They don't do that anymore?

Bill23799 Nope sadly.

@@AllenMQuinn It might be a secret or something, idk. but I all I know is that I only say family feud on Hulu and didn't see them posing.

I 100 percent agree

PlanetRockJesus I've seen it maybe twice. I think the biggest reason almost nobody does it now is the concern that they could more or less hand the other family the win that way if they got it right

Isn't it counter-intuitive? You should only pass when you think you know the category better than the other family AND that the other family will not know it well enough to finish it. It's really hard to be in a position to have that much insight into the other family. Families almost always seem to pass when they don't know the category well. That seems like the worst time to pass. How are you ever going to steal the win back when you're left trying to come up with the hardest answer in a category you already didn't know well?

I say passing would have worked better if the family gets the money with the steal answer. It was done I think on the combs episodes and maybe later

The 70’s was a very sexualized era so I don’t know what you’re on about

Though I agree shows are a lot less innocent nowadays, using Dawson-era feud is like really funny to me on account that he was famous kissing all the women, and the way he comments on how beautiful they all are is still kinda creepy to me nowadays

@joswanell5792 This just tells me that you didn't GET the innuendos of the Dawson era. They were certainly there.

That was the way they all did it in the old days. It was supposed to be like a family painting. I wish they still did that in the new one.

Jimmy Durante, who was the narrator for Frosty the Snowman.

I love Willy Wonka!

I believe they did because of the 200 point rule, but I think they wanted, afterwards, it would make more sense to make it self-contained, which explains why it went to 300 points a couple of years later.

I kept thinking Garfield or Heathcliff. They were around back then.

Mary Woodruff They were. In fact, there were objections early on from viewers. ABC then asked what they preferred, kissing or no. By something ridiculous, like 14,000-700, viewers preferred kissing. That settled that! But women did have the choice. Also, I remember promos where there would be women who would just go out of there way to make a presentation of the kiss.

Contestants would state before taping if the did not wished to be kissed. Richard always respected their wishes.

I thought the kissing was creepy...

@@DS-ky9dl What's creepy about kissing? Most people do it.

I'm sorry I cannot help you. I haven't seen episodes around that era, due to GSN and Buzzr airing different groups and repeating them.

Johnny Olsen

GuitarSlayer1307 no, it's a (R) or a (C) because it's a sponsor

(X) for its movie being X-rated.

They dropped it during the Ray Combs era, but brought it back w/the debut of the current version...since Steve Harvey took over, contestants frequently exclaim "WE GONNA PLAY, STEVE!!".

I'm going to go with Karl Malden.

Nowadays Steve Harvey would be number one to that question. 😅

cat in the 9 lives commercials

+Lord Jadus Morris is the spokescat for 9 Lives cat food.

Each cat has 9 lives.

How about Karl Malden? He had a big nose.

No love for Jimmy Durante? Edit never mind he's first up there I commented before I got to that question in the vid

Not all women chose to kiss him. They were given a choice and he respected their wishes.

@@maniacaloffroad5338 Actually From What I Gathered From A KZfaq Video About Richard Dawson That Didn't Happen Until Much Later When A Nervous Female Contestant Got A Kiss From Richard Dawson When Richards Efforts To Make That Nervous Female Contestant Feel At Ease With Just Words Failed The Only Thing That Worked Was A Kiss And After That Richard Dawson Would Make It A Regular Thing Of This Run Of Family Feud

I believe he started around 1978.

I've seen contestants on Match Game run up and kiss him on the lips years before Feud started.

Dawon didnt drink. Even on Match Game when all of the celebrities got toasted during the dinner break (they taped 5 shows in a row,) RD was the only one that didn't drink.

The kissing complaints have begun already, only took until episode 2. All those females were forced to kiss him, huh Tony...

Audio Visual Proof Some women would turn so he'd kiss the cheek.

Contestants were asked if they were okay with it. It was for love and luck. So many people try to find hate or fault where it doesn’t exist. Dawson is Feud.
