I was 12 years old in 1968 and can remember a lot of these episodes. How times have changed. That is why I am so grateful to TH-cam for airing these shows just so I can relive some of those wonderful times in my life.
The good old days when commercial breaks were 1 minute and 2 minutes and you had 24 to 26 minutes of the half-hour program that you were watching. How times have changed. This is a perfect example of how great network television was back when I was a kid; shows that the whole family could enjoy! Thank you!!!
I'll bet Bob Ubanks was thanking his lucky stars he had such an awesome job; he looked like he was having more fun than anyone! The '60s was a wonderful decade for me, of course, there were problems, but for me, it was an awesome time. Oh, how I miss those days!
The 25 people that gave this gem a thumbs down must have been some of the losers on The Newlywed Game and got divorces shortly after their appearance on the show!
@@infonation9453 ..And forget all the Lawyer commercials after the medical ones, so you can sue the pharmaceutical companies for making you sick for taking the pills.
I was an aficionado of many of the classic game shows from the late '60s through the '70s. They had consistency, class and many had great memorable theme music (Concentration, The Hollywood Squares, Jeopardy!, Eye Guess, Who What Where Game, Let's Make a Deal, Newlywed Game, Dating Game, Match Game [particularly the '60s version]). But seeing the contestants here does lead me to note that The Newlywed Game and The Hollywood Squares are the only ones on which I can recall seeing black contestants regularly.
I watched this game as a child during summers...no school. That console style TV that couple won were popular all during the 1980's, too. My parents had that style until 1992. It accepted Basic Cable after 1980, but the cable box had a turn dial to change channels manually.They had good speaker sound, and the screen size was usually 25" or 26". Seems small now, but back in the older days we didn't know any different. LOL.
So much better. I'm sad to be alive during these times. My family have all passed and I was forced to retire due to health issues. I'm really done and ready to leave.😓😓😓
I love number 4 . They're so funny and not trying to be. The expression and comment are so funny. I wonder if they stayed together, hope so. Hope they all did.
Tebibit of Info.The Newlywed Game first aired on ABC television network on July 11, 1966. It was the last U.S. commercial network series to premiere in black & white, although it converted to color, as did virtually all other network series that had not already done so by the end of 1966.
These B&W kinescopes copies were made for the advertisement agencies to confirm their ads ran without any problems or interruptions. Since 2-inch quadraplex tape was over $200/reel ($1400 w/inflation) and a tape machine costing $45,000 ($300,000 w/inflation), it was much cheaper to make a quick B&W film of the video, and have an ad agency intern take a portable school projector home and watch endless hours of programming, and write down all the ads that were properly presented. Any ads that were messed up was spliced off the film and sent to the network with a "make good" request (make good = repeat the ad on a future episode for free). Originally, ads were played back individually by the Master Control operator, but by this time, they were spliced onto the air tape and played back without any switching needing to be done. Eventually in a year or two, an archive service came online with a very slow speed video tape recorder (at a much cheaper price than generating kinescopes) that burned in a network ID, date and time, and that was used for "make good verification" of ads.
I remember our first color TV- the delivery man put on cartoons- also when Wizard of Oz was on and mom tried to get the color to work- first part was in Black and white.
I loved those old televisions! The ones that looked like a piece of furniture! I had mine until 15 years ago..something broke and we couldn't find a repairman that was able to fix it!
I like the men's hair better than the women's beehives. The women's high hairpieces are charming since you could tell they all wanted to look nice. Never liked the late 60's clothes, though
Man oh man! From Andy Warhol to Snoopy and the Red Baron, to everything late 60s-70s, that midway of show promo music hits it (and me) right smack dab in the middle of my memory banks The bright, carefree lilt of the kitschy music almost flows the kilts the girls wore, and the Aigner-signed cordovan penny or tassel loafers the girls wore too..Wow! That whole bag and schlemiel bit came back crystal clear. Early in puberty, and the Herb Alpert-esque modulating MUZAK, could it get any niftier gang??? What a BLAST! It almost make one believe in make believe. Did you get that Santa?
Many years ago I served Bob Eubanks and his late wife in a restaurant . What a cool guy ! I often wonder if a lot of these new couples had long marriages ?
I remember because my mother and I watched the newlywed game religiously, it aired in Hawaii about 30 minutes after I got home from school. I remember this episode because my mother wrote down one of cleaning stuff from the commercials. She did do it often, but she did with this episode.
Gratitude for sharing this,i`m ill right now & watching these older shows i remember is doing wonders for me right now because i`m truly enjoying taking a look back,love the old time commercials as well,they`re not as today`s which are "filled to the brim" with sexual content,no,these commercials were different,they were magical,funny & sometimes strange yet we knew what the product was & the people selling it didn`t need "nakedness" to sell their products as is done today! (That Kevin guy is strange)
Hi Melodycat918, My parents were on the show in either August or September 1966. I would love to get a copy or clip, as they are celebrating their 53rd wedding anniversary and he has pancreatic Cancer. I would SOOOOO appreciate any tips!
I was age 9 then! I always liked this game during my childhood and teen years. Makes ya wonder if the couples are still married, and how old they are now days. Probably close to 70, if not over.
