The "TMI" is what made this show so funny! Bob was more than willing to let contestants give as much detail as the "censors" would allow. Great entertainment!!!
That must have been cool. Being on a game show and then keeping a tape of it and even putting it on you tube later. I was on the news in 1980 as a young 20 year old computer salesman demonstrating a Texas Instruments TI 80 Home computer when they were first becoming a new thing. I got to watch it but never had a copy of it. It was really fun for me at the time. The next day a kid said...HEY, I saw you on TV last night....lol
Loved watching. Hasn't tv changed its morality, can't watch anything with the grandkids anymore unless I watch it first myself, to make sure there are no surprises.
@@drgwenmorse Did you and your husband ever kept in touch with your fellow couple contestants from your particular episode ? I assume that all of the couples sprent time tgether in the green room before the show .
@@JJJBRICE I wish we had...this was filmed before social media, cell phones. It was amazing that my little brother had a beta (VHS) machine and I was able to catch it when it aired. Things sure have changed!

I loved this show and looking back, what a great show. I didn't realize it was kind of racy. I guess when I was little those jokes went over my head. Bob Eubanks, what a host!
This is a February 1980 episode of the American TV show "Newlywed Game" and it's from the 1979 syndicated version. The four couples competing on this episode are Gwen & David, Stevie & Jack, Dawn & Charles and Jenelle & Rod. 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
One of my top three game shows ever! I can watch this show again and again 💗 I would absolutely love a revival of this show with THE MAN Bob Eubanks hosting! He will always be the perfect host of this show! I developed a crush of older women watching this show as a youngster! 💗
Ms Janet I found a Pinterest of toys and items from my childhood. I couldn't stop looking. Do you remember yoyo shoes with the braided straps, gold stretch belts, rainbow shirts, and Maybeline roll on lip gloss? What a wonderful world.
I watched this game during the late 1960's, as a child.I was 19 when this ep was made. Many of the husbands on the 1960's eps were in the military then. I wonder if those couples from 1980 are still married.That one guy looks 16, the one called Charles.
Gosh that would mean that cute little couple is well into their 50s now, my husband's age, and that baby is 40. I love your hair in this. Congrats on still being together after all this time. Makes me wonder out of all those shows how many couples are still together.
Today's "standards"? Half of the English language from 1980 can get you cancelled or put on a no fly list, while perversion is required curriculum starting in K in coastal states.
I liked the original the best, from the 1960s, but I watched this no matter what year it was made. Bob Eubanks sure kept his babyface looks for decades!! Dawn and her husband look about age 16. I was 19 when this episode was new, so some of these people in this ep are probably 65 by now, and grandparents.
I remember this particular ep when new. I have often wondered if the couples of any decade of the Newlywed Game are still married or still living (early 1960s eps), and if I watch old documentaries filmed in the USA I wonder if the background people are still living. The woman on this episode with short and curly blond hair looks like Georgette of the Mary Tyler Moore show, married to Ted Baxter.I always liked this game show.
Hey, they did about 2 or 3 years ago, it was hilarious, it played at an odd hour, 5 -6 am. a black lady Sherri Sheppard, I think hosted it. She is wonderful, very funny. Now she is on " Funny you should Ask " part of the time... 😎🙂😎
No, I graduated from nursing school in 1974 and didn't meet my husband until 1977. At the time, they required that you had to be married less than 2 years.
I thinkDawn had the best hair out of the four beautiful ladies on stage. Gwin, are y’all still married? He still doing that to your toes? And do you still have those pajamas with the drop back drawers lol 🌞🌹 It’s nice to see that romance is dead
Very good question. We were sent to a “soundproof room” which was a closet with old mattresses up against the wall. The magic of Hollywood was very disappointing. Thanks for asking!
The 1977-80 syndicated version was taped at KTLA in Los Angeles and, later, at the "Chuck Barris Stages" at Ren-Mar studios in Hollywood. Same for "The Dating Game."
Hi Mark, Haven't thought about this in quite some time. I remember watching the show and calling the number they posted for those interested. I believe it was a few months later and we went down to the studio and they had over 4K people. We were asked one question and they wanted to gauge how we responded. We assumed they weren't interested and then we got a call a few months later asking us to come for a taping. It was fascinating seeing all the people that were trying out for the show. So many of the couples seemed "similar". For example, the motorcycle wife and husband, the hippy couple and then oddball Dave and me! We were stunned that they called.
@@kambreesuncle2So we disagree, Big whoop! Steve is hilarious. The show concept is excellent. Our cultures level of impolite comments and behaviour bring everything out in the open with no filters. The earlier shows gave us a view of innocence not present today. Families from around the country exaggerate the difference. Go troll someone else. May the snark be with you at your next family gathering and spill hot sarcasm in your deflated lap.
@@kambreesuncle2 I so agree with you.Steve Harvey is asking too much money.The production company says he is too expensive to keep.If he does return, he'll have to take a pay cut.

I used to watch it back then and the gifts were awesome, now I the gifts seem old fashioned compared to today’s technology
What gifts? I thought they were prizes.
Bob was a great host for this show I love the show
I wish there was a celebrity one,with Bob and his wife,as one of the couples.I’d love to hear how Bob answered the questions.
A waterproof piano!That made me smile.
I LOVE THE OLD NEWLYWED GAME FROM THE EARLY 70S AND 80S CHRIS HOCH
Charles was a cutie pie! I loved this show!!! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing, Gwen. Love those fresh faced innocent times.

