About Family Feud in brief
Family Feud is an American television game show created by Mark Goodson. Two families compete to name the most popular responses to survey questions in order to win cash and prizes. The show has had three separate runs; the original run from 1976 to 1985 aired on ABC during the daytime, and had a separate nighttime edition that ran in syndication and was also hosted by Richard Dawson. In 1988, the series was revived and aired on CBS and also had a nighttime syndication edition. This version was hosted by Ray Combs until 1994, and brought back Richard Dawson for the 1994–1995 season. A third run began in 1999 in syndicated only, and continues to run to this day, being hosted by a series of different hosts, including Louie Anderson, Richard Karn, John O’Hurley, and Steve Harvey. On March 14, 2020, production of Family Feud was suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of August 2020,production for season 22 has resumed with minimal crew, behind closed doors, and crew adhering to rigorous health and safety protocols put in place to comply with all Georgia and Fulton County requirements. The program has spawned multiple regional adaptations in over 50 international markets outside the United States. Reruns of Steve Harvey-hosted episodes air on Game Show Network, while reruns of earlier versions air on Buzzr. Aside from television shows, there have been also many home editions produced in board game, interactive film, and video game formats. In 2013, TV Guide ranked Family Feuds third in its list of the 60 greatest game shows of all time.
The minimum age to participate in the show is 15, although every family must have at least one person who is 18 years or older. The first contestant to buzz-in gives an answer; if it is the mostpopular, hisher family immediately wins the face-off. If neither contestant’s answer is on the board, the other eight contestants have a chance to respond, one at a time from alternating sides, until an answer is revealed. The family with control of the question then tries to win the round by guessing all of the remaining concealed answers, with each member giving one answer in sequence. Ties are broken in favor of the contestant who buzzes in first. If the family earns three strikes, their opponents are given one chance to \”steal\” the points by guessing any remaining concealed answer; failing to do so awards the points to the family that had control. From 1992 to 2003, the value of the points would be credited for the family back that originally gave an answer for the question. Any remaining answers that were not guessed are worth one point for every person in the team. For most of the series, this is done after the family was polled for an answer with each other; the only exception was on the 1988 series where each family member was asked to give a different answer. If every person on the team’s captain is required to give an answer, the answer is then revealed.
