Family Feud is an American tv set game show created by Marking Goodson in which two families compete to proper name the most popular answers to survey questions in society to win cash and prizes.

The bear witness has had 3 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 serial 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 first-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 Factor 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 one game evidence in daytime television; however, as viewing habits inverse, the ratings declined. Harvey becoming host in 2010 increased Nielsen ratings significantly and eventually placed the programme among the top 3 most-popular syndicated television shows in the United States. Harvey has likewise surpassed every previous host in tenure, although Dawson hosted more than episodes of the testify.

The program has produced multiple regional adaptations in over l international markets exterior the United states of america. Reruns of episodes hosted past Steve Harvey air on Game Bear witness Network, besides as in syndication while reruns of earlier versions air on Buzzr. Aside from television shows, in that location have been also many home editions produced in board game, interactive film, and video game formats.

Gameplay [edit]

Two family teams of v contestants (reduced to four contestants for the 1994–95 season) each compete to win cash by offering answers to survey questions. The original version of the show began with the families being introduced, seated reverse each other equally if posing for family portraits, after which the host interviewed them.[2]

The minimum age to participate in Family Feud is 15, although every family must have at least one person who is eighteen 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 equally "Proper noun the hour that you get up on Sun mornings."[3] A sure number of answers are curtained on the lath, ranked by popularity of the survey'due south responses. Only answers said by at least two people can announced on the board. The kickoff contestant to buzz-in gives an reply; if it is the most popular, his/her family unit immediately wins the face-off. Otherwise, the opponent responds and the family fellow member providing the higher-ranked answer wins. Ties are cleaved in favor of the contestant who buzzes in first. If neither contestant's answer is on the lath, the other eight contestants accept a run a risk to reply, 1 at a time from alternating sides, until an answer is revealed. The family unit that wins the face-off may cull to play the question or pass control to their opponents (except on the 1988–95 versions, when the family unit who won the face-off automatically gained control of the question).[3]

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. Giving an incorrect answer, or failing to reply, earns a strike. Iii strikes gives their opponents a adventure to "steal" the points for the round by guessing any remaining answers. Otherwise, the points back to the family that originally had control. 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 squad's captain is required to respond the question. For virtually of the series, this is done after the family unit confers with each other; the only exception was on the 1988 series where each family unit member was polled for an answer with the team captain having the option to either select one of the family'south answers or requite a unlike answer.[3] Whatsoever remaining concealed answers on the board that were not guessed are then revealed.

Answers are worth i point for every person in the 100-member survey who gave them. The winning family in each round scores the total points for all revealed answers to that question, including those given during the face-off but excluding the one used to steal (if applicable). The number of answers on the board decreases from round to circular, and every bit the game progresses, certain rounds are played for double or triple point value.[2]

For most of the testify's existence, the starting time team to reach or surpass a sure signal total won the game. The most common goal has been 300 points simply at that place have been exceptions. When the original series first premiered, the goal was 200 points and for its concluding year, it was increased to 400 points.[4] From the debut of the original serial until 1992, families were awarded $1 per point scored. From 1999 to 2003, there was no goal. The quaternary circular only was worth triple point values, and the highest scoring family after the fourth round won.

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

In the original periodic primetime specials, three games were played, with the offset two using the $200 format. For the 3rd game, only one question round was played with the winning ii celebrity teams from the previous rounds playing.[five]

Fast Money [edit]

At the end of the master game, the winning family selects 2 members to play the bear witness's bonus round, known as "Fast Money". Ane contestant is onstage with the host, while the other is sequestered backstage with headphones then as not to hear or see the first portion of the round. The first contestant is asked five rapid-fire survey questions and has a set time limit in which to respond them (originally 15 seconds, extended to 20 in 1994); time begins to run only afterward the beginning question is asked, and the starting time contestant may laissez passer on a question and return to information technology afterward all 5 accept been asked, if time remains.

