The Newlywed Game was a staple of television on and off for 34 years, finally going off the air in 2000. After bouncing around the idea of a revival for awhile now, GSN is officially moving forward with their remake of The Newlywed Game, shooting for a spring launch. They admit that things will have to be revamped a bit as far as how they approach the couples with the questions because times and marriages have changed.

One of the biggest changes is that they're going to go ahead and build their set right next to the set for Divorce Court. Since so many marriages end up that way anyway, and The Newlywed Game is about testing how well the contestants know one another, it would make sense that some of the couples might want to head right over there. Hell, they could air the episodes back-to-back for a one-two punch of entertainment. Nothing like watching people's lives fall apart on national television.

I always liked The Newlywed Game. Even as a kid I used to watch it in syndication. My local station paired it with The Dating Game; back then the world was a lot more innocent and optimistic. At worst, the couples would glare at one another or have a sharp word. In this day of Jerry Springer we'll probably need bouncers and to make sure the chairs are secured to the soundstage.

Even our dating game shows have turned into things like Elimidate and those horrid shows on VH1 where sluts and whores try to get with the likes of Tila Tequila, Bret Michaels or Flavor Flav. Hell, maybe we should have a celebrity version of The Newlywed Game. Considering that celebrities like to get married and divorced all the time, they're constantly newlyweds. And they probably don't know a thing about one another, so we'll need to keep Celebrity Divorce Court on standby.

The Newlywed Game is most associated with host Bob Eubanks, and as he's still alive and kicking at 70 why not just let him get back in the ring. If Regis can still be hosting game shows and daytime talk shows and anything else that keeps him on television at 77, Eubanks can do it. Or maybe Bob Ueker. It sounds almost the same. Who would you get to do it? Craig Ferguson would be my choice.
