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.

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.

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.

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.

[@robertgutierrez7983]

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.

To everyone commenting about the HALLELUJAH TRAIL at the end, you can all blame me for that.

All my films were stolen. It's good to see this episode again. I wonder what happened to the rest of them....

[@PongoXBongo]

OMG, you mean the original prints were stolen? What modern day, home-invading crackhead knows the value of old film reels?

[@jimliftin1552]

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).
