[flamingdem]

The former Governor of Michigan's appearance on the Dating Game in 1978. Ms. Granholm was 19 years of age at the time.

1. ZOMG

That is the most amazing thing I've seen in a loooooong time...

Dig the krazy late 70's styles, I remember them well. Aiiieeeee. But Jenny was HAWT, there's no ignoring it. And the brightness showed through way back when she was 19 (oh my nerves)

Thanks so much for posting this. What fun! Sure glad she got the hair modernized later. I voted for her twice, wish I could again.

I knew it was going to be number 2. Has anybody seen the Cheech&Chong takeoff on the dating game? One of the funniest things I have ever seen. No kidding.

With all due respect to Joy Behar, I'm bummed that Current moved Jenny's show back an hour. I think she's great.

2. Since you brought up takes on the Dating Game....Harlan Ellison appeared

on the Dating Game and wrote about in his book "The Glass Teat". Pretty funny.

[navarth]

3. wow. Harlan Ellison???

dayum. that would be something to see

[hifiguy]

4. I believe Harlan told everyone to go take a sunbath

in a cyclotron at some point if I remember the essay clearly.

Gotta love Harlan.

And Ms. Granholm was sah-MO-kin hot back in the day. She was still hot when I knew her in law school. She was the editor in chief of the journal I worked on as a first year. Very nice, too.

[navarth]

5. oh indeed? which school was this?

was it in Le Canada?

(edit because I temporarily forgot how to spell Canada...apologies)

[hifiguy]

6. Harvard Law.

She was a good person to work for - demanding but very nice.

9. Is that why they never aired that episode.

It's been a while since I read "The Glass Teat." It's a classic.

Yeah Jen Grandholm is still smokin hot for her age.

And Harlan is still Harlan.

Some things just never change.

[hifiguy]

10. Yeah. Harlan pretty much burned down the building

and stalked out as I remember his account of it. So that gem didn't make it to the teevee machine.

I used to manage an SF bookstore. The owner was a friend of Harlan's and he came in for signings a couple of times. He is not someone you mouth off to or let catch you napping. If he decides you're smart (I was lucky and he decided I was) he's a very engaging and entertaining man. But he is one of the last people in the world I would want pissed off at me.

[RoccoR5955]

13. He sounds a lot like me in that matter.

I have had a run in with him on his little BBS that someone runs for him. He gets on now and again, and a few gems spew out, but not a lot. No substitute for meeting someone in person. And he's one person who if I met in person, I might piss off, but I would do it as a person, in person just to make him think about what I said to piss him off.
