Family Feud is an American television game show created by Marking Goodson in which ii families compete to name the about pop answers to survey questions in order to win cash and prizes.

The prove has had three separate runs, the first of which started in 1976. Its original run from 1976 to 1985 aired on ABC and in syndication, with Richard Dawson as host. In 1988, the series was revived and aired on both CBS and in syndication with Ray Combs hosting until 1994, with Dawson returning until that version ended in 1995. In 1999, the series was revived through its kickoff-run syndication with four unlike hosts: Louie Anderson (1999–2002), Richard Karn (2002–2006), John O'Hurley (2006–2010), and Steve Harvey (2010–present). Studio announcers who introduced the contestants and read credits included Cistron Wood (1976–1995), Burton Richardson (1999–2010), Joey Fatone (2010–2015), and Rubin Ervin (2015–present).

Within a year of its debut, the original version became the number i game testify in daytime television; all the same, as viewing habits inverse, the ratings declined. Harvey becoming host in 2010 increased Nielsen ratings significantly and eventually placed the program among the meridian three most-popular syndicated tv shows in the U.s.. Harvey has likewise surpassed every previous host in tenure, although Dawson hosted more than episodes of the prove.

The programme has produced multiple regional adaptations in over fifty international markets exterior the U.s.a.. Reruns of episodes hosted past Steve Harvey air on Game Prove Network, as well every bit in syndication while reruns of before versions air on Buzzr. Aside from television set shows, there take been too many home editions produced in board game, interactive film, and video game formats.

Gameplay [edit]

2 family unit teams of 5 contestants (reduced to four contestants for the 1994–95 flavour) each compete to win greenbacks by offer answers to survey questions. The original version of the prove began with the families being introduced, seated opposite each other equally if posing for family unit portraits, after which the host interviewed them.[two]

The minimum age to participate in Family Feud is 15, although every family must take at to the lowest degree i person who is xviii years or older. Each circular begins with a "face-off" question that serves as a toss-up between two opposing contestants. The host asks a survey question that was previously posed to a group of 100 people, such every bit "Name the hour that you get up on Sunday mornings."[3] A certain number of answers are concealed on the lath, ranked by popularity of the survey's responses. Only answers said by at to the lowest degree two people can appear on the board. The offset contestant to fizz-in gives an answer; if it is the almost popular, his/her family immediately wins the face-off. Otherwise, the opponent responds and the family fellow member providing the college-ranked answer wins. Ties are broken in favor of the contestant who buzzes in first. If neither contestant's reply is on the board, the other 8 contestants have a chance to respond, one at a time from alternating sides, until an answer is revealed. The family unit that wins the face-off may choose to play the question or pass control to their opponents (except on the 1988–95 versions, when the family who won the face-off automatically gained control of the question).[three]

The family with control of the question then tries to win the circular past guessing all of the remaining concealed answers, with each fellow member giving one answer in sequence. Giving an incorrect answer, or failing to respond, earns a strike. Iii strikes gives their opponents a chance to "steal" the points for the circular past guessing any remaining answers. Otherwise, the points back to the family that originally had command. From 1992 to 2003, the value of the "stealing" answer was credited to the "stealing" family. If the opponents are given the opportunity to "steal" the points, then only their team's captain is required to answer the question. For nearly of the series, this is done after the family unit confers with each other; the but exception was on the 1988 serial where each family member was polled for an answer with the team helm having the option to either select ane of the family'due south answers or give a unlike respond.[3] Any remaining curtained answers on the lath that were non guessed are and then revealed.

Answers are worth one signal for every person in the 100-member survey who gave them. The winning family in each circular scores the total points for all revealed answers to that question, including those given during the face-off but excluding the i used to steal (if applicable). The number of answers on the board decreases from round to round, and equally the game progresses, sure rounds are played for double or triple point value.[two]

For almost of the show's existence, the first squad to accomplish or surpass a certain point total won the game. The virtually common goal has been 300 points merely in that location have been exceptions. When the original series first premiered, the goal was 200 points and for its last twelvemonth, it was increased to 400 points.[iv] From the debut of the original series until 1992, families were awarded $one per point scored. From 1999 to 2003, in that location was no goal. The fourth round only was worth triple point values, and the highest scoring family after the fourth round won.

