The game of
Family Feud features two families (five contestants each) who face-off
in a spirited competition to guess the correct responses to a popular
survey. The phrase "Survey says" was born on Family Feud and
has since become a household expression. Mark Goodson came up with the
idea for Family Feud from one of his other hit game shows, Match Game.
The
"audience match" round of Match Game featured panelist Richard
Dawson and a contestant trying to match the correct response to an
audience survey. The segment became so popular, pretty soon the survey,
Richard Dawson and the Family Feud were on the air!
Family Feud
was originally hosted by Richard Dawson and ran on the ABC Network from
July 1976 to June 1985. Family Feud ran again on the CBS Network from
1988 to 1993 and was hosted by Ray Combs.