After the first contestant has finished answering or run out of time, he or she is awarded a point for each person in the survey who gave the aforementioned response. Once these points are tallied, the board is cleared except for the full score, and the second contestant is then brought out to answer the same five questions. The aforementioned rules are followed, simply the fourth dimension limit is extended by v seconds (originally twenty, then extended to 25); in addition, if the second contestant duplicates an reply given by the first, a buzzer sounds and he or she must give some other answer. The family unit is awarded $5 for each point. If the 2 contestants reach a combined total of 200 points or more, the family wins a cash prize.[three]

The cash prize for winning Fast Money has varied. During the ABC and CBS incarnations of the show, the summit prize was $5,000,[6] [7] and $10,000 in syndication. In 2001, the prize was doubled to $20,000.[viii]

In the original periodic primetime specials, each game was followed by a Fast Money circular. The first 2 were each worth $5,000, and the final 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 any family reached $25,000, they were retired as champions.[ix] [ better source needed ] The accompanying syndicated series that premiered in 1977 featured two new families each episode because of a then common tv syndication practice known as "bicycling" (wherein private stations sent an episode of a series they had already aired to some other station, reducing the number of tapes a syndicator had to transport out merely likewise ensuring that stations did not air the same episode of a evidence the same day, nor were they assured of airing in a proper sequence).

The CBS daytime and syndicated versions which began airing in 1988 also featured returning champions, who could announced for a maximum of five days.[x] [ better source needed ] For a cursory 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 commencement half of each episode. The second half featured former champion families who appeared on Family Feud between 1976 and 1985, with the winner of the first one-half of the evidence playing one of these families in the 2nd one-half.[eleven] [ better source needed ]

In some example from 1992 to 1995, the returning champions simply proceed until they are defeated. From 1999 to 2002, two new families appeared on each episode. In 2002, the returning champions rule was reinstated with the same five-day limit.[12] [ better source needed ] In 2009, a new car was announced for a family unit who wins v 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 Claiming. Every bit part of the change, a new circular was added at the start of each game called "Bullseye". This round determined the potential Fast Money stake for each squad.[13] Each team was given a starting value for their bank and attempted to come upwardly with the top respond to a survey question to add together to it. The Bullseye round was added to the syndicated edition in September 1992, which remained 30 minutes and was retitled as the New Family Feud.

The first two members of each family unit appeared at the confront-off podium and were asked a question to which only the number-ane respond was available. Giving the elevation answer added the value for that question to the family unit's depository financial institution. The process then repeated with the four remaining members from each family. On the first one-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 last question worth $2,500. This allowed for a potential maximum banking concern of $10,000. For the 2nd half of the daytime version, and also on the syndicated version, all values were doubled, making the maximum potential bank $20,000. The team that somewhen won the game played for their bank in Fast Money.

In 1994, with Richard Dawson returning as host, the round's name was changed to the "Backing" circular.[14] Although the goal remained of giving only the number-i answer, the format was modified to three questions from five, with only one member of each family unit participating for all three questions. The initial stake for each family remained the same ($two,500 in the first half of the 60 minutes and $5,000 in the second). However, the value for each question was $500, $ane,500 and $ii,500 in the first one-half, with values doubling for the second half. This meant a potential maximum bank of $7,000 in the beginning half and $xiv,000 in the second.[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. V questions were asked, worth from $ane,000 to $5,000. However, each family unit was given a $15,000 starting stake, which meant a potential maximum of a $xxx,000 bank.

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

Hosts and announcers [edit]

