Lol the GSN Twitter account keeps retweeting people who love watching this show on GSN. Talk about cringe.

Really don't hate the show. But GSN is now becoming it seems the Steve Harvey channel.

I really wish GSN's Twitter would stop posting and retweeting Harvey Feud related content. They're doing this on purpose just to troll the haters, I just know it.

It's not that I hate Harvey Feud, I'd like it a bit better if it were a lot cleaner and Harvey wasn't trying SO HARD to be funny. Steve is getting over saturated in general, I know he's popular and everybody wants him to host their shows it seems like. He's got his own daytime talk show, he has Little Big Shots, he has Showtime at the Apollo on Fox occasionally. Steve should just create his own network then everybody could see Steve 24 hours a day. Getting back to Family Feud though, Mandoli nailed it. How is Family Feud a "family" show anymore? Say what you want about Richard Dawson's ego, but it was a family show when he hosted it despite the kissing which gets people so bent out of shape. Sure, Dawson probably wouldn't get away with it today, but back then the contestants for the most part seemed to want to kiss Richard anyways, especially on Match Game. He was handsome. Give him credit though, he knew when it was time to stop. Ray Combs, Louie Anderson (Meh.), Richard Karn, John O'Hurley for the most part did respectable jobs and kept it family friendly. GSN used to run Karn and O'Hurley quite a bit, especially Karn when he was getting good ratings but not at this rate. To GSN's credit, they have tried other shows, acquisitions, such as Hollywood Game Night (bomb), Millionaire (in prime time for awhile) and Cash Cab (which seems to be holding its ground), nothing quite works like Harvey Feud though. GSN isn't the only network who runs the same show over and over for 4-5 or more hours each day, however. It seems to be a new trend in cable now, on TV Land for example on weekends, Food Network at times I notice, TBS, and I'm sure there are others. I mainly watch news, sports or OTA channels for the most part, so it's not just a GSN problem for me.

I mainly watch news, sports or OTA channels for the most part, so it's not just a GSN problem for me. I removed about 80% of what you wrote, because I want to focus on just these parts. Ryan Seacrest is pretty much everywhere. American Idol. Live alongside Kelly Ripa. He's got the NYE show on ABC. This is the kind of thing that made me dislike Seacrest as a host: He's everywhere. This is the same for Harvey. If he wasn't on more than two shows, it wouldn't be a big deal. But he's on NBC five days a week with his own talk show, plus the primetime NBC show (so that's six times a week during some months). Add in Feud, and that's just overkill. I also agree on the entire last paragraph, that I kept intact. It's not just GSN, but it's a good chunk of TV these days that will air a show nonstop for hours. USA and ION, for example, air old episodes of current or former primetime shows (Law & Order: SVU). The only plus side to this is that they'll air the episodes in broadcast order. Why GSN fails to follow along with this is anyone's guess.

Steve's talk show is syndicated though I think, just to clarify. For its first season or so I think it aired on the local CW affiliate where I live, now it is on the NBC affiliate here. I do wonder if it is most NBC stations that air his talk show, while it is syndicated I believe.
I forgot to add Celebrity Family Feud, which only airs in new episodes during the Summer I think, correct me if I'm wrong.
I really never had a huge problem with Ryan Seacrest but I see what you mean. I just never noticed him that much aside from NYE and American Idol and now 5 days a week with Kelly Ripa. Not to mention, and I know this is radio, but Seacrest does the American Top 40 countdown now and also has his own radio show during the week I think still. I don't listen to either with him, but he's pretty busy himself.

Not quite sure, I haven't really kept track of Little Big Shots. It seems like a once or twice a year thing though.

For me, Harvey Feud is a microcosm of the dumbing down of society in general. Low-brow borderline "humor" combined with the host and many of the contestants butchering the English language like 3rd graders. And the general populace eats it up like a slow-acting poison. It's a continuous downward spiral.
