It’s very interesting to see my sister’s love connection video get so much activity after all these years. I had friends tell me they watched her video when it aired late night syndication and now via TH-cam. FYI to all the commenters, she did not have a long relationship with Micheal. She met and married a great guy from Pasedena, CA.
"Seem like 2 nice shy people having a fun time! I like how they both did something they never tried, Para-sailing! It gave them something in common and experience together!"
This was dating back in the 80s. People dressed appropriately and were polite and kind to one another. People had self-respect and respect for others back then.
People talked to each other back then and did not stare at their phones. I saw a young couple walking down the street yesterday, the girl could be seen talking and staring at the guy and the baby as they held hands ( I was at a red light). The guy was just nodding ( bobbin his head up & down at his cell phone the entire time) 😲😱😕
Chuck Woolery a guy I felt very bad svd sorry for him he lost his son in a horrible motorcycle accident poor Chad it's every parents worst nightmare when the parents outlive their child
During the taping of the shows that I was in the audience for, all the crew went on a 20-minute break. Chuck stood up walked to the edge of the stage area and spent his whole break answering any personal questions that the audience had for him. He seemed a very humble nice person that obviously appreciated the position that he had.
This is one of my favorite episodes. I grew up in Fayetteville as well. I graduated from Pine Forest Sr High. I was living in San Diego from 86 to 98, when this likely aired. Looks like the algorithm steered me right today....I've been on a mini-marathon since the first TH-cam recommendation.. Best wishes to you. Hope you have had a great life up till now. You seem like a sweet person, Petra.
petra is absolutely adorable. loved watching this segment. brings back memories of when I was a kid and I used to watch this show all the time. thanks for uploading!
I grew up dating back then, we wore the nice dresses and the guys the dress pants and dress shirts. I married my hubby back in 1997, we went to HS together, I was 26, he was 28, we’ve been married 21 years as of last April with 2 grown kids. Dating was so different back then, I would NOT want to date now!!!
It's cool that Petra got two appearances on "Love Connection" 💝. Loved the throwback fashions ... re her perm, red dress, ivory stockings & pumps - too cute! 🥰 Chuck reminds me of Elvis - 💋
Me too, I love seeing the hair from back then. Men and women's hairstyles change just like fashion. I also loved blind date, which I've seen on TH-cam but I haven't looked for shipmates, or the fifth wheel. I don't know if you remember those shows?
Remember all the weird colours? Remember L’Eggs? They were fun. Nobody really wears hosiery anymore. I guess they were kind of uncomfortable. And what a pain if you got a run. Sometimes clear nail polish would hold it.
@@mjrussell414 i wore all kinds of colors back in my 20's. Suntan, white, black, navy, and even mushroom. I wore a pair of gross green my Sr year of HS! I still wear hose today. Black or nude are the only colors I wear anymore now.
I agree, when he talked about how his second toe was longer than his big toe, I died. I remember having that conversation a few different times in the early '90s. I always heard that your second toe is supposed to be longer than your first. Mine is not. So I've been self-conscious of that ever since .
@@VioletJoy 😂 I will try to overcome it 😂 violet, haven't we bumped into each other before on youtube? I remember seeing the name Violet but perhaps it wasn't violent joy. Anyway, I hope you're well ️
Wow all I have to do is hear her sultry voice and that would do it for me. One of the best women I've seen on love connection. Just love that personality and that voice the face of a doll.
This was adorable. Petra, your Grandma gave you everything you needed to know! You were beautiful then, and gorgeous in your TH-cam picture! You obviously have great genetics. :)
Mike is adorable! Hope he found love. FYI - most of the nerds, who got no girls in highschool turned out to be high achievers and married well and once. I love happy endings.
Patra came out all dressed proper with the long dress and just blow me away . I'm sitting here in 2017 like why don't women dress like that these days .
Petra reminds me of a cross between Elizabeth Perkins in the movie Big and Kimberly Williams in Father of the Bride. That's marriage material right there
Ahhh NIICE..I Do REMEMBER this One Barely..I Was attending L.A. Valleybat COLLEGE and Then back to UCLA..I Wanna Say this was In 1990..Just Cant Remember what MONTH..I Used to Set the VCR ( Remember those Kids Ahah ) and Would watch it After Work/Homework Every Nite..That Means Petra is 51 NOW..I'm 54😁👌👍✌
Always listen to dating advice from your grandma. She is such a cutie pie - then and now. Geez, there really wasn’t much competition - Micheal was the only nice and normal sounding guy. If a dog really hates you, that’s a bad sign. It’s good to be picky with people you date.
Gen X generally were raised by single parents and had to grow up fast to be independent. Holding jobs while going to college. Stress and anxiety is one of the main factors.
Men and women from the 1980's looked and acted so much older than they really were. I suppose that can be a good thing and a not-so-good thing. But seriously, if they were 21 they looked 32-33, at least.
Oh for sure!! 80s was my time! Petra was my type of girl down to the shoes. Funny thing is I dressed like Michael, but you would have gotten a very handsome Spaniards who was actually a geek inside, and highly confident. Hope Petra and the guy got married.
What a sweet girl. Our girls in the South took great pride in being ladies and marrying well. I have no clue what is happening now. Crazy. GenX and we had it pretty good.
@@TanTanWaWa Funny you should mention pantyhose. I used to wear hose back then like that too. Its what women did! That was the style. I still wear hose today. Not that color though anymore.
I’ve dated my age, and some 15 or so years older and I’ve never been on a date with a man that wore a suit. I watch shows like Sex and the City where Big wore a suit everyday, and I’m like, where are these guys at? Haha
Just found out recently that love connection really wanted to stir up drama, and encouraged contestants to speak badly about each other. They even lied to them in advance and told them their dates were about to say something negative. Kudos to both of them for not falling for this, and being absolutely adorable.
Obviously she got married. I looked up her Facebook and she graduated from University of North Carolina Wilmington. As of this post they are still cleaning up after Hurricane Florence. Praying and giving that she is okay
that Andrea Elson sweet perm hair was so hot it made teenage girl look way older but well i was in love with the girl in ALF so that hair should be back
I loved watching this again I remember when it was the show. My Mom and I loved watching and laughing at most of the creepy men. She had a nice guy. As she should have. As the show matured you could tell towards the end that there was some definite fake story lines. This was when it was still a sweet show.
Wow Petra, you were like the singer Laura Branigan's twin back then! Beautiful! What year is this from? Based on the set it must be between '89 and '94. Did you guys keep going out?
In her eyes what a guy wears is more important than his character! Some women are so picky that, in the words of Glen Campbell: "Nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain."
Your sister, so young here. How old is she now? She seems like such a nice girl and sweet demeanor. Where did she meet her husband? Hope she is doing well.

