I so appreciate this compilation of Family Feud. When my dad would come home for lunch we would watch it together and play along. Thank you! Some fond memories!
National Lampoon put out an album "That's Not Funny, That's Sick!" not too long after, and one item was game show where a man was asked to name four famous Mickeys. The "contestant" may have been voiced by Bill Murray, and gave out "Mickey Way" for the fourth. Discovering this episode...now I know where National Lampoon got the fodder for that bit. th-cam.com/video/sb7U9t-vRs0/w-d-xo.html
Some contestants were way over the top on the early episodes for some reason. They seemed to mellow out as Dawson's run went along. Also, Dawson used to remain on stage with the winning family after fast money. If they won, Richard would be grabbed and squeezed by the happy family. He learned later on to keep his distance lol.
It’s weird seeing Richard Dawson not doing his trademark kissing. You can tell he’s new at this and still trying to get his bearings. They don’t even have the contestants shake hands at the podium before he reads the question.
Richard called for 3 seconds and he said Rye bread just before the 3 seconds were up. Then since he made it in time, it was not on the survey and struck.
cartoonfan29 During the E! True Hollywood Story years ago. I think it was Cathy Hugart Dawson that said there were some real family feuds back stage with some families mad over not winning the money or saying a dumb answer.
Thank you for posting a bunch of Richard’s early episodes! I really do enjoy him. Can’t watch the Feud these days it’s just not the same. Steve Harvey is a great comedian, I greatly enjoyed his sitcom but I just don’t think he’s a great fit for the Feud. I do have to say what the hell is up with this Chuck Wollery commercial!? Holy damn that’s bizarre!! I enjoy some of his stuff too but never thought I’d see him do a commercial like that 😮
There wasn't a triple point round during the early seasons of the show since the requirement to win was only 200 points. They changed it to 300 points in 1979 and added the triple round to help families reach that (higher) goal.

That's almost blooper reel-worthy.

(9 years later …)
I saw it on a reel just this evening. 😂
This was so akward. But they eventually pulled it together. I love Family Feud.
I would've said Mr Ed too and I'm only 33, wasn't even alive when this episode was filmed lol I did have a weird taste in shows growing up though
kitkat84 So do I. I'm 43, as white as white bread can be & I've been addicted to The Jefferson's for as long as I can remember lol
The lady that screams non stop since the last episode thoughhh

This was such a fun show and im from the uk this is great i love richard
When he said shrubbery, did anyone think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
A SHRUBBERY!!!!
Yesterday my son said “A Herring!!!” In a Monty Python voice, we like Monty Python in our family.
Gene Wood. The announcer of the show.
seems they need to get the bugs out of their game board.
This heavily reminds me of the yodel guy from the price is right
They should have won that one. I say the survey was wrong!
You do realize this was 1976?
I feel they cheated 😔

funny how at 8:15 the striker gave them two strikes
I wonder out of the 40 years of family feud was there ever was good old fist fight that almost happend or happend on the show

Yes, only between Howard Felsher and Richard.
Great , no kissing!
The wife should have been in the final
Yeah, she gave great answers and saved them multiple times in the game.
Richard Dawson must never have heard of the Pig Bowl.
“…but who wants an exposed blintz, I always say.”
Pfahahahaa! I sure love how quick witted Richard always was.

Interesting that the question is not do they want to "play or pass," it's do you want to "play or force."
Wow, the blonde family looks like a group of big boys, but then the other guys are huge.
Mickey Way is one of my favorite guitarists and songwriters. Of course, he took his name from this episode...
What about the Levy family having to answer the question about slang words for policeman? Awkward. 😲😲
ABC Television Center in Los Angeles, had this game show. ABC used to have morning game shows, before talk shows started.
I had to Google the Mickey Finn one. Still have no idea who he was.
Funny how the fast money questions were very basic.
Yet I thought they really had it this time. Do you think 'eyes' would have done it for the last answer?
Kids today don't know Rin Tin Tin.
Kids today wouldn't know the majority of the animals on that list! This was back in 1976.
Those blond dudes are all hot
What happened to name a fruit that begins with the letter a episode? Arange
Best ever
Gene seems a bit more upbeat in these early episodes.
National Lampoon took the well-known "Mickey" and used it in their album "That's Not Funny, That's Sick" a year later.
Interesting, two Doubles...Triple was next usually.
Back then the winning total was 200
Name a famous animal mr ed lol
My Answer To Name A Famous Animal Would Be Snoppy
Shamu should have been on there too
Surprised that Bambi's not a animal star! What's up with that?!
Bambi was a cartoon, not an animal.
when did the triple come in to play
There wasn't a triple point round during the early seasons of the show since the requirement to win was only 200 points. They changed it to 300 points in 1979 and added the triple round to help families reach that (higher) goal.
One of the weirdest feud's
omy goodness. what did somebody do to mr love connection? WOW.
Gene? Who's that?
How was Bambi not there?! Who were these people?? 😮
milky way :)
They're from Laguna Beach, and I'm the Pope.
Good morning, your Pontifness 🙏
My son lives in Laguna Beach.
A Jewish FOOD?!? 🙄🙄🙄
