Blind Date (also known as Your Big Moment) is an American television game show which aired on ABC, NBC, and then DuMont after many years on radio.
Broadcast history
Blind Date originally aired on ABC from May 5, 1949 to September 20, 1951, moved to NBC from June 7 to July 15, 1952, then ran on DuMont from May 19 to September 15, 1953. The ABC version aired Thursdays at 8:30pm EST during the 1949-50 TV season, and Thursdays at 9:30pm EST during the 1950-51 season.
Arlene Francis was the host of the ABC and NBC versions, and had hosted the radio version since 1943. Melvyn Douglas became host when the show moved to DuMont, but was replaced after the third show by Jan Murray.
Episode status
One episode with Francis from 1950 is held among collectors, while the August 25, 1953 show with Murray is held by the Paley Center for Media.
A blind date is a social engagement between two people who have not previously met, usually arranged by a mutual acquaintance.
Structure
A blind date is arranged for by a mutual acquaintance of both participants, whether that person be a friend of both persons or a family member of one.
The two persons who take part in the blind date have never met or seen each other, thus the name blind date.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of the person who arranges the date to ensure that they are a good match.
Sometimes one person is more interested in the match than the other, which may make it more difficult on the person arranging the date to judge whether the date will be successful.
The date is usually two hours or less, as it is just a first date and is really meant to introduce the two people more than it is meant to create a marriage.
Furthermore, due to the unfamiliarity of the two people the date is shorter than most because they are in the beginning stages of a relationship.
The date is also very adventurous in the way that neither party knows what to expect and whether or not they will hit it off. The location of the date is also affected by the spontaneity in that it is often a neutral and public place so that both parties feel comfortable.

Tomato and Egg on Fried Bread:
4 Tomatoes
2 Thick Slices of Bread
2 Eggs
2 or 3 ozs. Beef Dripping

Method:
Stalk, wipe and halve the tomatoes. Fry them gently till they are tender, in half an ounce of dripping. Melt the remainder of the dripping in another pan. Add the bread and fry it slowly until it is beginning to brown, turning it over once or twice. When the bread is ready, lift it on to a hot dish and top it with the fried tomatoes. Sprinkle these with pepper and salt and keep the tomatoes on toast warm, while the eggs are frying. Then top each tomato toast with a fried egg.
For a change, the fried egg can be served on the fried bread without the tomatoes; or the fried tomatoes can be served alone on the fried bread.
Griddle Cakes:
1 1/4 cups sifted enriched flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons salad oil or melted shortening or bacon fat
Sift flour with baking powder, sugar, and salt. Combine egg, milk, and shortening. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just till flour is moistened. Batter will be lumpy. Bake on ungreased griddle.
When underside of griddle cakes are nicely browned, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of washed and drained blueberries over each cake. Turn and brown. Makes 6 to 8 cakes.
Baked Apples:
Select large, good quality baking apples. Wash; remove core. Place in baking pan. In centre of each apple, place 1 to 2 tablespoons brown or granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon butter.
Pour 1 cup water around apples and bake uncovered in moderate oven (375 F / 190 C) for 45 - 60 minutes or until tender. Baste apples several times while they are baking.
Apple centres may be filled with chopped dates, raisins, mincemeat, or cranberries.
Fritter Batter:
1 1/3 cups sifted enriched flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
1 well-beaten egg
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper if desired. Blend milk and egg; add gradually to dry ingredients. Stir in desired fruit, vegetable, or meat. Drop from tablespoon into deep, hot fat (365 - 375 F / 185 - 190 C) Fry 2 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Use 1 1/2 cups drained; whole kernel corn. Serve fritters with maple syrup.
(I served my corn fritters with avocado and kewpie mayonnaise)
Crispy-crumb Eggs:
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
5 well-beaten eggs
Fry bacon till crisp; remove bacon.
