Saw an episode & looked up that all 3 couples later divorced.

Perhaps these are not the best television shows to have Hollywood couples speak about their marriages, but I noticed the following this afternoon:

-Bill Bixby and his 1st wife named Brenda Benet;

-Juliet Mills and her 2nd husband Michael Miklenda;

-Dick Martin and his 2nd/3rd wife Dolly. *

Note: All three couples would later divorced, actually NOT too long after their appearances aired.

Maybe it had to do with some of the answers?

* Dick Martin and Dolly were married then divorced in 1974 but remarried in 1979 until Dick's death.

I wasn't old enough to appreciate the show during its original run, but I'm surely enjoying the re-runs on BUZZR in 2023. To the reviewer who wrote the guests were barely "C" list celebs. NOT TRUE! Ann-Margret, Buddy Ebsen, Lynn Anderson, William Shatner, Patty Duke, Redd Foxx, Dionne Warwick, Milton Berle, etc. Would have hardly be considered "C" list celebs in the '70s. I'm thankful BUZZR is re-running these gems, as well as Match Game.

Each week, there's usually a BIG name celeb guest/their spouse, and the other two celeb guests may be "B'' list celebs ... but still fun to watch. I'm actually surprised some of the racy answers were allowed to air back then. This was an era when people (even celebs) had some decorum and, unlike today, you actually knew the celebs - be they "A" or "B" list.

I love the 70's I can't say enough about it. I am a 1975 baby and I started watching these at a young age with my mom. I was excited to see they are on stream. I just love how you get to know the actors life and what they looked like back then and now most of them sadly have gotten divorced but they sure appear so happy and I love that.

Sophia Petrillo references the show on a Golden Girls episode. I had never seen or heard of this show. Now on Buzzr I find it a curious relic from the 70s. I see that Joan Collins and John Astin are the only two living guests I identify. I am now more acquainted with 70s TV personalities.

Because I didn't own a TV in those years or I was working. So I enjoy some guests like Julie London and Ron Masak. Convey pumps the guests to be risque then acts embarrassed. He shushes the audience a lot. The show is ok. It's the Newlyweds game with celebrities. A show I watched in the sixties when I fantasized being a contestant. A curiosity is pairing two gay celebrities as a romantic couple: Fannie Flagg and Dick Sargent If they revive it they can book Mario Cantone and husband. And others who are open. Times have changed from closeted 70s.

It might be a little corny now, but I love the old celebs, the clothes from back in the day, the old products on the ads, etc. Thanks, Buzzr, as it's like watching TV as a kid again.
