''The Newlywed Game'' is an American television game show that puts newly married couples against each other in a series of revealing question rounds to determine how well the spouses know or do not know each other. The program, originally created by Robert "Nick" Nicholson and E. Roger Muir (credited on-screen as Roger E. Muir) and produced by Chuck Barris, has appeared in many different versions since its 1966 debut. The show became famous for some of the arguments that couples had over incorrect answers in the form of mistaken predictions, and it even led to some divorces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Worst Dating Shows Ever – MSN TV News )〕 Many of ''The Newlywed Game's'' questions dealt with "making whoopee," the euphemism that producers used for sexual intercourse to circumvent network censorship. However, it became such a catchphrase of the show that its original host, Bob Eubanks, continued to use the phrase throughout the show's many runs, even in the 1980s and 1990s episodes and beyond, when he could easily have said "make love" or "have sex" during these periods without censorship. Game Show Network's version of ''The Newlywed Game'' airs reruns throughout the week. Network Bounce TV has acquired the reruns from GSN.〔("The Newlywed Game" ). Bounce TV.

It was the last U.S. commercial network series to premiere in black and white, although it converted to color, as did virtually all other network series that had not already done so, by the end of 1966, just before the prime-time version began. On the day it debuted, CBS pre-empted ''Password'' to cover a news conference held by Robert McNamara, which was delayed a half-hour, with the network "vamping" until he spoke. ABC opted to wait until just as the press conference began, and as a result ''The Newlywed Game'' was able to get a slight head start in the head-to-head ratings battle with the long-running ''Password.'' Over the next few months more and more viewers were tuning into ''The Newlywed Game'' and it became a hit, while ''Password's'' ratings began to fall and eventually led to the series' cancellation fourteen months later. On December 20, 1974, ''The Newlywed Game'' concluded its run after nearly eight and a half years on the network. It was the longest running game show in ABC daytime history until 1985, when ''Family Feud'' surpassed it. A special week-long series for Valentine's Day aired on ABC in February 1984 and was the last time the show aired on a broadcast network. The set for the week of specials would later be used for Bob Eubanks's return to ''The New Newlywed Game'' in syndication a year later. Up until the GSN series' 2009 premiere, all subsequent editions of ''The Newlywed Game'' were seen in syndication. The first production aired from 1977 until 1980. The second, which was referred to as ''The New Newlywed Game'' for the first three and a half years of its run, aired from 1985 until 1989. The last and most recent syndicated ''Newlywed Game'' aired new episodes from 1996 until 1999, continued in reruns for an additional season, and was sold to stations as part of an hour-long block with a revival of ''The Dating Game.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Newlywed Game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