When Family Feud was conceived in 1976, Richard Dawson (and so a regular panelist on the Goodson–Todman game testify Lucifer Game) had a standing agreement with Mark Goodson that when the next Goodson–Todman game bear witness was in the planning stages, Dawson would exist 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 exist 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'due south initial choice to host, were under consideration). Incensed, Dawson sent his agent to Goodson to threaten to present an un-funny, silent, and banal persona on future Lucifer Game episodes if he was non given an audition for Feud.[15] Dawson was then selected as host of the original ABC and first syndicated versions of Family Feud. As writer David Marc put information technology, Dawson's on-air personality "savage somewhere between the brainless sincerity of Wink Martindale and the raunchy cynicism of Chuck Barris".[sixteen] Dawson showed himself to take insistent angel for all of the female members of each family that competed on the bear witness, regardless of age, kissing them, an act that attracted some controversy then among viewers.[16] Writers Tim Brooks, Jon Ellowitz, and Earle F. Marsh attributed Family Feud 'south popularity to Dawson'south "glib familiarity" (he had previously played Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes) and "ready wit" (from his tenure as a panelist on Match Game).[two] The testify's original journalist was Cistron Wood,[17] with Johnny Gilbert and Rod Roddy serving as occasional substitutes.[eighteen]

In 1988, comedian Ray Combs took over Dawson'southward role as host on CBS and in syndication with Wood returning as announcer and Roddy and Fine art James serving in that part when Forest was non available.[18] Combs hosted the plan until the daytime version's counterfoil in 1993 and the syndicated version until the end of the 1993–94 flavour. Dawson returned to the show at the request of Mark Goodson Productions for the 1994–95 season.[nineteen]

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

Production [edit]

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

Broadcast history [edit]

1976–1985 [edit]

Marker Goodson created Family unit Feud during the increasing popularity of his earlier game show, Match Game, which had prepare daytime ratings records between 1973 and 1976, and on which Dawson appeared almost daily as one of its well-nigh popular panelists. Lucifer Game aired on CBS, and by 1976, CBS vice-president Fred Silverman, who had originally commissioned Friction match Game, had moved to a new position every bit president of ABC. The show, forth with a revised daytime schedule for the summer, was first appear by ABC at an annual meeting in May.[25] The show premiered on ABC's daytime lineup at 1:30 p.m. (ET)/12:30 p.m. (CT/MT/PT) on July 12, 1976. Because it faced the first halves of two long-running and popular soap operas, CBS' Every bit the World Turns and NBC's Days of Our Lives, Feud was not an immediate hit. But a timeslot change several months later made it a ratings winner for ABC, and it eventually surpassed Match Game to become the highest-rated game show on daytime Idiot box.

Due to the expansion of All My Children to one hour in April 1977, the show was moved to 11:30/10:30 a.m., equally the second function of an hour that had daytime reruns of Happy Days (afterwards Laverne & Shirley) as its lead-in. When the Dick Clark-hosted $20,000 Pyramid was canceled in June 1980, Feud moved a half-hour back to 12 noon/eleven:00 a.thou.[26] It remained the nigh pop daytime game show until Merv Griffin's game evidence Bike of Fortune, propelled by a new, highly-popular concurrent syndicated evening version, surpassed it in 1984.[iii] From May 8, 1978 until May 25, 1984, ABC periodically broadcast hr-long primetime "All-Star Specials", in which glory casts from various primetime Goggle box serial (mostly ABC ones) competed instead of ordinary families.[ii] 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 distributor. Like many other game shows at the fourth dimension, the nighttime Feud aired once a week; information technology expanded to twice a week in January 1979,[3] and finally to five nights a week (Monday through Friday) in the fall of 1980, representing the showtime fourth dimension that a weekday network game ran concurrently with a nightly syndicated edition. Dawson and Feud coasted for several years at the acme, seen twice a 24-hour interval in much of the land. However, the viewing habits of both daytime and syndicated audiences began changing around 1984.[3] When Griffin launched Wheel 'south syndicated version, starring Pat Sajak and Vanna White, in 1983, that bear witness climbed the ratings to the indicate where information technology unseated Feud as the highest-rated syndicated testify, fifty-fifty replacing information technology on some stations;[27] the syndicated premiere of Bicycle 'south sister show Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek as host too siphoned ratings from Feud with its early (and surprising, given an unstable first few months) success. With failing ratings (probably due mainly to its overexposure and viewers later on tiring of the testify), and as office of a scheduling reshuffle with ii of ABC'southward half-hour soaps, the show moved back to the 11:30/10:thirty timeslot in Oct 1984, as the second part of a one-hour game evidence block with Trivia Trap (later All-Star Blitz) equally its lead-in, hoping to make a dent in the ratings of The Cost Is Right, coincidentally another Goodson-packaged testify.

