Yesterday's Harvey Family Feud

[Xavier1989]

On a first run episode Yesterday, the question was "Name a Job that requires you to be on your knees". Now back then, if the obvious answer was brought up, the answer on the board would probably say "Prostitute". But this is Adult Feud after all:

It seems the writers are going for answers that will get them more press on Youtube. Not a bad idea of course, but remember, you have kids watching and you are rated PG.

But Steve's response to the answer was pretty hilarious. "What kind of hood game is this?".

Does this mean Santa Claus's infamous laugh is deemed controversial nowadays?

I agree, "prostitute" sounds more politically correct, and always will be. I'd rather watch Richard Dawson's Feud way more than Harvey's version. Even better, I'd rather watch Ray Combs' version more, but sadly, it's no longer on GSN. But at least Dawson's kissing of female contestants doesn't offend me as much as the content on Harvey's version.

Uh, when they are using it to describe a Prostitute, it is controversial to be on "Family" Feud.

Yes, I guess this content being used defeats being called "Family" Feud.

Seriously, what's the point of calling the show Family Feud if it is no longer family-friendly?

Then again, controversy does sell.

Ok, yes I agree the show goes over the line now and won't watch nor will I let my 7 year old watch because of it. That said, it's not now nor has it ever been called Family Feud because it was supposed to be family friendly. It's because there are 2 Families battling each other on the show. I'm sure I'm just stating the obvious but no need to have people thinking something that was never intended.

Yes, and there was even one young boy on Louie Anderson's version who guessed a sexual body part to a question (it started with T, and had nothing to do with a female). The boy struck out, and so did the other player in the face-off. After both players failed, Louie threw out the question and went to a new question during that time. Yes, that goes to show that even kids sometimes utter answers that can be adult content sometimes - also goes to show how well-educated those kids can be sometimes.

Sign of the times, it seems.

You mean "ho ho ho"? No, not on your life. (EDIT: When it's used to describe Santa, of course.)

Funny you mention it, because just now on $25,000 Pyramid, one of the categories was, oddly enough, "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

And even weirder, one of the words involved in that category was "Hood".

Back then, they planted those things in clues but just didn't speak about if or express it as much