Wonder how your sister likes to
See this so many years later
That's so cool about your sis! Thanks for sharing!
Lie
@@dickiegreenleaf750 why is it a lie? Petra even pinned his comment so it must be true.
Were on of your parents in the military? Fayetteville is a out 160 miles from where I live in NC.
It's a big military town
Petra is absolutely adorable. The man she chose is so likeable. Very enjoyable.
"Seem like 2 nice shy people having a fun time! I like how they both did something they never tried, Para-sailing! It gave them something in common and experience together!"
young people seemed so much more mature back then
Are you serious?! 🤣🤣
@@jamesprior2496 yes they didn't need safe spaces and were less confused about life facts
Ppl were stupid back then
We were
100%
That theme song I can listen to all day. It puts me in a 80's trance calm time . Unlike today.
life was just beautiful all before 90's
Such a respectable and sweet young lady.
Petra is absolutely adorable, with a cute smile. Such a sweet Aura.
Agreed...She seems so gentle,strong smart🙂
🙄
Chill
They both have winning smiles..They seem like genuine nice people.
That's exactly what I thought! They're both the marrying type. Just all around good people.
This was dating back in the 80s. People dressed appropriately and were polite and kind to one another. People had self-respect and respect for others back then.
We'll see....it's because there were no dating apps to ruin everything. We actually got off our asses and went out and met people lol!
Well the women back then killed the chivalry for us decent women today, its almost like they wanted to be men.
Back then, women weren’t turned on by being choked out. Very different times.
People who appeared on this show said it was staged.
People talked to each other back then and did not stare at their phones.
I saw a young couple walking down the street yesterday, the girl could be seen talking and staring at the guy and the baby as they held hands ( I was at a red light). The guy was just nodding ( bobbin his head up & down at his cell phone the entire time) 😲😱😕

