I used to watch both The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game when I was a kid, and it wasn't until years later that I realized how filthy both of them were. Both would have all of these double entendres and suggestive questions, and the answers from the contestants were often something you wouldn't even say to a friend in private. Example from The Newlywed Game:

Bob Eubanks: "Where's the weirdest place that you and your husband have made whoopee?"
Woman: "In the a**?"

Now, this wasn't shown on TV until Eubanks showed the clip on an episode of NBC's Most Outrageous Moments a few years ago (the original answer was never shown on TV and the woman was given a chance to give another answer, and another contestant gave a similar answer years earlier), but many of the questions and answers were suggestive in that way.

I wonder if they'll have those type of questions in the new GSN remakes? The cable network is bringing back both shows. Of course, they'll both be updated in this age of computers and microwave ovens. The Dating Game will team up with Match.com to find single people to go on the show, and The Newlywed Game will feature a bonus round where the winning couple goes up against a couple who won on the older version of the show.

This will be the sixth version of The Newlywed Game. Eubanks hosted the original (he also hosted a later revival of the show), and then other versions were hosted by Jim Lange, Paul Rodriguez, and Gary Kroeger. The Newlywed Game was produced by Chuck Barris, and Barris created/produced The Dating Game.