On the first two serial a match continued until a family unit reached the goal. The current series continues to be played in four rounds. In 2003, when neither family unit reaches 300 by the finish of the fourth round, a sudden decease question is played. The question consists of only the highest-ranked answer in a survey and is played for triple point value.

In the original periodic primetime specials, three games were played, with the first two using the $200 format. For the third game, simply one question circular was played with the winning 2 celebrity teams from the previous rounds playing.[5]

Fast Money [edit]

At the end of the primary game, the winning family selects two members to play the show's bonus round, known as "Fast Coin". One contestant is onstage with the host, while the other is sequestered backstage with headphones so every bit not to hear or see the first portion of the round. The first contestant is asked five rapid-fire survey questions and has a ready time limit in which to answer them (originally 15 seconds, extended to 20 in 1994); fourth dimension begins to run only after the first question is asked, and the first contestant may laissez passer on a question and return to it after all five accept been asked, if time remains.

Afterward the start contestant has finished answering or run out of fourth dimension, he or she is awarded a indicate for each person in the survey who gave the same response. One time these points are tallied, the board is cleared except for the total score, and the 2d contestant is then brought out to answer the same v questions. The same rules are followed, but the time limit is extended by five seconds (originally xx, and so extended to 25); in addition, if the 2d contestant duplicates an reply given past the offset, a buzzer sounds and he or she must requite another answer. The family is awarded $v for each point. If the two contestants reach a combined total of 200 points or more, the family unit wins a cash prize.[three]

The greenbacks prize for winning Fast Money has varied. During the ABC and CBS incarnations of the show, the elevation prize was $5,000,[half dozen] [vii] and $10,000 in syndication. In 2001, the prize was doubled to $twenty,000.[8]

In the original periodic primetime specials, each game was followed by a Fast Money round. The first ii were each worth $five,000, and the concluding one was worth $10,000.[five]

Returning champions [edit]

When Family unit Feud premiered on ABC, network rules dictated how much a family could win. Once whatsoever family reached $25,000, they were retired as champions.[ix] [ better source needed ] The accompanying syndicated serial that premiered in 1977 featured ii new families each episode because of a so mutual television syndication practice known equally "bicycling" (wherein individual stations sent an episode of a serial they had already aired to another station, reducing the number of tapes a syndicator had to ship out but also ensuring that stations did not air the same episode of a evidence the aforementioned day, nor were they bodacious of airing in a proper sequence).

The CBS daytime and syndicated versions which began airing in 1988 also featured returning champions, who could appear for a maximum of 5 days.[ten] [ ameliorate source needed ] For a brief period in the 1994–95 season which aired in syndication, in that location were no returning champions. For these episodes, 2 new families competed in this starting time half of each episode. The second half featured former champion families who appeared on Family Feud betwixt 1976 and 1985, with the winner of the beginning half of the prove playing one of these families in the second half.[11] [ better source needed ]

In some case from 1992 to 1995, the returning champions only continue until they are defeated. From 1999 to 2002, two new families appeared on each episode. In 2002, the returning champions dominion was reinstated with the same five-day limit.[12] [ better source needed ] In 2009, a new car was announced for a family who wins five games in a row.

Bullseye/Bankroll game [edit]

In June 1992, the CBS daytime edition of Feud expanded from 30 to hour and became known as the Family Feud Challenge. As part of the change, a new circular was added at the start of each game called "Bullseye". This round determined the potential Fast Money pale for each team.[13] Each team was given a starting value for their bank and attempted to come upward with the top answer to a survey question to add to information technology. The Bullseye round was added to the syndicated edition in September 1992, which remained 30 minutes and was retitled every bit the New Family Feud.

The first two members of each family unit appeared at the face-off podium and were asked a question to which simply the number-1 respond was available. Giving the peak respond added the value for that question to the family's depository financial institution. The process and so repeated with the four remaining members from each family. On the first half of the daytime version, families were staked with $two,500. The first question was worth $500, with each succeeding question worth $500 more than the previous, with the final question worth $two,500. This allowed for a potential maximum banking concern of $ten,000. For the 2nd half of the daytime version, and as well on the syndicated version, all values were doubled, making the maximum potential banking concern $20,000. The squad that eventually won the game played for their bank in Fast Money.

