Family Feud

Family Feud with Richard Karn (Al Borland of Home Improvement) is the best and surviving show on syndication today. With the fact for the whole 3 seasons with no new game shows it is now likely to stay that way forever. But the thing about Family Feud is that this show stays fresh, exciting and always the best surveys, questions and answers on every show! I think the best thing that was brought to this show IMHO was that in the 2002-03 season Richard became the host and the 5 day champions were reinstated. In the 2003-04 season the 300 point rule was reinforced, and the tiebreaker round was in play. That gave the other team a fair chance of winning the game for the team and that gave the game a whole new facelift for the show isn't that exciting! So for that I give Family Feud a total of:

9.5/10 This show was the best with Richard Karn! Keep it alive on TV!

I love watching the old reruns with Richard Dawson and Ray Combs. But ever since Steve Harvey took the reins, the questions are loaded to invoke filthy answers. An prime example is What is the hairiest part of your husband? The answer, "His balls." It's no longer a family show, but I guess that's the way of television these days.

Its good and worth PVRing to have a few on hand. Harvey is normally good except when he rambles on and on and over-hams it which happens at least once an episode.

The questions suck!!!! Either about canibals, cheating, or steve harvey himself.

Also the final $20k questions are either softballs or killer hard, never right in the middle.

I'm a family feud fanatic, and just wanted to comment on the DVD game that was released. Most people bought that game thinking and hoping to have the feel of the game show on TV. If you bought it, that isn't the case. I just wanted to know if I may give a suggestion. I saw the TV show LINGO, where the lady host was on the side with a laptop controlling the letters that would be placed on the big screen as the contestants call out the answers. Couldn't that concept work for the family feud DVD game somehow? I wouldn't mind playing the host behind the laptop with the answers while two teams compete, and as they call out the answers, I can view what the answers are and control the answer board which will be viewed by the game players on the TV screen. I am not a computer geek but I know with all the technology out there, we can somehow link the laptop and TV together to get this working. I believe this will be a hit. This is what people are looking for. Hotel resorts can use them as a way to get vacationers to play with each other, or at reunions, showers, etc.. There are all these gadgets for the younger adults, but what is missing for them is most games are single players on the game stations, or they are playing online. I like to use the gadgets too. I don't want to use a plastic board and a marker to play with. I don't want to play online against unknown people(even though that online game was as close as it came to the TV show). I would like to interact with my family and friends or with live people to actually feel the excitement. oh yes, don't forget to throw in the hand lock on buzzers(I don't think that has to get so technical)but it would be cool if it lighted up like on TV. Thanks for listening. Hope to see it out soon.

Very anxious to play the real game live in my home,

I'm sitting and patiently waiting for someone to realize this show sucks and pull it off the air. It's an insult to the late Mark Goodson and Bill Todman (who created the original), Richard Dawson (the greatest Feud host of all time), Gene Wood (a great announcer), and the late Ray Combs (an good replacement), and everything they did to make this show a classic among game shows.

Family Feud used to be a good time for the whole family, but I'm not sure that I'd let my kids (if I had any) watch this. The questions are ridiculous and the answers have more sexual overtones than an episode of The Newlywed Game.

Louie looks like he'd rather be doing anything but hosting this game, which is another reason this version doesn't work. This show relies on a strong, personable host and Louie is neither. A few times I've seen him resort to name dropping Richard's name in an effort to make himself look better. It's not working Louie.

Thank God GSN shows the good Richard Dawson and Ray Combs versions of this show, because if it weren't for them...well, survey would say...no way!!!
