  • So much for a family show!!

    1.0
    Be a part of the solution, don't add to the problem. This used to be a great show to watch with the family, which believe me, that isn't something you find much of anymore! Steve Harvey is very funny and I appreciate his commitment to his faith, HOWEVER, what is going on with all the sex talk??? I am NOT a prude but come I just ONCE watch television with my husband, children, or grandchildren WITH OUT sex!!!! We watched an episode last night where this young blonde girl commented that her initials were CC but her friends called her DD (double D). It was very obvious as to why because not only was her shirt cut BELOW her large (obviously paid for) breasts but she made sure you saw them by giggling and bouncing up and down to allow you to watch them wiggle! And if that wasn't enough she showed you that she could make each individual one bounce on their own. Steve Harvey of course addressed her boobs and was thankful for his job!! Then when it was her turn to the podium, she stood there and jiggled so the poor gentleman opposing her had no choice but to giggled and asked if he was distracted. I feel very sorry not only for his wife who was playing the game but for his mother who was there too!!!! This girl was obviously extremely trashy but most of my disappointment came from Steve Harvey. Where are his family values? Where are his morals? Where is his respect!!!!! This was not on late wasn't even 7 o'clock in the evening yet!!!! I can't imagine how damaging that episode alone was to young impressionable young girls. It instantly puts the thought in their minds that they have to have boobs like that, show their boobs, and draw attention to them to be considered 'cool'. Shame shame shame!!! So disgusting. My husband and I just last week looked into trying out for the show. We already had in our minds who we wanted on our team. But after reading the rules, it says to bring more players than will be on the show to the casting call because the SHOW is the one who will pick the players based on what they want for their show!!!! So this type of trash is what this show wants??? If that's the case, I am DONE watching it!!! I just don't understand why so many companies want to be simple followers instead of taking a stand and becoming leaders!!moreless
  • dirty man

    1.0
    I really love this show but that Steve Harvey is his name I think. that is on at night is dirty mouth. His dirty sayings are not funny and tonight taking about a woman's breast related it to the bible. Very uncalled for. This is not the first time he has been dirty with his mouth. He really thinks he is funny but some don't. This show was popular before he came on it and we do not need him to dirty it up. Reading some of the reviews I see I am not the only one that feels this way. He is the one that eggs the contestants on to talk dirty too. Who ever owns this TV station should get rid of him and it could go back to a nice family TV Game Show. I would rate lower if i could.

  • CHEAP!

    3.0
    The show must reap millions but usually sends families home with hundreds. And if a family is lucky to win 5 times in a row, they SHARE A . Fast money seems to intentionally prevent families from winning the big money with questions that could have a slew of answers or are so vague its guaranteed to get a how many times the top answer has close to 20 can't win. They should follow the lead of the other great games like price is right, jeapardy and wheel of fortune and make it interesting and rewarding to win.moreless
  • commercial

    1.0
    Get rid of the newest commercial. Every time it comes on I change channels. Its the most annoying commercial ever.
  • Family Feud Belongs On Black Entertainment Network (BET) Only. Why?

    2.5
    Has ANYONE noticed that over 50% of the families selected for this program are African-American. Yet they represent but 12.6% of the total countries population of 350M. Look at past programs with other MC's to see the selection numbers. You don't think Steve has anything to do with this selection process do you??? I like Steve.. He can be funny at time, but gross in others.