Despite the ratings decline, in that location was some involvement in keeping the show in product. In a 2010 interview, Dawson recalled a meeting with executives from Viacom virtually renewing the testify for one more flavor later on 1985. Dawson was growing tired of the grueling taping schedule and initially wanted to cease altogether. Subsequently discussing the situation with ABC and Viacom, Dawson said that he would return for a final syndicated flavor of thirty-nine weeks of episodes merely would non continue doing the daytime series. After this, Dawson did not hear from Viacom for approximately a week and once they contacted him again, Dawson was told that Viacom was no longer interested in continuing the syndicated Feud beyond the 1984–85 flavor.[28] Viacom made this official in January 1985 alee of that twelvemonth'southward NATPE convention, and inside a few weeks, ABC, probably prompted past Viacom's conclusion, decided that it also would not renew Feud for the 1985–86 flavor.[29] The daytime version came to an finish on June xiv, 1985.[3] The concluding calendar week was taped a month prior, on May 16. Newspapers via Associated Press reported that this version was slated to stop on June 28. Even so, for reasons undisclosed, information technology concluded two weeks prior to that instead.[30] The syndicated version aired its final new episode on May 17, 1985, with reruns continuing to air until September of that twelvemonth.[3]

1988–1995 [edit]

Family Feud moved to CBS with Ray Combs hosting the show on July 4, 1988 at ten:00 a.thou. (ET)/9:00 a.m. (CT/MT/PT), replacing The $25,000 Pyramid (which had aired continuously in that time slot since September 1982, except between January and April 1988, when Coma took its identify; CBS began development on Family Feud before long later Blackout was canceled). Similar its predecessor, this version likewise had an accompanying syndicated edition which launched in September of that twelvemonth. It moved to ten:30/ix:30 in Jan 1991 to brand room for a short-lived talk show starring Barbara De Angelis. At that time frame, it replaced the daytime Wheel of Fortune, which moved dorsum to NBC afterward a two-year run on CBS hosted by Bob Goen merely nonetheless 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 Feud Challenge;[2] this new format featured three families per episode, which included two new families competing in the first half-hour for the right to play the returning champions in the second half. The Family Feud Challenge aired its final new episode on March 26, 1993, with reruns airing until September x.[31] The syndicated Feud, meanwhile, remained in production and entered its sixth season in the fall 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 every bit the prime number time Access hour), stations quickly found other programming, including tabloid news magazine programs A Electric current Matter, Within Edition and Hard Re-create. The magazines drew higher ratings (and in item, younger, more desirable demographics). Some stations dropped the syndicated Feud outright, while others relocated it to lower-rated time frames such as overnights. The decline eventually resulted in the ratings bottoming out in 1992–93.

Distributor All American Television informed Marking Goodson Productions that, unless there was an uptick in the ratings or changes made to the plan, it ceased distributing Family Feud at the end of the 1993–94 season. The responsibility for this was all in the hands of Jonathan Goodson, who had taken over his male parent'south company when Marking Goodson died in 1992. I of the options considered was a host change, with Goodson executives and Goodson himself reaching a consensus to remove Combs from the show in favor of his predecessor, Richard Dawson.[xix]

This ran counter to his father's original 1988 decision, as Mark Goodson was loyal to Combs from the moment that he hired him and had refused to fifty-fifty consider Dawson, due to the trouble he caused for the production staff on the original series, notably a long-running animosity 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 work with him. However, Jonathan Goodson did not have the emotional ties to Combs that his father did, and felt that a change was necessary in order to proceed the show in product.

