Name something that squirts when you least expect it.  Jersey Joe and his friends play a round of the ’80s Family Feud Challenge to see why this game is still so popular today.

 

Family Feud went on the air in 1976 with host Richard Dawson.  Feud is a spin-off of the Super Match round from another popular 70’s game show Match Game, where Dawson was a popular panelist.

Dawson hosted the show until 1985.  He also returned for a single season in 1994.  Since Dawson, several other hosts have taken over, with Steve Harvey, the most recent, receiving the series highest syndicated ratings ever since he took over in 2010.

Feud originally aired on the ABC television network.  It moved to CBS in the 1980’s and has is currently seen in syndication on local stations, as it always has been.

Feud is also seen in around the world and has been named the 3rd greatest TV game show of all time.

But, once again we see how the times have changed.  While the 5 answers on the board are still correct today, there are a few more, modern answers that would have definitely made the list.

Name: Family Feud

What: TV game show

On air since: 1976

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS

I love Family Feud.  If you are a regular viewer of this blog, then you most surely know that.  This is the first time we’ve tried playing a round of the 1980’s version.  Family Feud is better as a half hour version.  The only exception where this show should air as an hour are the celebrity prime time specials.

Is the British version of Family Feud any different than the American version?  Let’s find out as Jersey Joe’s friends play a round of Family Fortunes!

Family Fortunes has been on the air in the United Kingdom from January 1980 – December 2002, and revived again under the title All Star Family Fortunes since 2006, where it is broadcast on Sunday evenings.

THE 411

Title: Family Fortunes

What: British version of Family Feud

Broadcast network: ITV

Number of episodes to date: 545

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

Les Dennis is certainly no Richard Dawson, but you know you have a good game show, when it’s super popular in other parts of the world as well.  It’s also neat to see, even though both of our countries speak English, the answers can be quite different.

I definitely want to try this again!

Jersey Joe challenges his friends to play a round from the original 1970’s edition of Family Feud.  Can they figure out what a 1970’s survey audience said, or will they strike out?  Find out in this hilarious video!

I love Family Feud.  If you are a regular viewer of this blog, then you most surely know that.  This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about the show, but it’s the first time I’ve got to challenge my friends into playing a round.  We will definitely have to do this again!
