Trivia:

For the 2006-2007 season, Family Feud has revamped the show with a new look, new host and a new set to celebrate its 30th Anniversary. The set is now in a round setting complete with a more traditional game board, face-off podium, and family podium. The look the show was going for is a throwback to the Dawson and Combs eras when the families posed inside a living room setting. Looking for a host with quick wit and sophisticated style, John O'Hurley was chosen as the new host.

Quotes:

Host: Name a type of fruit that is messy to eat.
contestant: Chocolate.

The 21st Century version of the feud, and it really works!

The popular family-oriented game show, "Family Feud" is back from a 4-year hiatus, and it is remade into a more stylish

form, with new set props, a new theme song that has a dance beat to it, and a brand new host to top it off. Louie Anderson, of "Coming to America" and "Life with Louie" fame, slips into very big shoes as the host of the Feud, taking over the role that was previously by Richard Dawson and the late Ray Combs. Even though the set and the host is new, the game's rules and

procedures are still the same: two families will vie against each other by answering surveyed questions. The winner of the

first 3 to 4 rounds will make it to the fast money round where two contestants will have to answer 5 questions in a matter of 25 seconds. The big prize is 10 grand.

I enjoyed watching "Family Feud" for a very long time,

from the very beginning during the Dawson years to the present day Feuds. Louie Anderson is a fine host just like his

predesesors. The only problems I have with this show are the

annoying announcer, who makes stupid rhymes about the families' names, and how sometimes the answers made by the families can be so stupid and far-fetched!! Here's a sample question: Name a superhero that wears a mask. One contestant said Super- man! What kind of a dumb response is that?! Sometimes the

answers could be so lousy I could cry!! I see it in Louie's face that even he finds that some of his contestants aren't exactly rocket scientists!
