...Newlywed Game, The Family Game. All involve calling upon men and women contestants to answer intimate questions about each other; these confrontations titillate the womenfolk at home, who presumably indicate their gratitude by rushing out to the supermarkets to buy countless boxes of soap and cans of hair spray. Last week a Hollywood packaging agency announced that it was working up yet a new variation on the theme. It will be called The Newly Pregnant.
