Newly-married couples try to guess how their spouse answered personal questions

Why Newlywed Game might be annoying:

In one famous moment, Bob Eubanks asked a female contestant where the weirdest place she ever made 'whoopee' with her husband was. Her response: in the ass.
Some contestants did not know what the term 'making whoopee' meant, so Bob had to explain it to them.
The couples would sometimes get into heated arguments when their answers did not match.
Some couples have gotten divorced soon after appearing on the show.
Bob Eubanks cried during the last episode of the first version.
The grand prize was usually a few hundred dollar appliance.

Why Newlywed Game might not be annoying:

ABC would not let Bob Eubanks use the phrase 'making love,' so instead he said 'making whoopee' and started a catchphrase.
Many other game shows have ripped off its format.
It ranked #11 on TV Guide's '50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time.'
It was created by Chuck Barris after his success with 'The Dating Game.'
The game was played mostly for laughs.
It aired in 5 different decades.
