Personal Quote:

My occupation as a game show creator/producer is a strange calling in life. However, I had visions of creating radio and television games, and so did Bill Todman, so we teamed up and took on the challenge together. We had a love-hate business partnership. If I loved an idea, he hated it, and vice-versa. If we agreed, one of us wasn't doing his job. See more »

Trivia:

Soon after his death in 1992, his son, Jonathan Goodson, took over his production company. But the Mark Goodson Productions library would be acquired by All American Communications. All American would "green light" two existing Mark Goodson classics: The Price is Right and Family Feud. In 1997, All American Communications was acquired by Pearson Television... See more »
