The Newleywed Game - Special Gay Edition Coming to Los Angeles

 


The Newlywed Game, which originally ran on ABC from 1966 to 1974 has always been groundbreaking… the show was one of the first to feature African American couples on with white couples starting in their first season, and helped break down the color barriers on daytime television,  And was one of the first shows to really talk about sex… with “making whoopee”, the euphemism that producers used for sexual intercourse in order to get around the 1960’s network censors.

 

Now the Game Show Network, in updated version of this venerable favorite, currently being produced by Michael Davies (”Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”) and his production company, Embassy Row, is planning to break ground again and this time feature same-sex couples whose marriages are legally recognized by their state as contestants…
