One of the best parts about watching Direct TV is the tremendous amount of the old game shows that are available. I really like catching old episodes of Family Feud. Starting with Richard Dawson and running through Ray Combs, louie Anderson, Richard Karn and John O’Hurley, this series has prevailed despite the ever changing shift of the host.
Two families are paired off in competition, with each trying to guess the results of a survey given to 100 people. It starts with a face off where each person tries to beat the other to the punch after given the question. The first one doesn’t always give the highest rated answer however. The winner of this showdown is then given the option to pass or play. Many times the family that plays only gets one or two more answers right, (before 3 strikes or misses) giving the competition the chance to ’steal’. If they then get one more right, they win the entire pot that has accumulated.
Once a family wins $300, they have a chance to play for $20000. Two people are selected, with one offstage in a soundproof booth. They each then guess at another survey with the goal being 200 points total between them.
It is often hilarious to see some of the answers posed when an alternative can’t be thought of quickly.

“Family Feud” was a great game show in the old days, now we have “who wants to be a millionaire”`*,
