Has Family Feud become too sexual for family-friendly viewing? - Page 3 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I wish they had 2 shows. One during the day that was family-friendly and one at night that people who like a more risqué version could watch.

My favorite host was Ray Combs (RIP). I think Steve Harvey is okay, but I don't like the raunchiness. I saw an episode a couple weeks ago and one of the answers was "crotchless."

If it isn't the show itself the ads are just as bad with KY products and couples talking about what they do, ED pill ads, and ads for feminine conditions I won't go into (it is a "dry" subject).

The questions have been dumbed down with sexual innuendo but also made almost too easy with "name a room in the house" or "name a color" that only has maybe 3 possible answers. I saw one question that the players combined got like 80 points off that one question.

I also hate sudden death where a family answers 20 times and leads like 295 to 0 and the family with zero wins on a fast buzz in for a question a zombie could answer.

I was told that Steve Harvey has in his contract that there has to be at least 1 African American family on each show, not sure how true this is but it seems like there is 1 on each show. . . . . . .

That wouldn't surprise me.

Why I think Family Feud changed it's image was because when Steve Harvey made his debut as host of the show Family Feud wanted to get a more bigger audience and with Steve Harvey as host they wanted to bring a comedic style to the show. If you ever seen Steve Harvey's comedy shows you might've noticed that they have a lot of appeal to adults and so when Steve Harvey was chosen to host Family Feud they brought some of the comedic style that Steve Harvey has. But I do think Family Feud could use improvements such as having family friendly surveys and a family friendly appeal. And that should make Family Feud get bigger ratings in TV