Originally seen in the summer of 1968, as the "Vanish"/"Whistle" minute "combo" ad was also seen on a concurrent episode of "THE BABY GAME"....and the "Zesta" saltine ad mentions its resealable package as "summer-proof saltine".
TWG was a hard game to control with the responses between the couples during the questions . Eubanks had to be adept at both keeping the game going and extending the jokes .
We , Hoyt and Susie Tidwell were on the Newlywed game December 1968. It was filmed in November 1968 and aired as their Christmas show December 14, 1968. (I think) I have searched everywhere for a copy of the show but I can not find it. Surely someone out there has a copy of it.
Hi Kim or anyone else, my parents were on the show in either August or September 1966. I would love to get a copy or clip, as they are celebrating their 53rd wedding anniversary and he has pancreatic Cancer. I would SOOOOO appreciate any tips!
To everyone commenting about the HALLELUJAH TRAIL at the end, you can all blame me for that. I had the original 16mm print of this as well as several other NEWLYWED GAME shows, and I also had several B/W movie trailers, and to sort of leave my personal mark the prints as mine, I spliced the trailers at the end of every episode. All my films were stolen. It's good to see this episode again. I wonder what happened to the rest of them....
It wasn't stolen that way. It was stolen from me by a very devious man who owned a vinyl/VHS/16mm store, pretended to be my friend after speaking to me on the phone for a few months, telling me his girlfriend was abusive and controlling, telling me someone was stealing from HIM, felt I was trustworthy, and wanted me to work for him to eventually become partners and share the benefits 50-50. It's a long story of what happened, but I learned after 2 months working for him, he was manipulative, a cheat, a good actor and habitual liar, and he conned me out of everything I had. Every lie he told me was believable until one particular lie just didn't add up AND he made an offer of replacement that NO FRIEND AND FUTURE PARTNER would give. It's taken 20 years to build it all back again (I was able to actually replace some of what I lost to him. Most of my Collection 2.0 I never had before).
I'll agree with that...remember, though...moives stayed in theaters a lot longer then. I think what likely happened is that the kinescope was from somewhere the film was still playing, and the local theater owners bought time in the space after the network feed ended.
The last bastion of the end of privacy and goodwill between couples in regards to "modern" marriage, courtesy of schlockmeister "Chucky" Barris (LOL...I think...). Keep the divorce attorney on speed-dial! By the way, the "stacked" bouffant hairstyles are minor works of pop-fashion art! I'm amazed women of that era practiced that much effort and patience and PAIN (think of the size of the curlers and the hours under the hairdryers at that time and the hairpieces, too boot) to having their hair styled, considering the stringy "angel-hair pasta" heads of today...those ladies are truly to be commended! LOL!
At least one of the ladies spoke of her "fall" which was a hair piece that was attached to their own hair to help make those big hairdo's of the era. Falls were a big thing back then. Not fully wigs but big enough to make your own hair look like you had a lot more of it.
The styling was much easier than you think. My mom had some of those same "falls" which are wigs/wiglets. They were generally pre-curled and stacked high, like the big wig that Couple #1 lady (blonde) is wearing. Today, some women opt for extensions or "clip-on" pieces to gain fulness. Curls are not in style as much, because many women straighten their hair...but like many beauty trends, the curls will be back! :)
They rolled in the pre-selected prizes immediately following the winner announcement. It only took 1/2 minute. Saw this on a documentary about game shows. A few years later they would switch to general, less personal prizes that would be something most couple might enjoy receiving - it was a cheaper/easier to do, I imagine.
The real answer is, each couple was interviewed, by phone, several days before their appearance on the show. The show's producer/s would specifically ask "If you were to win on the show, what grand prize would you be interested in?" and the couple would tell them and that's how the producers and staff would know what to get. The staff would then shop around for the product from a list of pre-selected manufacturers in the L.A. area who would give away the selected item either for free, or at a very discounted price. There was a lot of "leg work" done behind the scenes for each show. They would tape 5 shows in 1 day, usually Monday or Tuesday, and have the rest of the week for getting ready for the next week's show. How do I know all this? My uncle was one of those staff members back in the '60s and '70s who helped get prizes for the show.
@@sergelabonte769 That is such an interesting theory. I was a kid when they aired, and wouldn't have thought that then, but you could be right. The most fun couples are the ones with no filter for answering the questions.
Am I the only one confused by the math in the Anacin commercial? They explicitly state that "4 is the most you should take of the Other brand", and yet also that "it would take _more than 4_ of the Other brand to equal 2 Anacin." Doesn't that mean that everytime you take the recommended 2 Anacin you're actually overdosing?
I wondered about that too, but they mentioned that the main ingredient was the same, so perhaps the "other brand" was dangerous over 4 pills due to a different ingredient? It wouldn't fly by certain standards today.
That 1965 TV trailer was NOT telecast with the 1968 "NEWLYWED GAME"; apparently, someone added it to the reel it was on. Suggested local announcer tag at 29:24- "See 'The Halleleujah Trail', now playing at a theater near you. Consult your local newspaper for theaters and show times...."
The shows back then were thoroughly entertaining from start to finish, and the commercials were actually not annoying. What happened to creativity and class?
This is like the fifth vintage Newlywed Game episode I've found on TH-cam with the original commercials and I am SO loving it. Keep 'em coming please!

