My inlaws were on The Newlywed Game...Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the tape from the show?

Question

I don't know the date but it would have been in 1971

Answer 1

I found this answer posted on Google from about a month ago...can't take any credit for the work this person put in. Hope it helps.

"The Newlywed Game aired on ABC and was produced by Chuck Barris
Productions, which is now a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
They would be the best hope of finding a copy.

Here is Sony Pictures Entertainment's website:
http://www.sonypictures.com/tv/index.html

Sony does not leave much contact information on their site, but I did
find these email addresses which you could contact for further
information:
https://www.sonypicturestelevision.com/mySpt/portlets/spt/login/contactus.jsp

You can write to ABC at this address or call this phone number:

ABC, Inc.
500 S. Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521-4551

[phone]

If you would just like to view this program rather than owning it, you
can visit the Museum of Television and Radio in either Los Angeles or
New York City and it's very likely that they would have a copy
available for you to view. They do not allow you to copy it in any
way, but if you're not sure exactly what episode you need or just want
to see the show without paying for it (as it will be expensive to get
from Sony Pictures Entertainment), you can go to either of the
locations of the museum and browse their collection. To find out
whether they have what you're looking for, you can contact them
beforehand:

Tuesdays to Fridays, from 4:00 to 5:45 p.m. (EST) only, call
212.621.6600, press "0" to speak to an operator, and ask for the
library; OR e-mail [e-mail].

Another option is, if you have a Tivo or DVR, to set it to record all
episodes of The Newlywed Game that appear on TV. Currently, both TV
Land and the Game Show Network broadcast reruns of the Newlywed Game.
You can also set the Tivo to "no repeats" and only record each episode
once. You may get lucky and just find the episode you're looking for.

I've provided you with the best available information to find the copy
you're seeking.

Answer 2

Old Newlywed Game Episodes

Answer 3

Be advised that your question is not as easy as it sounds. My wife and I were also on the Newlywed Game show in 1971. Tapes for video at that time were reel-to-reel affairs which nobody at home had access to. the suggestions above, vis a vis setting you TIVO or satellite receiver to record is probably the best option.

Answer 4

how neat is that...i'd try and get ahold of someone at the GameShow Network since they do show old episodes and if they have it in their archives maybe they can get you a copy,and if they don't have it they may ber able to direct you to who might,the production company or something else like that...hope you can find it,that would make an awesome anniversary present
