Racy for its time

I never realized as a kid that I was watching reruns. The game was too adult for me, but I liked two things:

1.) When the husbands got hit with the oversize cards

2.) When the host said "whoopy." I had no idea what whoopy meant but it sounded funny.

Looking back at the game through adult eyes, it was racy for its time. I can't say that I'm sad it's off the air.

Trivia
The night of "The Newlywed Game" scheduled premiere, July 11, 1966, TV networks CBS and NBC aired US Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. ABC, chose to air the premiere of "The Newlywed Game" instead and most of America's viewers chose to watch it instead and the premiere had ratings to rival the Superbowl. ABC, which up until the time had been struggling badly in the ratings and profitability, was greatly improved with the success of "The Newlywed Game".