It's the same problem with the new match games. It's not funny when every single question/answer is a sex pun.
I agree 👍

The newest version with a guy I've never heard of is unbearable. I tried but what a crap show they turned it into after Bob Eubanks left.
I remember this show. I was in 2nd, grade 7yrs old almost 8, fall of 67, when we lived in Hawaii.
'my husband said we kinda had to cut down' - fantastic. I felt embarrassed for them.
lol... I bet she received anonymous phone calls.
Great to watch during the 2020 COVID-19 PANDEMIC; silly is just what I need right now.

It's how I know that I'm getting old, because when I watch old TV shows from the 60s and 70s, I look at the cars instead of the handsome men lol
I love old classic commercials 👍
Adjusted for inflation, that color TV set would be like winning a giant-screen with theater sound unit today.
Couple #4 seems like the only couple on the show that had fun with each other. I bet all the other couples divorced.
Right? Couple #4 seem like they wouldn't be too out-of-place today.
False, people were not selfish self focused individuals back in those days, they actually put in the effort to make a relationship work

They would tape 5 shows in 1 day, usually Monday or Tuesday, and have the rest of the week for getting ready for the next week's show. How do I know all this? My uncle was one of those staff members back in the '60s and '70s who helped get prizes for the show.
After watching many shows, I truly believe that some of the couples are actors.

That is such an interesting theory. I was a kid when they aired, and wouldn't have thought that then, but you could be right. The most fun couples are the ones with no filter for answering the questions.
It was broadcast in color. This looks to be an air-day film copy.
The first years of the show were broadcast in b&w.
A lot of the master copies of The Newlywed Game were discolored and unsuitable for reairing, which explains why it's in b&w.
They must use a whole can of hairspray to get that volume!
I think this one has been the funniest ones ive seen😂
These adds make me want to watch mad men again 😄
This is from 1968.
Am I the only one confused by the math in the Anacin commercial? They explicitly state that "4 is the most you should take of the Other brand", and yet also that "it would take _more than 4_ of the Other brand to equal 2 Anacin." Doesn't that mean that everytime you take the recommended 2 Anacin you're actually overdosing?
I wondered about that too, but they mentioned that the main ingredient was the same, so perhaps the "other brand" was dangerous over 4 pills due to a different ingredient? It wouldn't fly by certain standards today.
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.
DAMN....I was rooting for Couple #4
That 1965 TV trailer was NOT telecast with the 1968 "NEWLYWED GAME"; apparently, someone added it to the reel it was on. Suggested local announcer tag at 29:24- "See 'The Halleleujah Trail', now playing at a theater near you. Consult your local newspaper for theaters and show times...."
It was probably some people at the local ABC affiliate this kinescope was delivered to 😂
How about that glorious classic Jazz organ trio interlude at Grand Prize time? Good taste never goes out of style!
The shows back then were thoroughly entertaining from start to finish, and the commercials were actually not annoying. What happened to creativity and class?
I agree. I wasn't alive then but I'm sold on Anacin tablets. I think it was the calming voice and no BS commercial.

I wonder why so many headaches back then- knock on wood I don't get headaches.
If the winners get to watch TV in colour why aren't we 50 years later 😄
