The version GSN is airing at the moment is probably my favorite. The 'whoopee' questions never seem to get old and I love the eccentric contestants they had on the show. Is anybody else here a fan of this show? It is my favorite game show, after my beloved Match Game.I absolutely adore Bob Eubanks-he was a very good, funny, and handsome game show host, I thought. He was trying to upstage the contestants. The show definitely jumped the shark in the late 80s incarnation when Eubanks was replaced by Paul Rodriguez who was IMHO one of the worst game show hosts of all-time. Bob Eubanks was the perfect host, playing straight man to four couples. The Newlywed Game continued until Decembefore heading into syndication. The Newlywed Game is the hilarious, long-running game show where unpredictable recently married couples (newlyweds) spill their guts (talk about themselves) in order to win a grand prize or a second honeymoon.
Within several months, The Newlywed Game ended Passowrd's dominance in the 2 PM (EST) timeslot and the show left the air in September 1967. The show debuted on a day when CBS preempted their hit game show Password for a Vietnam War address by then Secretary of State Robert McNamara, causing game show fans to change the channel. I remember the original version of The Newlywed Game.
