Family Feud
reviews and complaints

We have watched Family Feud for years nightly. We love Steve Harvey. He's the best. However, for the past while almost every question has several sexually oriented questions which lead to sexually oriented answers. If you are targeting a family audience, you're definitely headed down the wrong path. We have just been changing the channel and tonight, May 7, we just turned it off. Unless something changes quickly, we'll just have to stop watching.

We hope you can return to your family oriented shows and avoid all the sexual innuendos so families of all sizes and ages can watch without it being offensive. If you wish to contact me my email is lainieadams1 @gmail.com

Sincerely,

Lainie Adams

I've watched family feud for a very long time and I mean a long time. Steve harvey is a racist piece of crap. I've watched 31 episodes where there was a black family versus a white family and all 31 times not once did the white family win. I'm not racist I have black friends but what is going on? I'm not the only one that has noticed this I have a petition of 63 people so far that has noticed this. I will make it to 500 signatures and when I do I will make it public. Someone there needs to take notice of this and find out what is going on.

As you can see from the other complaints listed here, Family Feud has a huge problem with respect towards women. And yet again I noticed it on an episode 4/26/2019. The question was "Name something a friend has and you think to yourself 'that's the ugliest what?" And the contestant said "girlfriend" and Steve got so passionate and excited about this answer while saying "YES YES YES! GIRLFRIEND" What the heck is this.
I'm appalled at the disrespect for women here. We should not be judged this way and the show should show some maturity in these matters. It's utterly disgusting and clearly, there are mainly men running this show who have little regard for females.

On April 25, 2019 I noticed what appeared to be a contestant displaying a possible gang sign. Photo included below. Also, on the same day but second game, a member of the Ho Family sticking her tongue out at the other family. Both of these incidents are not illegal (to my limited knowledge); but disturbing. I really enjoy watching the show, especially since Steve Harvey became the host. I don't want anything or anyone to taint his success. I just wondered if among the list of Do's and Don'ts the contestants are provided, if this behavior was specifically spelled out. If not, possibly it should be added, as some people have no common sense filters.
Concerned dedicated viewer.

Im 31 and have been a fan if the show since i was a kid. I appalled in the content you are providing for FAMILY entertainment.

One of the questions was "If you were to meet the Wizard of Oz, what would you wish for?"

I was disgusted by one of the "Survey Says" answers to say NUDE DOROTHY when Dorothy Gale the character is an 11 year old girl...

Also Judy Garland was 16 years old when she portrayed Dorothy.

Do your research, some feeding filth to the masses, and get back to wholesome, family entertainment!

Simply put, why are there so many "Black" families on practically every show, but very few Asian, Hispanic, Indian (both American and Ethnic), Puerto Rican, etc.? These people are all American citizens, probably for generations, but don't get the "preferential" treatment that Steve Harvey most certainly gets for his KIND! It's certainly obvious to everyone I know who watches the show that these "people of color" also get the easiest questions possible if they do happen to make it to the FAST MONEY round. Example from tonight's show - name a political party! Pretty hard not to get almost all 100 points out of the 200 needed on just that one alone. Why don't the producers give them the money and skip the charade?!?

One of the questions Steve Harvey asked was "Her booty was so sweet she must have sat in a bowl of _____" and the contestant had to fill in the blanks. Suppose we turn this question around and make it male specific. "His "dick" was so sweet he must have sat in a bowl of ____". Would you actually ask that on a family show on television. I was disappointed and surprised at the chauvinism of this question. It also showed me that this show has got to be run by men who insensitive to respect for women or questions about them. I would request and demand that you not put sexist questions of this nature on a family show. It was offensive to women in this day and time when we are fighting to be thought of as more than sex objects or approached as such. Then one of the constestants with the dread locks even acted out humping as if he were humping a woman. It was disgusting.

