The Newleywed Game hosted by Bob Eubanks. A show I grew up with and absolutely loved watching on television.

 

One of my all time favorite television shows that I had grew

up watching, was the original "Newleywed Game", hosted

by Bob Eubanks.

 

I was born in 1962, and the show itself, made it's debut

in the year of 1966. Although I was too young to actually

understand the show when I was a kid during the 1960's,

I vaguely remember watching the original daytime

Newleywed  Game with my Mother and Grandmother,

and all having a good laugh together in the living room.

 

The Newleywed Game was a fun, interactive, live game

show , where sometimes funny or sometimes embarrassing

things would happen on air, with the newly married couples

that were contestants on this game show.

 

I would watch the later versions of this show, hosted by

Bob Eubanks, during the 1970's and 80's, and would

still always enjoy a good laugh.

 

I have been married ten years now, and If my wife Cheryl

and I would have appeared on that show...who knows?

I might have got smacked in the head with the answer card. L.O.L!

 

I have a wonderful wife, and happy memories of growing

up watching the original Newleywed Game show too.
