All the surveys, Fast Moneys, and GSN marathons started with this singular show in 1975. Still hosted by Richard Dawson, but with several noticeable differences - particularly the rather hokey-looking set.
This is far from the first time this pilot has been on RU-vid, but this copy is very easily the best quality I've seen of this.

The Speir family would compete on a Family Feud episode in 1977, where Richard introduced them as one of the pilot families 'whom helped get this show on the air.'

Woodie B. Thanks for that Woodie. I was wondering if either or both families would get to compete again, since the Speir family originally didn't get to come back as the reigning family. Do you know if that episode is on RU-vid?

Whoa.. isn't the tango a dance? I would have thought it would be included in the dance response.

@brklyn345 Год назад

Tango is a dance, but I'm guessing it was included in the context of the famous saying "it takes two to tango", which usually isn't used in reference to the dance itself. The only example I really know of where the saying applies would be when one spouse cheats on the other. Whether it's the cheating spouse to blame, or the one he or she is cheating with, neither one are acting alone, thus "it takes two to tango".

@erikdraven1731 Год назад

That was the Feud's 3rd run. Its second run ran from 1988-1995 with Ray Combs (1998-1994) and Dawson's return (1994-1995). The first run (1976-1985) only had Dawson hosting.

William Shatner came close, and Goodson definitely wanted him. Joe Namath was the one that producer Howard Felsher wanted to host the 80's revival, but Goodson had second thoughts and didn't think he was the right fit. Ray Combs got the job; he was Goodson's choice and he was very loyal to Ray.