In 1994, with Richard Dawson returning as host, the circular's proper name was inverse to the "Bankroll" round.[14] Although the goal remained of giving only the number-one answer, the format was modified to three questions from five, with but i member of each family participating for all three questions. The initial stake for each family remained the same ($two,500 in the first half of the hour and $5,000 in the 2nd). However, the value for each question was $500, $1,500 and $2,500 in the outset half, with values doubling for the second half. This meant a potential maximum bank of $vii,000 in the first one-half and $14,000 in the 2nd.[14]

The Bullseye round returned for the 2009–2010 season and was played similarly to the format used from 1992 to 1994 on the syndicated version. Five questions were asked, worth from $1,000 to $v,000. Yet, each family was given a $15,000 starting stake, which meant a potential maximum of a $thirty,000 banking concern.

When Harvey took over as host, the Fast Money jackpot reverted to a flat $20,000.

Hosts and announcers [edit]

When Family unit Feud was conceived in 1976, Richard Dawson (and so a regular panelist on the Goodson–Todman game show Match Game) had a standing agreement with Marker Goodson that when the side by side Goodson–Todman game prove was in the planning stages, Dawson would be given an audition to host it. Dawson had read in merchandise publications that a pilot for a new show named Family Feud was in the works, and it was originally to be hosted by Star Trek player William Shatner (although since they were involved in the run-throughs, Geoff Edwards and Jack Narz, the latter of whom reputedly was Goodson's initial pick to host, were under consideration). Incensed, Dawson sent his amanuensis to Goodson to threaten to present an un-funny, silent, and banal persona on future Friction match Game episodes if he was not given an audition for Feud.[15] Dawson was so selected as host of the original ABC and first syndicated versions of Family Feud. As writer David Marc put it, Dawson'southward on-air personality "cruel somewhere between the dotterel sincerity of Wink Martindale and the raunchy pessimism of Chuck Barris".[sixteen] Dawson showed himself to have insistent affections for all of the female members of each family unit that competed on the testify, regardless of age, kissing them, an act that attracted some controversy then among viewers.[xvi] Writers Tim Brooks, Jon Ellowitz, and Earle F. Marsh attributed Family Feud 's popularity to Dawson'southward "glib familiarity" (he had previously played Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes) and "set wit" (from his tenure equally a panelist on Match Game).[2] The testify'due south original journalist was Factor Wood,[17] with Johnny Gilbert and Rod Roddy serving as occasional substitutes.[18]

In 1988, comedian Ray Combs took over Dawson's role every bit host on CBS and in syndication with Wood returning equally announcer and Roddy and Art James serving in that role when Wood was not bachelor.[18] Combs hosted the program until the daytime version'south cancellation in 1993 and the syndicated version until the end of the 1993–94 flavor. Dawson returned to the bear witness at the request of Mark Goodson Productions for the 1994–95 season.[19]

When Feud returned to syndication in 1999, it was initially hosted by comedian Louie Anderson,[2] with Burton Richardson as the new journalist.[20] In 2002, Richard Karn was selected to take over for Anderson,[2] until he was replaced by John O'Hurley in 2006.[ii] In 2010, both O'Hurley and Richardson departed from the show. O'Hurley subsequently stated that he left because he was resistant toward the testify's conclusion to emphasize ribald humor and wanted to go along the show family unit-friendly.[21] Steve Harvey was later named the new host for 2010–11 season,[22] and announcements were made using a pre-recorded rails of Joey Fatone's voice.[23] In 2015, Harvey signed with ABC for the primetime reboot of Celebrity Family unit Feud, with Burton Richardson returning as announcer. Rubin Ervin, who has been a fellow member of the production staff as the warmup man for the audition since Harvey took over, became the announcer from 2015–16 season.

