Family Feud
reviews and complaints

I'm sitting here watching your show as usual. I'm totally shocked because the other family that I can't recall their name Thon (something). Anyway, they gave the correct answer which was slim and was told it was wrong, yet SKINNY was up there. Please check hippo for synonyms to the word slim and hopefully the family that was wronged can be given the privilege to return and right that wrong.

Just watched a rerun from 2013 where a contestant answered the question, "Name a profession where they have no conscience" and the person answered the police. The audience reacted badly but Steve Harvey did not. I was stunned that this was left in. They also left in the same question with the answer "teachers". Steve Harvey and the show should have stopped these answers.

I have been saddened by his use of the name of Jesus on the show. I know that he loves the Lord and this language is unacceptable. His July 3, 2020 show at 6:30PM central time, was the first time I heard him say Jesus Christ. I love and watch the show daily. No other complaints. I am offended by this careless use of the Holy name of Jesus. Please stop this on the show.

Family feud is a racist show that clearly shows there is a black team verse a white team. In today's society racism has become a conversation for huge change by making all equal. I agree with the long overdue change and think it's time that family feud gets on board. Black verse black, white verse white. Stop making it a black verse white game. It's time for change!

I'm sure this will go into a dark hole but I must complain about this. I can't believe the number of sexual questions and answers on the show. Not to mention Steve Harvey's inappropriate behavior which is sexual harassment of his guest both female & male. The way he touches himself to demonstrate sexual actions, how he eggs on the guest to engage in this behavior. I sit in disbelief as I watch this repeatedly take place. This show is no longer appropriate for families to watch. It is disgusting and it should be taken off the air. The show should be called Family Crude.

Over the past several weeks, ABC has repeatedly shown a commercial for Family Feud where the contestant is "baited" to provide an answer of punishing her husband with a "spanking".
Immediately host Steve Harvey leans in closely and asks the contestant to "spank me".
What is ABC thinking? With characters like Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer and many others being "rightfully" chastised and even prosecuted for their wrongful treatment of women, how can ABC possibly think that airing comments like the "spanking" one could ever be entertaining and/or a positive statement about a program called "Family" Feud?
Sure, kids may not be watching and that has to be controlled by parent supervision and choice, BUT when ABC allows Steve Harvey to challenge a "married" contestant to commit infidelity just for a cheap laugh...why?
I am not a fan of overboard censorship, but I do simply ask "When is this type of gutter humor going to be kept out of family programming?"
Let ABC stand up to their expected morals, show that type of humor at other times (if it has to be done at all) and with "warnings" prior to airing.
ABC, like so many other broadcasters, are showing how two-faced they can be if it helps the ratings and keeps the sponsor dollars rolling in.
Let see if ABC would ask Steve to sit back and have that same question/answer be made if Lori, Brandi, Karli or Morgan (his four daughters) were contestants.

Who the hell is in charge or this show. I really don't want to write this review but It's very clear that Steve Harvey Has a problem with people are not African American. Can you please change the host. It's very disturbing and definitely sets a bad example for how to treat people in the United States of America. I mean really! So unprofessional and if he has a problem with people it shouldn't be so apparent. Everything from his mood to tone of voice when he's dealing with people sucks. Come on Steve it must be exhausting hating so much you obviously wear your heart outside your body and it shows. People don't go on the show to be disrespected on national television. It's embarrassing and I'm from Chicago where I've seen it all but daaamn this show is uncomfortable as hell. Definitely spreads a bad message. Weird.

My husband and I watched your program that aired 3-14-20. I was a bit disappointed in your host Steve Harvey. In past programs, when it
came to the final round, Mr Harvey would put his arm around any female that was good looking and curvy. Tonight, there was a contestant
that was short and plumb (Kate). Mr Harvey did not put his arm around her. Which really gave me the creeps...only those who are good looking
get the "arm hug" as the answers are being read? Mail chauvinistic pig...or he was given instructions NOT to put his arm around Kate.

I feel that the Family Feud should make it mandatory of NO TOUCHING by Steve Harvey. It could be taken the wrong way. Save yourself some grief.Let the contestants be happy and hug and laugh...but Steve needs to stand to the side and show professionalism. Some contestants may not appreciate it either. know I would not...

New policy needs to be issued...NO TOUCHING!

Today 3/9/2020, I was watching Family feud with my 7 year old son and during a game, one of the answers was "suckel breasts" because the question was "what do men do that babies also do". This is completely inappropriate to put on a family show. This is unacceptable and very offensive. I'm extremely upset. This used to be my favorite show that I enjoyed watching with my son, but now I'm scared to watch it because I'm afraid I'll hear something else that is inappropriate.

