I just watched "The Newlywed Game" for the second time since it originally aired (I was 9 years old the first time). ;D
Wow! What a great show! Extremely well written (congrats to Babs Greyhosky). I don't think I would change a thing about this episode - fast paced, funny, touching at times, easy to follow plot, etc., etc...
Anyone else wanna rave about this episode?
By the way, I'm new to the board - this is my third post (I believe). Glad to find some other fans out there!

Welcome.  There is one thread about it on this page or the next page about the wedding episode and it is a poll. Sorry, but I don't want to rave. I think it should have been a two-parter because the parts that were well-written were too small and rushed. I think this episode had potential, but it was lost. |

Thanks for the welcome, houdiniderek! I see your point. I guess what I called "fast paced" could also be called "rushed." However, I've never been a fan of two-parters. (Remember how frustrating they were as a kid?)  I think that's one of the things that impresses me most about this episode. That, given the time constraint, they were able to cram so much in (including one very important element...namely, the wedding!) without it feeling...well...crammed. At least it didn't feel that way to me. I still prefer to call this one pleasantly "fast paced." |

It was okay, but the rushed part seemed how they dealt with the bad guys and everything. I think it could have been done better as a two-parter. Yes, as a kid, I hated them when watching things like the A-Team, but now that I have DVD sets, I see how useful it might have been.  |

If ABC was gonna pull the plug early without airing everything that was filmed, should this have been the TV finale??

Had they (the production) produced the episodes with that intention I think it would have a been a fine way to end the series. It was intended to be the 4th season of season 3 but ABC knowing they were going to put the show on hiatus pulled it and aired Carlini instead. A bit of trivia, This is the One the Suit was Meant For and The Newlywed Game were cut together as a TV movie in Japan. Kinda cool seeing it like that.