Production [edit]

The first four versions of the testify were directed by Paul Alter and produced past Howard Felsher and Cathy Dawson. For the 1988 versions, Gary Dawson worked with the show as a third producer, and Alter was joined by two other directors, Marc Breslow and Andy Felsher.[18] The 1999 version'due south main staff include executive producer Gabrielle Johnston, co-executive producers Kristin Bjorklund, Brian Hawley and Sara Dansby, and manager Ken Fuchs; Johnston and Bjorklund previously worked every bit associate producers of the 1980s version.[24] The bear witness'due south archetype theme melody was written by an uncredited Walt Levinsky for Score Productions. The theme and cues for the 1994–1995 version was written by Edd Kalehoff and are based on the Walt Levinsky limerick. The themes used from 1999 to 2008 were written by John Lewis Parker.[24] The production rights to the testify were originally owned by the production company Goodson shared with his partner Bill Todman, simply were sold to their electric current holder, Fremantle, when it acquired all of Goodson and Todman'south format itemize in 2002.[24]

Broadcast history [edit]

1976–1985 [edit]

Mark Goodson created Family Feud during the increasing popularity of his earlier game prove, Lucifer Game, which had set daytime ratings records between 1973 and 1976, and on which Dawson appeared nearly daily as one of its most popular panelists. Lucifer Game aired on CBS, and by 1976, CBS vice-president Fred Silverman, who had originally commissioned Lucifer Game, had moved to a new position every bit president of ABC. The show, along with a revised daytime schedule for the summer, was offset announced past ABC at an annual meeting in May.[25] The show premiered on ABC's daytime lineup at 1:30 p.one thousand. (ET)/12:30 p.g. (CT/MT/PT) on July 12, 1976. Because information technology faced the showtime halves of two long-running and pop soap operas, CBS' As the World Turns and NBC's Days of Our Lives, Feud was not an immediate hitting. But a timeslot change several months later on fabricated it a ratings winner for ABC, and it eventually surpassed Match Game to become the highest-rated game show on daytime TV.

Due to the expansion of All My Children to one hour in April 1977, the evidence was moved to eleven:30/10:30 a.g., as the second part of an hour that had daytime reruns of Happy Days (afterwards Laverne & Shirley) as its lead-in. When the Dick Clark-hosted $twenty,000 Pyramid was canceled in June 1980, Feud moved a one-half-hour back to 12 noon/11:00 a.m.[26] It remained the most popular daytime game bear witness until Merv Griffin's game evidence Bike of Fortune, propelled by a new, highly-pop concurrent syndicated evening version, surpassed it in 1984.[iii] From May eight, 1978 until May 25, 1984, ABC periodically broadcast 60 minutes-long primetime "All-Star Specials", in which celebrity casts from various primetime TV series (by and large ABC ones) competed instead of ordinary families.[2] The popularity of the program inspired Goodson to consider producing a nighttime edition, which launched in syndication on September 19, 1977 with Viacom Enterprises as benefactor. Like many other game shows at the time, the night Feud aired once a calendar week; it expanded to twice a calendar week in January 1979,[3] and finally to five nights a calendar week (Monday through Friday) in the fall of 1980, representing the first fourth dimension that a weekday network game ran meantime with a nightly syndicated edition. Dawson and Feud coasted for several years at the peak, seen twice a day in much of the country. However, the viewing habits of both daytime and syndicated audiences began irresolute around 1984.[iii] When Griffin launched Bike 's syndicated version, starring Pat Sajak and Vanna White, in 1983, that prove climbed the ratings to the point where it unseated Feud every bit the highest-rated syndicated show, fifty-fifty replacing it on some stations;[27] the syndicated premiere of Wheel 'south sis show Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek as host besides siphoned ratings from Feud with its early (and surprising, given an unstable beginning few months) success. With declining ratings (probably due mainly to its overexposure and viewers afterward tiring of the show), and as office of a scheduling reshuffle with two of ABC's one-half-hour soaps, the show moved back to the xi:30/10:30 timeslot in Oct 1984, as the 2nd part of a i-hour game prove block with Trivia Trap (subsequently All-Star Blitz) equally its lead-in, hoping to make a dent in the ratings of The Toll Is Correct, coincidentally some other Goodson-packaged show.

