Do you all remember this game show? I remember watching it as a child and I loved it. I have watched reruns of it too and think it is too funny. It is amazing how much some of the couples fight when they get an answer wrong! Was anyone here ever a contestant on it or know anyone who was? I would have liked to have known someone that was on it.

Yeah, I remember it - even tried out for it! We'd been married for about a year and went to try out for it...guess we weren't risque as they were looking for! "makin' whoopi" - that stupid saying, drove me nuts, THen for the couples to actually tell the who,what,where,when,why and how's - bit on the weird side!

That is cool that you tried out for it. I bet it was a funny show to be on too. However,I wonder what the families thought about the ones who were on there and they did reveal a little too much information at times.

I used to watch it all the time. Some of the questions were rather hilarious and I remember there were some fights. I was not exactly a kid when I watched it, but I think it is rerun on the game channel we have up here. There are a lot of the old shows like the Gong Show, etc.

I had almost forgotten about the Gong Show. It was funny! I remember some fights on there too.

Hey Carol,I remember this Saturday night tradition at my home when I was a kid as well.The"Dating Game" and "The Newlywed Game" were a riot that the whole family could enjoy together.I just have to wonder what the families of the contestants thought or said when they got home.I'm not sure I would have liked to reveal all those private moments to the general public.Lol

I agree that I am not sure that I would want to air all of that either. I bet it led to a lot of arguments when the couples arrived home.

I like that show a lot too! Old reruns still play on the Gameshow Network. It's cute and funny. I get my husband to play along with me sometimes. It's interesting to see which couple knows each other the best.

It is funny to see how much they don't know about each other too. I wish I could get the Game Show Network.

I remember my parents watching that show a lot. I guess I was too young to really get the humor in it when it was on but now seeing episodes of it I can understand why my parents were laughing. Some of the answers were quite funny and some of the interpretations of the questions made you ask what was that person thinking. I don't really know if they even run those shows any where now but I see clips on the funny video shows.

There were a lot of funny things that happened on that show. I don't believe that it is on anymore,even in reruns.
