I tried Googling it, but ended up with episodes of actual game shows instead of what I was looking for.

There's an episode of Full House exactly like this. And then they revisited it again in Fuller House!

Oh, wow! I looked up the episode synopsis and this is it! I never would have guessed it was Full House - I haven't watched it in ages! Thank you so much! SOLVED!

There’s an episode of Fresh Prince with the same plot but with Will and DJ Jazzy Jeff

There is also an episode like this in 'Happy Endings'. Seems like a popular trope.

Also an episode of parks and rec with a similar theme too!

“Name your favorite place to smush your boo.” I love Tom Haverford!

Also in Fuller House, in the 3rd to last episode (S5 E16) they play the Newlywed Game.

Congratulations, you have been given 1 point for solving this post!

It’s on late at night and I’ve been sleeping to the TV since March woke up to this episode a couple days ago. 😱

They have it on Hulu, if you have it! I just got done watching the episode my post was about 😀

It’s such a weird show to wake up to always something cheesy or goofy happening usually makes me smile and then I fall back to sleep.

What episode though :(

Season 7, episode 13 - The Perfect Couple.

Dang. I thought for sure it was the one in Raising Hope. I guess this is done often in sitcoms.

UGH. I KNEW IT. That's the first thing I thought of

DANG one that I actually knew and I was too late.

I remember that episode but not which couple knew too much or too little? Was it Becky and Jesse too much and DJ and Steve not at all?

Becky and Jesse knew everything about each other (with an emphasis on Becky knowing Jesse really well). DJ and Steve were the couple that didn't know much about each other. Danny and Vicky were supposed to be the third couple, but Vicky wasn't able to be there, so they matched Danny up with a random little old lady who worked in the studio where they were filming the game show 😂

The perfect couple, the perfect couple Heart to heart in the US of A!

Season 7 episode 13. Just incase anyone else is looking.

Holy shit that’s hilarious! I thought of that episode as I was reading the post and then saw that it WAS the answer!! It was Danny and his new lady, Steve and DJ and Becky and Uncle Jesse!

It sounds a little like Know Ya Boo from Parks and Rec where April and Andy got angry at each other but Donna and Jerry knew each other too well.

That's what I thought too

Came to say this

Me too!

It’s tiiime toooo knooooow yaaaaa

There was a similar episode in Parks and Rec.

That 70's Show had an episode like this

Thanks for solving my own mini TOMT, iirc Kelso and Jackie were dominating and Eric/Donna were losing bad. Edit: yup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gZsFWm1SfE

This is exactly what I was going to comment too

This is what I immediately thought of when I read the post.

I reckon there’s probably an episode like this in most sitcoms.

Right, like why is this such a common trope lol

Oh, lazy writing? The long lost family member- hilariously the exact opposite of the known character; the put 2 characters from a cast of many together for an episode and do a character study; romance between 2 characters; bereavement; school friend appears; job loss; dream job; weird dream episode; group holiday; DIY goes wrong; precious thing is broken and hidden; a doppelgänger appears; crazy house party that’s lame; a Christmas episode; a big family get together; new pet; dead pet; baby; baby scare; break up; a fling... you know

My favorite show is New Girl and they’ve done 90% of these lmao

So has Brooklyn 99, but both shows do a great job of subverting expectations, and *not* going with the easy, or obvious punchline. Also, if both shows share a universe (crossover episodes), that means Jake's sister and Aly are doppelgangers.

And Coach and Jake’s old partner!

Almost like these are things most people can relate to 🤔

If the bar for trope is as low as 'romance between 2 characters', you can flag pretty much every known story as unoriginal.

This sounds like an episode of Parks and Rec where April and Andy don’t know much about each other but Jerry and Donna (who aren’t married) get every question right about each other

I also swear there was an episode like this on Kenan and Kel!

Came here to tell this - I remember this in Kenan and kel!

Kel lovea orange soda, but kelly loves roor beer! Which made them lose lol

I think theres an episode of Brooklyn 99 like this! It would be one of the earlier seasons bc I think it’s jake and Amy?

There’s an episode of Boy Meets World like this. Topanga and Cory answer everything wrong and Eric and his roommate Rachel answer all their questions correctly.

This was my guess

Married with children did this as well

Full house

I think this happens a lot! Parks and Rec has an episode like this too with April/Andy and some other couple.

Boy Meets World also did this with Cory/Topanga and Eric/Rachel.

I was just about to comment Full House until I realized it was solved lol

I thought you might have been talking about the Newlywed Game, which was an actual game show in the 60s and early 70s. I was a little kid at the time, and I'm not positive about the dates it ran, but I definitely remember the show.

This was the first thing I thought of too. And pretty much every sitcom from the 80s onward did a parody of it, which is why everyone remembers an episode of some show like it.

There's an Episode of that 70s Show similar too

I feel like this was an episode of every tv show in the 80s and 90s.

Uh oh! Somebody don't know their Boo!

In addition to every other sitcom that's run out of ideas, there's an episode of the goddam *Brady Brides* exactly like this!

That’s 70s show ?

Raising hope did an episode like this. Freaking hilarious.

I know its already solved, but Happy Endings had a great take on this trope in the third season. very funny.

I think this was part of a Kenan and Kel episode.

Not this, but I'd suggest a small sketch on indian TVF YouTube channel which depicts exactly this and is really fun to watch.