it didn't
Wow she's CLASSY and BEAUTIFUL

Petra seems like a very nice person. They both make a nice couple.
I agree, but she did say she hadn't found any nice looking nerds. Personally, I love nerds!
White pantyhose. I remember wearing those back in my twenties!

She’s a doll!
Chuck is so charming.
80’s swag
Yes he is! He went to the same college I did.
Petra looks like a nice Southern woman. The kind you could take home for Sunday dinner to meet the family.
Petra and Michael had the same smile! I’ve observed a lot of couples and the ones that have the same smile are more apt to make it!!
Cracks me up what we all think we want when we’re in our early 20’s!
I liked that one. It had some suspense to it.
WOW Petra is beautiful! Amazing smile...
The fabulous 80's padded shoulders.
Thanks for the upload, Petra! You were rockin' the Elaine Benes look back then.
:-)
❤Seinfeld! I'm still watching the reruns and laughing even though I know what's going to happen🤣🤣
thanks for the upload. my sisters and I used to love to watch this~ thanks for the happy memories and more innocent and wholesome times! =))
Now this was a perfect match!
She's cute...and as the her profile shows, she is gorgeous today.
Mike is adorable! Hope he found love. FYI - most of the nerds, who got no girls in highschool turned out to be high achievers and married well and once. I love happy endings.

sodear2meee girls don't have class anymore.
sodear2meee Petra is a genuine lady. A prize catch.
sodear2meee Because it’s not the 80’s. I guarantee you Petra doesn’t dress like that anymore.
Ugly dress
Why don't men dress in suits and ties anymore?
Petra reminds me of a cross between Elizabeth Perkins in the movie Big and Kimberly Williams in Father of the Bride. That's marriage material right there
I can see that also. 👍
Now Michael would have been my type back in the day, cute as can be and sweet...
I grew up watching "Love Connection" on KCAL when it was the only TV station in L.A. to run news and game shows all day.
My brother would watch and crack up when they got nasty at each other
Me too!
Back when channel 9 was KHJ-TV. Watched when it debuted in 1983. I was 16

I liked the other two 🙈
"Go through and discard as many people as possible because they're disposable"
all those guys wee 23!? they looked so much older!
Lucas Hoch Michael could pass for his age (or at least mid- late 20s) but yeah the second guy Chris especially looked 35 or 40!
Gen X generally were raised by single parents and had to grow up fast to be independent. Holding jobs while going to college. Stress and anxiety is one of the main factors.
Petra, is this really you? If so, can u please give us an update on your life? We're invested now.... lol :)
Ok guys. Yes I married her, gave her 7 kids and split. Im now with my 2nd wife with 4 more kids. My side girlfriend is pregnant now.
@@savage3114 you wish.
@@savage3114 always a troll no matter the content. Troll on dude!
@@maryadams3357 You know you love me.

Something about her reminds me of Pam from The Office, anyone else see that?