I watch this show with my 10 year old son as a way to relax and spend time together. Tonight one of the categories was top cities where strip clubs are! My son looked at me and asked what that was ! This is supposed to be a family friendly show. In the same episode another question was what do people hide under at a nude beach! Is there not enough topics that are more family friendly?!
I am very upset about this,

On the show family feud that was aired on march 4th of 2019... One of the questions was... What looks better black? Some answers were... Panties, and licorice and so forth. Then it came to the caucasian side and one of the men gave an answer black people or people, and it was actually up there for one of the right answers! Now if that same question was applied with... What looks better white... And one of the answers up on the board what people, there would have been a riot on our hands. Please explain to me how you can allow that type of question to be up there?

I am Canadian and really want to be on the Family Feud, but Canadian version, and "Friend Feud" instead. It would be so wonderful if Steve Harvey still hosted the game. That may be wishful thinking for us Canadians.

The questions could be in any fashion and us Canadians have a wonderful sense of humor about many topics.

I have some great ideas.

I am so dissatisfied with the direction of this show. I have watched over the years and have realized progressively that this is no longer a family show. Today takes the cake.
There was a question about what a wife does to her husbands face and one correct answer was ‘sit on it'. I can believe and the entire production team agreed to allow this on prime time TV.
This was in very poor taste

I love this show and we have so much fun watching as a family, but too many of the questions have sexual innuendo. One recent episode asked something where one of the responses was a threesome. My 8 year old was like, "Dad, what's a threesome"? Jesus! Why the heck am i having to talk to my kids about that because of a family TV show? It's not right and the show didn't used to be like this. There should be a billion other things we can talk about and ask questions about on the show without having to resort to adult themed topics with such graphic content. Please clean this show up and get back to family values.

I'm so damn angry... I'm watching the show on 12) 4/2018 @ 7:20 pm in houston, texas... And the question is name a busy aninal... The other family had a chance to win cause they said hamster.. They could have said bird or dog which would have been alright... But the damn answer was ant!
An ant... Tell the producers the last time I knew... An ant is an insect!
Smh! Y'all need to bring that family back! And send my [censored] a prize for pointing this out!

Whatever you do.. Fix it for that family.. I will know cause I watch the old & the knew
Come on steve!

HI...I enjoy FF but please don't use as many sex-related questios. Seems like almost every question has some degree of sexual innuendo or blatant sexual content. Young children watch this show and the sexual stuff is sometimes disgusting...Also men are definitely shown in a negative light on FF. Usually women are asked questions that pick on men. I am getting tired of this and turn off the show or change channel when these two happen.

On Tuesday, October 23rd the African American family that won showed the worst display of Sportsmanship I've ever seen on Family Feud. The opposing team were Asian and truly should be very upset. Children also watch your show and the Winning Team's actions should have been edited. That was uncalled for! All Nationalities have their own customs and should not be made fun of for any reason. Just my opinion!

I just want to say I like the show and watch it often, I just wanted to know if you guys can mix the families a bit. Everytime it's black against white. It can be black against black, white against white, and so on. Not just black and white. Thanks have a nice day. Otherwise I think the show is funny and I like to watch it often. Also sometimes they give extra time to some people than others to answer a question. I'm not racist but I noticed black families getting extra time. Thanks have a nice day.

Many months ago we submitted an audition video and all other requested information as an application to be on Family Feud. We have never received any type of acknowledgement that the video was received. I understand that many do not make it on the show, but it would be nice to know that they have received the application. I would request that two things happen: 1) acknowledgement that the application is received 2) a rejection letter if a family does not make it.

We love Steve Harvey to the moon and back. He is awesome. We watch Family Fued and his daily show. On Family Fued, please ask the producers to encourage him to stop saying, "win THEYSELF" a lot of money. There is no such word in the English language. This is a simple fix. As an educator, it is necessary for students to hear journalists and game show hosts use correct English. All students are not going to be fortunate to make it in society with poor grammar as Mr. Harvey has done. He does a lot for youth and the community. He is very impressive in his success. We are very proud and please at his philanthropy and humanitarian deeds. It is a simple request and fix to just say to the list ending audience, "Win a lot of money!" Ask him to just leave out themselves. Please help!