After a rigorous staff coming together, Goodson offered Dawson a contract to return as host of the syndicated Feud, and the semi-retired Dawson agreed to return, ix years afterward his somewhat acrimonious departure from the original. Combs was permitted to finish out the remainder of the season, and, after his final episode that was recorded in early 1994, he left the studio without even proverb goodbye to anybody.[19]

A revamped Family Feud returned for a 7th season in September 1994, with Dawson returning as the host. The prove expanded from 30 to threescore minutes, reinstated the Family Feud Challenge format, and did various other things to try to improve ratings such as modernizing the ready, featuring families that had previously been champions on the original Feud, and having more themed weeks. Although Dawson did bring a brief ratings surge when he came back, as the novelty wore off, the show could not sustain it over the long term, and Feud came to a conclusion at the cease of the season, with Dawson retiring permanently afterward. Its concluding new episode aired on May 26, 1995, with reruns ambulation until September viii, catastrophe a seven-year run. The show ceased production for nearly four years after repeated failures to come to an agreement with various syndicators. Outside of the show, onetime Family unit Feud host Ray Combs, whose life was falling apart due to fiscal ruin caused in large measure by the typecasting he incurred as host of Feud, being unable to obtain other show-business employment considering of a drought at the time of other game shows, died on June 2, 1996 by hanging himself in a Glendale psychiatric ward.

1999–nowadays [edit]

Family Feud returned in syndication on September 20, 1999, with comedian Louie Anderson as the next host.[32] Three years subsequently, Richard Karn took over the show. The format was changed to reintroduce returning champions, allowing them to appear for upwardly to five days.[2] Anderson-hosted episodes continued in reruns that aired on PAX Television receiver/Ion Television. Karn hosted the show for 4 years until he was replaced by John O'Hurley in 2006 and Steve Harvey in 2010.

The bear witness'due south Nielsen ratings were at 1.5, putting it in danger of cancellation in one case again (as countless affiliates that carried the show from 1999 to 2010 aired it in daytime, graveyard or other low-rated time slots). Since Steve Harvey took over the bear witness, ratings increased by as much as 40%,[33] and inside two short years, the show was rated at four.0, and had become the fifth-most-popular syndicated plan.[34] Fox News' Paulette Cohn argued that Harvey'south "relatability," or "understanding of what the people at home want to know," was what saved the show from counterfoil;[35] Harvey himself debated, "If someone said an answer that was so ridiculous, I knew that the people at dwelling house behind the camera had to be going, 'What did they just say?' … They gave this reply that doesn't have a shot in hell of being upward there. The fact that I recognize that, that's comedic genius to me. I remember that's [what made] the difference."[35]

Steve Harvey's Family Feud has regularly ranked among the meridian 10 highest-rated programs in all of daytime television programming and third amid game shows (behind Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!); in Feb 2014, the evidence accomplished a 6.0 share in the Nielsen ratings, with approximately viii.viii million viewers.[36] In June 2015, Family Feud eclipsed Wheel of Fortune, which had been on meridian for over thirty years, as the most-watched syndicated game testify on television, and consistently began ranking among the meridian three shows in all of syndication. The evidence has had improved syndication clearances and better timeslots. Information technology has been airing in early fringe and prime access slots nationwide.[37]

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

Production of Family Feud was shifted from Universal Orlando to Harvey's hometown of Atlanta in 2011, start staged at the Atlanta Borough Middle and later at the Georgia Globe Congress Middle. Harvey was too originating a syndicated radio evidence from Atlanta, and the state of Georgia provided revenue enhancement credits for the production. In 2017, production moved to Los Angeles Middle Studios (later on moved again to Universal Studios Hollywood and afterwards still to CBS Studio Center) in Los Angeles to accommodate Harvey's new syndicated talk prove Steve, returning production of the regular series to Los Angeles for the first time since 2010.[39] [40] [41] [42]

In Nov 2019, Harvey started production in Due south Africa for that country'due south version.[43] Information technology aired for the starting time time on Sunday, April v, 2020. In conjunction, a website was launched, dedicated to the region to catch upwards on previous episodes, submit entries and engage from a local perspective.[44]

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