Yea!thx u for sharing - the fabric was very vibrant!! And your personality!!!
I like those times..really I do🌺♥️
I love this show so much.

I loved this version of the show. Even with Bob’s condescending attitude. Everyone was great in this episode (especially Gwen). Thanks for posting 😊
He was really a douchebag.
@@TheBandit7613 he could be douchey
I forgot how funny this show really was!!!!!! Some of these couples can be SSSSSOOOOO nasty and give TMI with their answers!!!!!!! WOW!!!!
Sweet ..loved the show! Thanks for sharing! You are lovely also! I bet you still are ! Inside and out, I would imagine also! Nice dress you made too!

this is a great episode on many levels.
I like O.J. as the driver/model for the Hertz get-away... I mean rental car!! Lol!
I saw that
making memories that last a lifetime, cool!
The best game show ever
I loved it then and I still love it today!!!
Me too.
And I totally agree!! I love watching these and would be so tickled if they would bring it back on.

Bob Eubanks is 81 years old now, might not be up to hosting a game show.
@@acricucci9760 I've seen him on TV..and good old Bob still looks very much up to hosting a game show. He looked great!!
@@acricucci9760 Did you know that Bob is a certified cowboy in Ventura County, California?
This show didn't vary the gifts that much. I watched many of these clips and the pool table and piano are very popular.
In my 74 years, The Newlywed Game has to be the funniest most uplifting game show I've ever watched!
Has 1980 really been 40 yrs now? Wow I had just turned 13. I wanna go back
I turned 14, me too!
Ms Janet I found a Pinterest of toys and items from my childhood. I couldn't stop looking. Do you remember yoyo shoes with the braided straps, gold stretch belts, rainbow shirts, and Maybeline roll on lip gloss? What a wonderful world.
I was 4 in 1980!!
My kids are now 42 40 37 and I watched then
That french guy in the brown jacket looks and sounds like he's about 16 years old.
Good thing his gorgeous wife like youngens I guess !

Hi Michelle, Yes, the young couple that won the game shared with my husband and I that they were 16 and 17 and had a baby. They were so cute!

@@drgwenmorseDo you remember how long that Young Couple have been together?
1980 - two years before I met my wife. 4 years later, we were married.
I don’t like how Bob acted in this one. Thanks for posting it.
He's always been an a hole
That's my piano! I still have it today! Lol
8:53 That sounds like a question right out of 2020
Omg, the commercial sponsors, OJ Simpson for Hertz(I bet that hurts now), Jovan is still my favorite fragrance!
I noticed Simpson in the hertz commercial also, who woulda figured he would become a murderer and thief later in life

What gets beeped out at 2:00 ? What did he say?.
"crotchless panties" :)
Crotchless underwear.
If toe kissing means the world is falling apart I’d hate Bob to see 2023.
And he still alive
You were so pretty in 1980
that hippie couple is so cute
Are you sure this was in 1980? Because It sure the hell looked like 1974. William s
No, I graduated from nursing school in 1974 and didn't meet my husband until 1977. At the time, they required that you had to be married less than 2 years.
12:17 - I wonder if this was how Cyndi Lauper to kickstart her career within years!
Yea thatpeeping tom question is to creepy
Bob was the Steve Harvey of the day.
Oh boy, an iron!
Another piano and mopeds again!
I wish that we could hear the bleeped out answers & comments
They bleeped out "suck/sucked" for sure. One of the husband's said he sucked his wife's toes
Is that OJ in the Hertz rental car? He should have stayed in the rental cars!
Exactly
"At the end of the game you could win a prize selected just for you, and if you choose you can share it with your wife."
I was wondering if he had really said that, guess so!
You & David are so cute together in front of your hands & nose!
Wonder if any of these couples are still married???
@@DrMorse-mm7um Excellent and my best to you both.
The lady from Number 4 looks like Nicole Kidman
Anyone notice OJ Simpson in the Hertz rental car ad?
Gwen, another question...after Bob says goodbye at the end of the show, they never show him on camera. Did he go offstage off camera?
I don't recall..I do remember the soundproof room was a closet with mattresses around the walls.

Piano 🎹 ?
Yeah, like anyone in their right mind will say “yes! I am a peeping Tom!” What a stupid,f...ing question!
Dawn is purrty
It isn’t brand new or quality crafted. Why? Because someone already used it.....
Have you played peeping tom?? They trying to pull up a charge on these dudes?? What kind of question is that?!
I thought that was bizarre!
A really weird one
At this point the show was in the dumper so they were trying to spice it up a bit
Did you have any further contact with the other couples?
It's a wonder that anyone gets married.
Do you remember how long it took before you & David got chosen to go on the Show?

I’m just trying to figure out the one contestant that is going to say he is a peeping Tom in his neighborhood? Some of these questions are crazy!

No, but I would love to!
I would have gladly sampled some of wife #3's 'Lasagna'....:>)

0:30: I wonder if it is Johnny Jacob's hand that gives Bob the microphone in the opening...
Never noticed this before and I bet it is Johnny!
He made a cameo appearance on an episode of Treasure Hunt.
According to former Chuck Barris staffer David Greenfield, a stage hand gave the microphone to Eubanks. Jacobs was in an announcers' booth.
Did you/your husband do any other game shows?
No, we never did. I am so lucky that I was able to take this show (borrowed a beta machine--prior to VHS) the night it aired in April, 1980.
These early Match Game and Dating Game shows were the best. Remakes today are unwatchable except Family Feud with Steve Harvey.
