celebrity as one of the ‘dates.’ :)

Lucky fella. His wife Nancy was a Miss Michigan in the 60’s. Hot babe. Long marriage. It’s all you can ask for.

His greatest triumph,it would appear,was the “Dating Game Murderer” episode.IIRC the woman that won the date with that psychopath refused to go out with him because she came to suspect that he was a creep.Smart girl!

A man on the bleeding, cutting edge of societal decay.

Nevertheless, RIP.

Ironic. I think of this guy every time I pull out my Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' Album, Whipped Cream and Other Delights. I listen to it several times a year. RIP Mr. Lange, you made us laugh, often.

As I understand it, at the time of his appearance on the show, he had already killed at least a couple of times. You are correct about the lady refusing to go out with him because he was just too creepy.
