> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by lissener \* > \*\*Depends on what your definition of “is” is. Both times I saw it were on TVs that didn’t have cable. So it’s certainly been on broadcast TV before, though I can’t swear it was on one of the Big Three, which is probably what they meant by “network.” \*\* I believe the _Newleywed Game_ was syndicated. If so it could be seen on a local affiliate without being technically “network TV”. ---

**lissener** Can you possibly put a time estimate on what year(s) you saw it first? Say, within 3 years or so? Thanks. ---

To which city does that line refer? Phoenix Name a body part that we have more than two of. Arms Name slang name for money. Bitch (Contestant thought he said “mummy”) That’s all I can think of for now. ---

I believe Wink Martindale uses the same shoe polish in his hair that I use on a cheap pair of loafers that I own. ---

Hollywood Squares to Florence Henderson (Carol Brady) Q. What did Japanese women use to do after they got married? A. It was probably shave somewhere, but I don’t know where. On the (w)hole… I thought I was going to die at that moment. ---

Richard Dawson: Ok, what’s the first thing you take off when you get home from work? Contestant: My underwear. Richard Dawson: Second question, what time do you get home from work? ---

That was hilarious **xizor**! You are right that the image just kept getting worse. Not only did it look like a giant Twinkie was masturbating, but apparently a giant reptile was getting in on the action. 😃 The Turkey (turkey, turkey) was so funny to me, because even the contestant knew the first two times he said it, it was a terrible answer. By the time the third question rolled around and turkey was applicable, the guy was in tears. Very funny! I don’t remember what show it was from, Match Game? Where the host while introducing a female contestant said something like, “doesn’t she have cute nipples… dimples?” I sort of wish I would have taped it now. ---
