    What the title of the show means, it is a family (5 members) of a adult family who plays against another family ( adults again). Not that the show is rated for family ( all family members including children) such as movies are rated PG. Get the point !!

    Steve Harvey is a GREAT HOST. First of all how many kids actually watch games shows and listen to the questions anyway? They hear worse than the word hell on cartoons. Get real. And then Richard Karn, what a total feakin' idiot. Where did they find this guy. I just turn the channel when I see this guy on. He makes me sick. he is so fake. " Hey I am gonna double the points, just because I can" NO dumbass you are going to double the points because that is how the game works. He is a loser. Glad to see someone with some real humor and character like Steve finally.moreless

  • One of my favorite game shows to watch

    This game show has been around since 1975 which is a very long time. I just hope that this game show never gets cancelled. My only gripe about the newer episodes right now which has Steve Harvey as the host is that fact that they don't really keep it kid-friendly. Like Steve Harvey will say a sex joke or one of the questions will be about a sex joke. I mean, I don't have a problem with sexual humor since it can be very funny some of the time and some of Steve Harvey's sex jokes are funny but I don't feel like this game show is kid-friendly like it used to be. For example, when Richard Karn was the host for the show... it was very kid-friendly and fun for the family to watch. John O' Hurley being the host of the show back from about 2006-2010 made the game show kid-friendly and it was fun. Well yeah, either way... even though it's not as kid-friendly as it used to be... it's still a super fun game show to watch and I've even played the computer game of "Family Feud" which is fun as well. Some of the questions that they ask can be very tricky sometimes. I'll usually get at least most of the questions right or maybe some. I don't know but my point is that this is a fun game show to watch if you're ever up to watch something on television that's fun. This game show still remains as one of my game shows to watch and I'll ever watch it when nothing is good on television and if it's on the Game Show Network of course. Overall, "Family Feud", despite it not being as kid-friendly as it used to be, is a very fun game show to watch with terrific hosts for the game show as the years are going by. 10/10moreless

    What a neat concept! Great minds think alike on this show... or not... but I love how the games are never boring and when you go up on the buzzer... woo! Exhilarating to watch!

  • Are any of the writers for this show over 12?

    I'm not a game show person, but I've always liked this one..ESPECIALLY now with Steve Harvey as the host cause he always has me laughing. What I don't like is that ever since Steve began hosting the show, THE WRITERS (NOT STEVE), have come up with all these sexually based questions. I mean they can be fun, I'm not against it at all, but they just waaay over do it. Every other question is sexual. It gets monotonous at times. Almost feels like I'm sitting in a room with a buncha little kids giggling over a dirty magazine. Grow up a little guys. And I'm sure they just see it as material for Steve to work with being the comedian that he is, he will deliver jokes and have his reactions which will get a rise out of the fans and bring in ratings. That's all good, but Steve can work JUST as well with any material you give him to work with. It's still a great game show though. Lotsa fun trying to see where your answers will rank on the board...that's if they're even up there. :)moreless
