Trivia

The sound effects used on this show originally were used on Showoffs. The bell clang for revealing answers was the bell which sounded whenever a teammate guessed the word correctly on "Showoffs". The dings for a #1 answer in the Face-Off, a family winning the game, and for answering the Fast Money round questions in the regulated amount of time were originally used on "Showoffs" for winning a game. The time's-up buzzer on "Showoffs" was used on this show as the strike buzzer. The time limits on Fast Money rounds were 15 seconds for first family member and 20 seconds for second family member, at answering the same five questions during the Fast Money rounds, originally.

User Reviews

FEUD IS FUN AND VERY FUNNY

This Old Classic tradition from the match game spin-off is wonderful, it has two families battle out in a survey of 100 people, to get cash and prizes, they play fast money, the host will ask the contestant five question give them five answers in 15 seconds try and think of the most popular answer, it the two get 200 points they walk away with the $5,000 grand prize or the $10,000 grand prize in the syndicated version, if they failed to get 200 points they recieve 5 dollars a point.

This is a great show, better than Louie Anderson's Revival. TV REVIEW 4 STARS.