Despite the ratings reject, at that place was some interest in keeping the bear witness in product. In a 2010 interview, Dawson recalled a meeting with executives from Viacom about renewing the show for one more than flavor afterward 1985. Dawson was growing tired of the grueling taping schedule and initially wanted to stop altogether. Afterwards discussing the situation with ABC and Viacom, Dawson said that he would render for a final syndicated season of thirty-nine weeks of episodes but would not continue doing the daytime serial. Later on this, Dawson did non hear from Viacom for approximately a calendar week and in one case they contacted him once again, Dawson was told that Viacom was no longer interested in standing the syndicated Feud across the 1984–85 season.[28] Viacom made this official in January 1985 alee of that yr's NATPE convention, and within a few weeks, ABC, probably prompted by Viacom's decision, decided that it too would non renew Feud for the 1985–86 flavour.[29] The daytime version came to an end on June 14, 1985.[iii] The final week was taped a month prior, on May 16. Newspapers via Associated Press reported that this version was slated to end on June 28. Nonetheless, for reasons undisclosed, information technology ended two weeks prior to that instead.[30] The syndicated version aired its last new episode on May 17, 1985, with reruns standing to air until September of that year.[3]

1988–1995 [edit]

Family Feud moved to CBS with Ray Combs hosting the show on July 4, 1988 at 10:00 a.m. (ET)/9:00 a.one thousand. (CT/MT/PT), replacing The $25,000 Pyramid (which had aired continuously in that time slot since September 1982, except betwixt January and Apr 1988, when Blackout took its place; CBS began development on Family Feud presently after Blackout was canceled). Similar its predecessor, this version also had an accompanying syndicated edition which launched in September of that twelvemonth. It moved to 10:30/nine:30 in January 1991 to make room for a short-lived talk evidence starring Barbara De Angelis. At that time frame, it replaced the daytime Wheel of Fortune, which moved dorsum to NBC after a two-year run on CBS hosted by Bob Goen but still featuring Vanna White.[2] In June 1992, the network version expanded from its original half-hour format to a full hour, and was retitled The Family unit Feud Claiming;[two] this new format featured three families per episode, which included two new families competing in the beginning half-60 minutes for the correct to play the returning champions in the second one-half. The Family Feud Challenge aired its concluding new episode on March 26, 1993, with reruns ambulation until September 10.[31] The syndicated Feud, meanwhile, remained in production and entered its sixth season in the autumn of 1993.

At this point, the syndicated Feud had been dealing with a consistent ratings downturn for several years. Although the series initially secured time frames in desirable hours (such as the prime time Access hr), stations rapidly found other programming, including tabloid news magazine programs A Electric current Thing, Inside Edition and Hard Copy. The magazines drew higher ratings (and in particular, younger, more than desirable demographics). Some stations dropped the syndicated Feud outright, while others relocated it to lower-rated time frames such as overnights. The turn down eventually resulted in the ratings bottoming out in 1992–93.

Distributor All American Telly informed Marking Goodson Productions that, unless in that location was an uptick in the ratings or changes fabricated to the program, information technology ceased distributing Family Feud at the end of the 1993–94 flavour. The responsibility for this was all in the hands of Jonathan Goodson, who had taken over his father's company when Mark Goodson died in 1992. One of the options considered was a host change, with Goodson executives and Goodson himself reaching a consensus to remove Combs from the testify in favor of his predecessor, Richard Dawson.[nineteen]

This ran counter to his male parent'southward original 1988 decision, every bit Marking Goodson was loyal to Combs from the moment that he hired him and had refused to even consider Dawson, due to the trouble he caused for the product staff on the original serial, notably a long-running antagonism toward Howard Felsher. Many members of the original production staff were also working on the revival series and held lingering negative feelings toward Dawson, not wanting to piece of work with him. However, Jonathan Goodson did not accept the emotional ties to Combs that his father did, and felt that a change was necessary in order to keep the show in production.

