I think the UK version Family Fortunes deserves its own entry (Play Your Cards Right has an entry separate from that for Card Sharks) - how do I change it from a redirect to an entry in its own right? RobinCarmody 02:02, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. If you submit 'Family Fortunes' into the Search box, it takes you to the Family Feud page with "(Redirected from Family Fortunes)" at the top. Click on the 'Family Fortunes', and then click Edit This Page. BillyH 02:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Family Feud (Combs)/temp

A new temporary article (hence the "/temp" suffix in the title)on the Ray Combs version from 1988-1995 is now up. I figured of that version getting its own article since I'm seeing other versions of this game show getting its own article; plus there is an article on the short lived 1994 Doug Davidson-hosted version of The Price is Right. Anyway the main Family Feud page is getting too long (about 40 kilobytes), and I thought I might take the next step in article expanding (like I did in creating the Digimon: Digital Monsters (anime) from the main Digimon article in 2004). And if anyone appreciates the new Combs version article (which I hope will be pernament), the Dawson version (and possibly the current version) will get its own article. I'm also hoping by the end of this summer that I can create an article on the NBC Match Game and the short-lived 2001-2002 Card Sharks, which rules were different from the CBS and NBC versions. Okay???--Roadrunner3000 00:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

To be honest, each game show revival should never have its own article unless it's drastically different from the previous format. Such as like Break the Bank could have their own articles if needs be, but Combs' version of Feud was discernable from Dawson's aside from a minor change in format, lack of play and pass, and the Bullseye round. Otherwise it's still the same. -TonicBH 07:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sept. 2006 logo

Just to let everyone know, the logo added for the O'Hurley run of Feud is indeed the new logo. It is featured on the box for the new PS2 game and was confirmed to be the logo by someone who attended the taping. In conclusion, keep it there. It's real. ;) - Chad1m 03:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bulgarian and Chinese names

In the international versions section, the Bulgarian title was given only as "Семейни войни". Also, the Taiwanese version was 大家一起來 ("Everybody Come Together"), hosted only by "趙樹海".

Could someone provide the English name of the Bulgarian title, as well as their local names of both versions (and the Taiwanese host) in the local language, using the English alphabet? -- azumanga 06:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I added a romanization of the Chinese names. -Adjusting 21:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Karn

Did he quit or something?--Richard 16:34, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

His contract was not renewed. Lambertman 19:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two episodes each day?

On many stations showing Family Feud (such as WEAU-TV and WMLW-CA) there are two daily airings of Family Feud. Is one a repeat? If so, why is there never a repeat from the Karn seasons on? --Libertyernie2 20:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

My guess is so there is no confusion for new viewers. Crinos43 08:33, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Family Feud Set Evolution?"

Hey guys, I was wondering, since the article is becoming "very long," d'you think an article on the set of Family Feud would be appropriate? I was thinking of having it resemble the Jeopardy! set evolution article. What do you think? Green Lantern40 01:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

No, I don't think that would be needed. If the article was proofread and had a lot of the needless trivia removed, it could be far more manageable, simple as that. 68.79.132.216 06:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alright, who placed the "split" tag?

I know I didn't, but since the {{split}} tag's there, let's start the discussion. The Green Lantern 19:18, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I placed it, it needs to be split. -- Nathannoblet 04:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Independence for sections

Since sections like "International versions" and "References in popular culture" is getting too long, I was wondering if it gets its own independence from this article like "The Price Is Right around the world" and "The Price Is Right in popular culture". What do you think? --Gh87 10:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An excellent solution

I agree with your solution; let's break it up in the same manner as "The Price is Right". ProfessorPaul 03:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo of O'Hurley

Could someone capture a picture without a local logo bug inserted? If not, its not that big a deal, but it would make the page look cleaner. --Libertyernie2 23:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Splits complete

So said, so done! Worry no more, Family Feud has been sectioned into four: broadcast history, rules and production, around the world and in popular culture. You like? --Aaronhumes 04:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Umm, that was not what we're suggesting because it could ruin the main article. How about this: "around the world", "Combs", "Dawson", "Fremantle", and any other idea from somebody... And another thing, I added {{uncategorized}} in each of its spinoff. Can we merge everything you seperated back into the main article while other editors were still working on it? --Gh87 08:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
There was a "Family Feud (Combs)" article, but it was merged with this one. And I'll admit, these splits are a bit cheap and ineffective. I've rescued the date from the old Combs article; if need be, should we re-create it using the same text? Green lantern
Okay, how about this in another way: 1976, 1988, 1999, popular culture, around the world, etc. What do you think? --Gh87 21:18, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Sure, I like that idea. D'you think we could use the same text from what was once the "Family Feud (Combs)" article? Because as mentioned above I rescued it. Do you also think we should have a separate article for Dawson's 1994 return or no? Green lantern
Actually, the company did not cancel the 1988 revival until 1995, so nay. --Gh87 13:10, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
I put the rules back into the main article, minus all the fancruft. The note about the home games and the reference to that article has also been moved back from the "production" page to the main page (since the home games have nothing to do with production.) The "rules and production" page has been edited to reflect these changes. Some of these splits still need work, as they are sloppy and have unrelated information in them, stuff that is not encyclopedic and belongs on fan websites instead, etc. --Goldrushcavi 00:18, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Goldrushcavi, I hadn't meant to take the rules out of the article. Perhaps we can merge the first two articles (log all the extra stuff under each host), and keep the others separate, as I mentioned on my talk page. Sorry for taking so long to respond (Christmas/university break). Let's get to work!--Aaronhumes 21:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the $25,000 limit rule for ABC's Family Feud was opposed by ABC, because Break the Bank had a limit of $20,000
