Cancel "Family Feud" Already

Richard Dawson is still with us as far as I know. The only Family Feud host that has died is Ray Combs.

Anyways, this is not the first time that a risque question has been asked on Family Feud in its 35 years. Remember the infamous Dawson episode in Fast Money where he asked the lady "In which month does a woman starts to show when she's pregnant?" to which the lady replies "September"?
 
There's several answers besides "privates."
If you've seen the show since the 1970s, then it can't be a surprise.
If they had asked "Name another name for your genitalia," then that might have been a bridge too far[/b]. Plus, there'd be 100 different ones, no answers would have more than two responses.
 
I agree w/ the OP. If I watch any part of the modern one, it's only Fast Money.

That was more like a lady giving a dumb answer rather than a risque question.
 
Oh no, a poster on an Internet board has a problem with a show. Quick...cancel it for the remainder of this season as well. Plug in reruns of I've Got a Secret come Monday. Oh, the humanity. :)
 
I am not a big fan of Steve Harvey, but he has loosened up and gotten funnier since he
started. At the start it was like he was riding a bike backwards.
 
Nothing apocalyptic there. Cheers to Steve Harvey for good improv off some of the weirdest commentary uttered by a contestant (Britney). Jeers to the Hackney family for the thumbs down gesture - probably done in jest, but just seemed unsportsmanlike. Andre the Giant would be turning over in his grave.

Then why waste a post?? Like we've said before: unless you have something worthy to write, then don't write anything.

Back on-topic: Steve Harvey is what has kept Family Feud from being cancelled. In fact, he's rejuvenated the show to the point that it's been renewed for three more years and has gotten time upgrades in several markets. So, Diamond Joe, what was that again...?
 
I would watch "Match Game 2012" if it actually was in the vein of the 1970's show, unlike the horrific 1998 version.

At least the answers given made sense. Almost every episode of Family Feud has completely idiotic answers.

Example: Name a famous or fictional Willy. Answer: Willy the Pooh.

Oh, bother!

Those on the blooper videos are classic!

There are two idiotic "Feud" answers that I know I watched, yet I cannot find them on YouTube or any bloopers:

(1) [during the Combs era, Fast Money]

Q: How much would you tip a skycap at the airport?
A: [apparently the contestant thinks a skycap is something you wear] 45 degrees.

(2) [during Dawson comeback season 1994-95, Fast Money]

Q: Name something that weighs more than a ton.
A: Two tons.

IIRC, there was this one from the original Dawson era:
Name a part of the mouth. One contestant, thinking
Dawson said "mouse," answered "tail."

As for the woman who said "September" in answer to
the "month in which a pregnant woman starts to show,"
maybe that's what happened to her. I don't think that
question was intended as risque either.
 
Feud's producers should try more often to intertwine two threads of ridiculous. This is practically a pre-written Family Guy skit.
