(24:12) 💁‍♀️Check out the Betty White 'Fantastik' commercial. I love seeing old commercials ... you often spot actors before they made it big or see big actors in their early years.😉

I love the look on Henry's face when his wife revealed that he wears a hairpice.

Priceless!

[@edieleonemstambo670]

Yeah, I bet they are divorced... typical And the Military guy was a NARACIST jerk too

He looked like he was going to hit her! I wonder if they stayed married?

He look ed at his watch ; with his fingers stating 5 ....minutes .... and his fist pow ... ! They were such a lovely couple. Hope They are still together today ♥️♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇬🇧

I’m so glad they won, what a cute couple , hopefully they remained married Couple number one was darling too!!! Her husband was hilarious!

I actually find the “You can always expect the unexpected on The Newlywed Game” better than “Here come the Newlyweds”.

[@MrMenefrego1]

This show was so much fun! We rarely missed it back in the 1960s. What happened at the end there, I thought I was on an LSD trip! 😜

[@anthonystarguitar6710]

it started with the black guy's hair piece, then the next guy's foot fetish, then the next guy's reaction. By far the funniest episode I can remember

[@kathyh4804]

The guys laughing about the foot fetish was hilarious!

I was 12 years old in 1968. People were thin, TV was better and life was good

[@gramethyst2920]

I'm sure it was, if you were male, white and middle class. For the rest of us, maybe not so great. Though food portions were definitely a lot smaller, I remember my mom cutting a candy bar into little slices for my sister and I. We thought it was such a treat, and never thought about each getting only a half. Edit: I was 10 years old in 1968

MeTV needs at least the 70s version of the Newlywed Game, or even better the 60s. The late 90s on Buzzr, IMO, just doesn’t cut it.

I love the fourth couple. They keeping it real. Couple one is too cute.

ABC Primetime Air Date: Saturday September 21, 1968

[@JJJBRICE]

I waited on Mr. Eubanks and his late wife years ago . What a cool guy ! TNG was a harder game to host because of its unpredictable answers and responses. Eubanks had to be very adept in going for the laughs or keeping the game moving . Not a strainght game show like some popular game shows of today but reminiscent of the Groucho Marx , half game half comedy type show .

[@pchristmas7844]

Aww, Henry says,”I try to”

Omg look what I found this was my favorite show in the 80’s and now I find this one that aired on the year I was born 1968 with commercials and everything what a gem thanks for this 😊

[@maryc8121]

Hilarious episode!😂😂

[@gumwrapper7042]

Whenever I watch old episodes of the NG, I can't help wondering three things: Are any of them dead (probably) 2. How many of them are still married? 3. Do the winners still have the grand prize? My husband and I played NG at a family function. We had been marred about 30 years and did terribly. I read a previous comment about a girl's inlaws being on the show. I don't know any couple who was on the NG, but the receptionist/secretary at the cosmetology school I attended had been on The Dating Game many, many years ago.

[@darrylh1971]

6:16 - Does that sound like Wink Martindale doing a voiceover for Raleigh/BelAir cigarettes?

[@martinfelsenfeld6012]

That was one of the last “Brought To You By” (B2UB) callouts in the history of game show openings. Money kept them from continuing with this habit so by 1970 it was believed to be the announcer telling us what the show’s name was, then directly moving on to introducing the host. Cigarette commercials would be dropped in 1971. Now you tube does the commercial breaks first on many songs or shows!

[@meyerj75]

[@e_hwhite6480]

I didn’t realize the Newlywed Game went back this far.

[@TheWOCArchive]

Chuck Barris was working for the CIA in the 60s, so it makes sense that the shows were happening then as a cover.

[@kevinfitzmaurice4072]

Perhaps you're being tongue-in-cheek, but Barris was never in the CIA; all that was just a product of his fertile imagination. The original daytime "Newlywed Game" aired on ABC from 1966-1974; the prime time version, which this show is from, was on ABC from 1967 to 1971. It aired on Saturday nights with "The Dating Game" during most of its evening run.

[@everettwhite9874]

@@kevinfitzmaurice4072 Yes, I’ve heard those rumors about Barris and the CIA. When the Newlywed Game first aired I was a kid and I was more interested in my ABC’s rather than CIA’s. Lol 👍🏽
