==Origin==
[[File:Chickenorfish.jpg|thumb|left|Jessica Simpson's infamous "Chicken or fish?" moment in the first episode of ''Newlyweds''.]]
The show was originally intended for [[Michael Jackson]] and [[Lisa Marie Presley]] after their marriage in 1994, but the couple decided not to continue with the project after the start of pre-production. It was shelved until 2002, when Jessica's father and manager, Joe Simpson, contacted Dave about producing a show starring his daughter and her new husband.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/19270/newlyweds-nick-jessica-the-final-season/ |title=Newlyweds - Nick & Jessica - The Final Season : DVD Talk Review of the DVD Video |publisher=Dvdtalk.com |date= |accessdate=2015-02-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Kidder |first=Kristen |url=http://www.popmatters.com/review/newlyweds/ |title=Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica |publisher=PopMatters |date=2003-10-13 |accessdate=2015-02-27}}</ref>
 
== Episodes ==
When Simpson was originally asked why she chose to do such a show for MTV, she replied that it was good promotion for her new album ''[[In This Skin]]''. The reality show, which coincided with the release of the album, at first did not help Simpson's album sales, as it debuted at #10 on the ''Billboard'' charts and quickly fell down. Constantine Paraskevopoulos was asked to come in and direct "[[Sweetest Sin]]" and help sculpt an image breakthrough for the couple depicting them in a way that would break the boundaries of her conservative church going base. The video helped raise an overall awareness and sex appeal for both Jessica and Nick, and was strongly featured in season one's top episode "the Video shoot". During this time, Constantine was also asked to direct [[Nick Lachey]]'s video "[[Shut Up (Nick Lachey song)|Shut Up]]", featuring [[Dax Shepard]] from ''[[Punk'd]]''. This was also highlighted on the series.

However, over the span of the first season, Simpson's popularity began growing, as many of her "dumb blonde" antics gave her much publicity. By the close of 2003, Simpson and Lachey had both become household names, and ''Newlyweds'' had become a pop culture phenomenon. Simpson's label decided to release the second single "[[With You (Jessica Simpson song)|With You]]" to see how it would do on radio now that Simpson had become an A-Lister.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=128187 |title=Most Watched Newlyweds: Jessica and Nick - ABC News |publisher=Abcnews.go.com |date= |accessdate=2015-02-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/19290/newlyweds-nick-jessica-final-season/ |title=Newlyweds - Nick & Jessica: Final Season : DVD Talk Review of the DVD Video |publisher=Dvdtalk.com |date= |accessdate=2015-02-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/13667/newlyweds-nick-jessica-complete-first-season/ |title=Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica - Complete First Season : DVD Talk Review of the DVD Video |publisher=Dvdtalk.com |date=2004-12-14 |accessdate=2015-02-27}}</ref>
