Title | Classic Dating & Relationship Shows |
Text | The Dating Game was a popular "dating show" (a television program that shows people dating each other) in which a "bachelorette" (a woman who is single) would sit on the "stage" (a raised area in front of an audience, used for performance in theaters) and "pose" (ask) questions to three "bachelors" (men who are not married). She would not be able to see the three bachelors, but the "viewing audience" (people who were watching the show) could see all four people. At the end of the show, she would choose one of the men for a date, and then be allowed to see him. Sometimes the "gender roles" (who is a man and who is a woman) would be reversed, with a bachelor posing questions to three bachelorettes. The show "aired" (was shown on TV) beginning in 1965. There were some "gaps" (times when the show was not aired), but the last episode aired in 1999. Many of the "contestants" (people who participate in a game show) became famous after their appearance on the show. These include Farrah Fawcett, Suzanne Somers, Tom Selleck, and Steve Martin. Another relationship game show, The Newlywed Game, aired between 1966 and 2013. The show has "newlyweds" (people who have been married for a short period of time) compete against other newlyweds by answering questions that "reveal" (show) how much the couples know about their partner. The winner is the couple that answers the most questions correctly. In some episodes, the couples get into "heated arguments" (very strong disagreements) over the answers to the questions, and sometimes this has led to "divorce" (the official end of a marriage)! |