Isn't Family Feud a family show? I get sick of Steve and his comments and how he presents himself. The amount of sexual questions and answers and the way they put the answers up is dumb and at times disgusting. There are so many other questions they could ask those 100 people instead of things involving men and women that bring up sexually related answers, and Steve's rediculous comments and actions. And I am so sick of hearing how he's our man. He is arrogant and his actions and reactions are out of control. I think you need a new host and better, more family oriented content. Until things change I'll just keep flipping the channel and going back to it until the dumb crap has stopped.

Over the past year or 2, we see a sad trend toward questions and answers that focus on sex, bowel issues, and other vulgar content. This is not necessary. For example, if the answer is "posterior" or "rear end", why must the answer say "poop factory" or worse? Why must so many questions deal with these inappropriate topics? The show's formula and history have been very successful. Question content and answers were clever, not gross. Why move in this direction?

Before Mr. Harvey took the helm, the show occasionally had a mildly risque element that was tolerable. Now, it's almost entirely risque. No longer is this a family show or even close. Some show participants have followed suit and use language so inappropriate that it's even censored, which is saying a lot given the language used in questions and answers. When that happens, Mr. Harvey seems to laugh and encourage answers of this nature. Nothing is too low-brow or crude enough to be deemed unacceptable.

It's a childish change with adolescent humor that has led this family to eliminate it from our viewing choices. It's not fun, it's embarrassing and occasionally borders on disgusting. With an aging TV audience, why put into syndication something that older viewers might find objectionable?

Mr. Harvey can be entertaining but seems to be comfortable with this disappointing change, despite saying he's a religious and moral man. He could shape this show in a direction that uses clean humor. He chooses not to do so. For that reason, we reject the show and the advertisers.

The Murphy Family's player the little older woman brought up politics, and said that basically if Trump can be President anyone can. She didn't say Trump but that's what I read into it. Especially with black racism as it is. I don't think contestants should be able to bring up politics in a game show unless a question is asked of that nature. Her name is Marilyn Murphy. And this isn't the platform for it unless you want to lose viewers.😡😡😡

To whom it may concern,
I was a fan of family feud for years. I can remember back to Richard Dawson. There was a time my schedule conflicted with the Feud & I did not watch it. I am now back to watching it since I can record it on my cable service. I would like to notify you that I am so disappointed in the crude questions that require crude answers. I do have the game that I can play with my teenage & younger relatives but I don't feel like I could even sit & watch it on tv with them. It's not a clean, fun show anymore. Is there anyway you can refer this to management & clean up this show? Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, & various other shows aren't like this. I am going to have to quit watching this if it doesn't improve.

Sincerely,

Peggy Wade

Hay why don't we as Americans not get to view Family Feud Canada and even have our own states family feud. I like family feud but I want to see Canada family feud to but I can't. I want to see Family Feud Canada in the USA and even have our own states family feud. For example you could have family feud Alaska, family feud Idaho, family feud Montana, and family feud Washington and ext. You guys could show the American version of family feud the Family Feud Canada and family feud of what ever state we live in. I think if you guys did this mor people would like it and mane view the show family feud. So I hope you get the chance to view this and take for granted of this.

I have started tuning in to Family Feud again. I like the show. I am impressed with how well everyone dresses to be on television. What I don't like about the show. Is the tacky answers on the board. I know you can't exactly stop the contestants. In the heat of the moment, it is amusing when they say something of a mature nature. I also find Steve Harvey's eye rolls, and exasperated expressions offensive. The show has lost it moral character. It is just such a contrast, to see people dressed nicely, but acting in a way that should be discouraged. I will continue to watch of course. I would love to see a likable host, who doesn't constantly say snarky comments or make faces. Steve Harvey needs to be replaced. How about Collin Mochirie? Wayne Brady? Someone adorable and funny, without acting superior.

The Hatcher Family (aired on 1/12/20) on Family Feud gave an answer that was completely wrong! The question was, "name a word that rhymes with pickle" and Chad said "Mickle" and he giggled and shook his head knowing it was a bad answer ... the audience laughed too... but Family Feud said he said "Nickle" and they won $20000. We had five people watching the show and couldn't believe it! Disappointing!

Steve Harvey is probably the best Family Feud host of all time. However the sexual contents in survey questions are too explicit, vulgar and sexually disgusting, proving the show becomes the raunchiest game show, even he hosted his own talk show and Little Big Shots, NBC was angry of him until he's now replaced by Kelly Clarkson and Melissa McCarthy.

Therefore, Fremantle and Family Feud should be announcing a beautiful white woman as the new host for year 2020. She could be Melissa Peterman, Drew Barrymore, Melissa Joan Hart, Alicia Silverstone, Jessica Chastain, Elizabeth Banks, Marley Shelton, Amy Adams, Lisa Kudrow, Carrie Underwood, Sarah Drew, Allison Pill, Kirstie Alley, Kate Beckinsale, Leslie Mann or Leslie Bibb
