The Dating Game: an American sensation and a perfect example of casual misogyny, was a show that had three mystery men battle each other with their own words of seduction, in order to gain a date and maybe a bit more. Cheryl Bradshaw was the woman of the episode, and in 1978, managed to weed out a serial killer in the line-up... Rodney Alcala somehow managed to remain undetected as a serial killer. Luckily for Bradshaw, despite choosing Alcala as her choice date, she never went on it and refused to go out with him. Lucky for her (and her woman's intuition)! We're not sure what's crazier, this guy's creepy answers, or the fact a murderer was able to get on a TV show!
