Family
Feud Premiered
Family Feud is an American television game show created by Mark Goodson where two families compete
to name the most popular responses to survey questions in order to win cash and
prizes.
The program premiered on ABC on July 12, 1976, and ran
as part of its daytime schedule until June 14, 1985. The program was
re-launched by CBS on July 4, 1988, and ran
until September 10, 1993. Three separate editions for syndication were also produced. The
first aired from September 19, 1977 to September 6, 1985. The second aired from
September 19, 1988 to September 8, 1995. The current syndicated series
premiered on September 20, 1999.
The ABC network version of the show and the first syndicated series were
hosted by Richard Dawson.
Ray Combs hosted the CBS series and the first six
seasons of the accompanying syndicated version, then was replaced by Dawson for
the final season. The 1999 syndicated series has been hosted by Louie Anderson(1999–2002), Richard Karn (2002–06), John O'Hurley (2006–10), and Steve Harvey (2010–present). Announcers
for the series have included Gene Wood (1976–95), Burton
Richardson (1999–2010), Joey Fatone(2010–15), and Rubin Ervin (2015–present).
The program has spawned multiple regional adaptations in over 50 international markets outside the United States. Within
a year of its debut, the original version became the number one game show in
daytime television; however, as viewing habits changed, the ratings declined.
Harvey's takeover in 2010 increased Nielsen ratingssignificantly and eventually
placed the program among the top five most popular syndicated television shows
in the country. In 2013, TV Guide ranked Family Feud third
in its list of the 60 greatest game shows of all time.