So true. I'm 57 and ppl tell me I look like I'm in my early 40's. Not just me lots of people I know who are older look younger.
They did ACT a lot older back then. People today are shockingly immature.
Oh for sure!! 80s was my time! Petra was my type of girl down to the shoes. Funny thing is I dressed like Michael, but you would have gotten a very handsome Spaniards who was actually a geek inside, and highly confident. Hope Petra and the guy got married.
What a sweet girl.
Our girls in the South took great pride in being ladies and marrying well.
I have no clue what is happening now. Crazy.
GenX and we had it pretty good.
Your outfits are very modest and classy. School teacherish which is great coming from a retired educator 👩🏫.👍
What a different time I miss those days of my youth! Imagine this show in todays world it would be pretty twisted!!?
This was also the year where John Cervenka (not Johnny Gilbert) was the announcer, and would stay on for the entire run.
Petra, you are so pretty! Both in the video and in your profile picture.
Daniel Lewis even in those awful pantyhose we wore back in the day. 😆
Yeah, she's going it going on for sure!!!!
@@TanTanWaWa Funny you should mention pantyhose. I used to wear hose back then like that too. Its what women did! That was the style. I still wear hose today. Not that color though anymore.

If my dog hates you, bye boy.
HAHA, I didn't even notice your Southern accent until he said something. Texan here.
They’re so cute together
She looks like Kristy McNichols
John Cervenka tells you how to make an appearance on "Love Connection," @ 3:25.
Chuck wasn’t kidding about southern sayings/beliefs/old wives tales😆
Just found out recently that love connection really wanted to stir up drama, and encouraged contestants to speak badly about each other. They even lied to them in advance and told them their dates were about to say something negative. Kudos to both of them for not falling for this, and being absolutely adorable.
How disappointing! Would love to hear what went on from some of the contestants from back in the day. Would be so interesting!
That's not very surprising. I will say that the good dates far outnumbered the bad on the show. Probably 3 to 1.
I was going to ask what happened with Petra and him but it doesn't look like she responds to comments here.
She married a nerd and he loves to rub that old comment in! 😂
Obviously she got married. I looked up her Facebook and she graduated from University of North Carolina Wilmington. As of this post they are still cleaning up after Hurricane Florence. Praying and giving that she is okay
I figured they got married... But no response.
Go UNCW Seahawks! Hurricane Floremce hit us really bad but our community and churches pulled together and made it through😊❤
The old shoulder pads 😂😂
Have a hard time controlling himself? Whoa dude.😳
He's cute!! What a cute couple!!!
Mr COMPLAINER!!
Thought she was Blonde!??? Wtf!
Life jackets riding up in our faces!?
Petra BE WIGGIN!!! Hahahaha
But Petra complains a lot too. They fit together.
that Andrea Elson sweet perm hair was so hot it made teenage girl look way older but well i was in love with the girl in ALF so that hair should be back
Hopefully Andrea was not like Lynn was. I remember how nice she was to that nerdy neighbor kid.
Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful, classy, sweet girl.
I used to love this show and always thought Chuck W. was so handsome and kind
Seeing your profile pic, you look exactly like you did
on the show!

There were Asian people on audience yet never on show?
I always wondered what happened to positive connections.
Wow Petra, you were like the singer Laura Branigan's twin back then! Beautiful! What year is this from? Based on the set it must be between '89 and '94. Did you guys keep going out?
It's from 1990, as the copyright says
Looks nothing like Branigan.
You are so right ! She looks just like Laura Branigan !

Dating was so different back then. I long for simpler times likes this. Nowadays it’s like, did ya guys have sex?
refreshing to see young 20 somethings able to articulate w/o having to say "like" every other word
Everybody on this show looks at least 10 to 15 years older than they really are.
Yeah. It’s the hair and clothes. Everyone did. I lived it.
Yes we dressed older than we were. But we were still cute.
Apparently you have never watched Judge Judy where 21-year olds look about 37.
maybe you look older too?
.55 that's a wise lady , grandma u lived your life i am living the way u should done it jaja jaja ja hilarious but wise at the same time
Her pupils were HUGE
Love love love Chuck Woolley❤
i...love...connection...
What year is this episode from?
Why do the audience votes never add to 100% 🤔🤔
