Family Feud $60,000 question? (Karn, O'Hurley, or Harvey)

[emerilzap]

Did you read my first sentence? By the way the $20,000 jackpot started during Anderson's Feud



The version that I have seen in which a family won 6 times was Dawson's daytime version.

It was louie anderson's request due to inflation and most importantly Nighttime Million Dollar game shows.
they were hot at the time.

Still, $20,000 sounds like a lot but isn't much split between five people, if a family even wins the $20,000.

Who knows, a family could not split it, put it in a joint savings account, or spend it on building a house addition, getting a boat or building a pool. Just examples.

I think when they added the Bullseye game on Combs' Feud, they also added unlimited returning champions. It is possible that a family could have won over $60,000 back then.

Unlimited? I'm glad they don't do that anymore. I haven't seen too much of Combs' or Anderson Feud to this day, but I'm glad they limited it to five, because a lot of people don't want to see the same family keep coming back.

No way that would happen on a CBS show. The limit was always 5 days.

Combs had a CBS run and a syndicated run

Doubt CBS has a huge rule on limiting champions. But I have to defend your statement with Million Dollar Password in 2008, where after they had won they round and the money they wouldn't return, unlike the original Password and the Password Revivals.

Do you know the difference between Million Dollar Password and all of its' predecessors? Give up? All of the predecessors were daytime shows and allowed for multiple games by one player. Password Plus per NBC rules at the time allowed seven games. MDP was a win or else one shot for a lot of money (just like Millionaire and almost all of the other shows, save for Twenty-One.) Now, Feud88 was talking about the rules as they existed in '93. Keep in mind.....those rules don't exist anymore. But the rule in '93 was 5 days or $75,000, whichever came first.

I am not asking for very much from you or other posters. I'm just asking that you do your homework and think before you post. It will make you look a lot better in our eyes if you do.

It doesn't matter. CBS could have kept it the same where they had returning champions, but the gameplay was also much slower than the other versions. They probably had a big enough casting call where they needed to move on.

Talking about splitting the cash...how does an extended family of 5, frequently including in-laws and cousins, split a CAR?

Maybe the car goes to one of the five members, and then whatever other cash they had (a good amount since they played 5 days) will go to the other four family members.

Combs had a CBS run and a syndicated run

And both had a 5 day limit.

Well if champions winnings exceeded CBS' set limit, then the contestant would be retired once the limit was reached and anything that exceeded would go to a charity of the contestant's choosing. The amounts varied over the years and I believe the cap was $50,000 at the time of Combs Feud, so I don't think there were any problems there.

On this episode the family is appearing for the 6th time.

I've seen this on Harvey Feud where a family was a 5-day champion and they lost but the judges welcomed them back because they ruled it was unfair, and "technically" they were on Feud for six days.

Uhhhh.....what?! They can't be five-day champs and be welcomed back for anything.
