[edit] spinoff

I would seriously question whether Family Feud is a spinoff of The Match Game. Inspired by, perhaps; derivative of, maybe, but I don't think that it's a spinoff, which implies that it started as a segment or element of The Match Game and then became its own show, rather than that it is a similar show based on a similar concept.

[edit] The "gimmick"

Bill Cullen often brought out what he would refer to as a "gimmick", which was usually a mechanical toy. Just how frequently this occured, and whether it was primarily done to pad out a show which was running a little short, I don't know. Does anyone else out there (that small subset who remembers when dialing a phone call entailed the use of an actual dial) remember this or know more about it? Rlquall 17:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tpir56.jpg

Image:Tpir56.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
