Remarkable feat by the Smiths. Did that ever happen on the current version where a family won Fast Money for five episodes in a row? (that would be over $100,000 in winnings if my math is correct plus the car)

I don't think so. It's much harder to win Fast Money on the new version even looking back to Louie. It would be exactly $100,000 since the show doesn't give $$$ for the upfront game. This stopped in the last season of Combs version
Steve Harvey once mentioned that if that were to happen, a $50,000 bonus would be added. He mentioned this on one episode after a family went 2-2. I don't know if this was a "Rafferty type executive decision" on his part or there really is something in the bylaws of the current Feud

There actually was a time where a family had a chance to win $150,000, one, with the Bullseye game but that was when the current version's fate was starting to take the show off the air as the ratings for this show are near rock-bottom because of it and the 2 other times were with the Publisher's Clearing House Bonus Week, where they bring back several families from Steve's tenure in prior seasons dating back to his very first season. When Steve took over, the ratings were still rock-bottom even after the move to the eastern time zone location to go with it as well as yanking the Bullseye game, which probably what made this show's ratings sink to the bottom of the barrel. The host and overhaul set changes weren't the issue.

1) What was the thinking behind going from dollars to points in the maingame? 2) Did it become harder to win Fast Money because the answers are worth fewer points or because the families do a lot poorer at it than they used to? I know from when I used to tune in that the maingame can't be won on the double cause if a family sweeps the first two questions that they lower the worth of the double. You'd think Steve could vamp like Dawson and Combs used to do when that happened. I don't think so. It's much harder to win Fast Money on the new version even looking back to Louie.

for the 2nd question, I think it's a little of both. I think now they setup fast money so it is impossible to win solo. I don't think there has been a solo win ever since the show came back in 99, of course I don't follow feud that much anymore. I do know a couple occasions that it has been possible to win the game after the double round but that adds stalling and weird comericial added, which could very well be negated if the feud added a break in between rounds 1 and 2.

Actually, there was a time where a family won the game after the Double point value question, at least 5 times during Richard Karn's tenure, after the move to Tribune Studios, that is, and the last time that occurred was in FF06-005(Houston vs. Casey), in all of these, the Fast Money game was split into *2* segments. Should David Heller upload that episode, this will be the 4th time he's uploading it. Sam Mitchell's copy is sourced from GSN. David Heller's is sourced from Original Broadcast.

How are you able to find this information?

The website I linked to. Reach the available pocketpiece ratings.

So according to the one I clicked on for the week of October 1, 1978, the papal funeral mass for Pope John Paul I was held on October 4th from 11 am to 1 pm ET. This was on the second to last page. That means in addition to the Feud pre-emption, $20,000 Pyramid and Ryan's Hope weren't seen either. Wheel of Fortune wasn't seen on NBC nor was the 2nd half of The Price Is Right.
Part of what confused me originally was that the website said for the weeks ending on October 8th and 15th, but the actual report is labeled October 1st. I think I can read this now. I'm going to guess this pre-emption affected all markets or at least most. We've been missing a pre-emption in 1978 between August 23 and November 3; it looks like we found it. This also means that the claim on the guide from $20,000 Pyramid claiming no pre-emptions in 1978 or 1979 is also incorrect. This would likely impact the total number of episodes over there as well.

Actually, The $20,000 Pyramid wasn't preempted all through 1978. Its final episode was #1580 (25 preemptions in total). I know this, because that was what was said on a slate on a copy of the finale I've seen years ago (take my word for it). I don't think it was a mistake. Which is why I said that some of the dates were actually preempted nationwide, others weren't.
So now, the question is, which of these dates I mentioned were actual nationwide preemptions, and which ones affected many markets, but not the entire country. See how confusing this is? That's why I don't think we're done yet.

If only the other dates had those bulletins like the one for October 4, 1978. That would be a better help.
Also, any idea what the (B) next to some of the entries means?

Can you point out what you mean by (B) next to some of the entries? Give me an example of one.