After a rigorous staff meeting, Goodson offered Dawson a contract to return equally host of the syndicated Feud, and the semi-retired Dawson agreed to return, nine years after his somewhat acrimonious divergence from the original. Combs was permitted to finish out the remainder of the season, and, after his final episode that was recorded in early on 1994, he left the studio without fifty-fifty saying farewell to anybody.[nineteen]

A revamped Family Feud returned for a seventh season in September 1994, with Dawson returning as the host. The prove expanded from thirty to sixty minutes, reinstated the Family Feud Claiming format, and did various other things to attempt to better ratings such as modernizing the set, featuring families that had previously been champions on the original Feud, and having more themed weeks. Although Dawson did bring a cursory ratings surge when he came back, every bit the novelty wore off, the show could not sustain it over the long term, and Feud came to a decision at the end of the flavor, with Dawson retiring permanently afterward. Its concluding new episode aired on May 26, 1995, with reruns airing until September 8, ending a seven-year run. The testify ceased production for nearly 4 years after repeated failures to come to an agreement with diverse syndicators. Outside of the show, former Family Feud host Ray Combs, whose life was falling apart due to fiscal ruin caused in big measure out by the typecasting he incurred as host of Feud, being unable to obtain other prove-business employment because of a drought at the time of other game shows, died on June ii, 1996 by hanging himself in a Glendale psychiatric ward.

1999–present [edit]

Family unit Feud returned in syndication on September 20, 1999, with comedian Louie Anderson as the next host.[32] Three years later, Richard Karn took over the evidence. The format was inverse to reintroduce returning champions, allowing them to appear for up to v days.[two] Anderson-hosted episodes continued in reruns that aired on PAX Television set/Ion Telly. Karn hosted the testify for iv years until he was replaced past John O'Hurley in 2006 and Steve Harvey in 2010.

The prove's Nielsen ratings were at 1.5, putting it in danger of cancellation once again (as countless affiliates that carried the show from 1999 to 2010 aired it in daytime, graveyard or other low-rated fourth dimension slots). Since Steve Harvey took over the show, ratings increased by as much every bit 40%,[33] and within two short years, the show was rated at 4.0, and had become the fifth-nearly-popular syndicated program.[34] Fox News' Paulette Cohn argued that Harvey's "relatability," or "understanding of what the people at home want to know," was what saved the prove from counterfoil;[35] Harvey himself debated, "If someone said an answer that was so ridiculous, I knew that the people at home behind the photographic camera had to be going, 'What did they just say?' … They gave this reply that doesn't accept a shot in hell of being up in that location. The fact that I recognize that, that'due south comedic genius to me. I think that's [what fabricated] the difference."[35]

Steve Harvey'southward Family Feud has regularly ranked amid the top 10 highest-rated programs in all of daytime television programming and tertiary amidst game shows (backside Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!); in Feb 2014, the evidence achieved a 6.0 share in the Nielsen ratings, with approximately 8.8 meg viewers.[36] In June 2015, Family Feud eclipsed Wheel of Fortune, which had been on superlative for over 30 years, as the most-watched syndicated game show on idiot box, and consistently began ranking among the top iii shows in all of syndication. The show has had improved syndication clearances and better timeslots. Information technology has been airing in early fringe and prime admission slots nationwide.[37]

Reruns of the Dawson-, Combs-, Anderson- and Karn-hosted episodes have been included amid Buzzr's acquisitions since its launch on June 1, 2015.[38] In 2019, reruns of the Karn-hosted episodes started airing on Up TV during the morning hours.

Production of Family unit Feud was shifted from Universal Orlando to Harvey's hometown of Atlanta in 2011, showtime staged at the Atlanta Civic Heart and later at the Georgia World Congress Heart. Harvey was as well originating a syndicated radio show from Atlanta, and the country of Georgia provided tax credits for the production. In 2017, production moved to Los Angeles Eye Studios (later moved once again to Universal Studios Hollywood and afterwards still to CBS Studio Center) in Los Angeles to arrange Harvey's new syndicated talk show Steve, returning production of the regular series to Los Angeles for the commencement time since 2010.[39] [40] [41] [42]

In November 2019, Harvey started production in South Africa for that country's version.[43] It aired for the kickoff time on Lord's day, Apr v, 2020. In conjunction, a website was launched, defended to the region to catch upward on previous episodes, submit entries and engage from a local perspective.[44]

In March 2020, afterwards initially announcing that product would keep with no studio audience, Fremantle suspended production of all of its programs (including Family unit Feud) due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
