Question
I'm hoping you can help me...  I have friends that were on the Newlywed game many years ago, and won...  How could I find out when the episode will air so I can record it for them?  Their names are Jim and Jackie Norris...

Thank you!!!

Answer
Hello and thanks for the question.

I wish I could be more positive, but trying to find a specific contestant on a game show rerun is next to impossible.  I would recommend that you go to the Game Show Network website (www.gsn.com) and scan their schedules for times when the Newleywed Game(NG) will be broadcast.  There were several versions of the (NG) such as the NG, the New NG and the All new NG.  After you find out when the games are broadcast, you can set your VCR to record daily.  Once a week, review the tape (you should only need to see the first minute or so) and maybe through hit and miss, you will find them.

You also might try writing GSN and tell them the approximate year these people were on.  They may not be able to tell you the exact episode, but they should be able to tell you what year(s) programs they are currently showing and when your specific year is scheduled.  That would save you a lot of taping.

Good luck in your quest.
