[[Game Show]] that sent Bob Eubanks to stardom. This [[Chuck Barris]] production debuted in 1966 on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], coinciding with a pre-emption of [[CBS]]' then-popular ''[[Password]]''. Four couples, all married for less than two years, answered questions that bordered on the bawdy. In the first round, the wives predicted their husbands' answers, and the second round reversed the roles.
Some modern viewers know the show best for Eubanks' supposedly [[Unusual Euphemism]] for sexual intercourse, "whoopie". This impression is probably due to modern viewers' [[Small Reference Pools]], since the euphemism was very well-known in the 1970s — it comes from a 1920s pop tune that was covered more than 300 times between 1930 and 1975. It was only when the popularity of the euphemism faded in the 1980s that Eubanks' use of it became notable.
