Family Feud Episode Guide

[vahan]

I think I can narrow down the point when the Syndicated version started taping. On #77-073 (Camerota Vs. Gazin) from May 17, 1977, the microphones hadn't been replaced with black windscreens yet. On the first Syndicated episode (Noggy Vs. Benson), they were there, but the buzzers were still the original ones. By #77-119 (Murrey Vs. Baker; first year anniversary episode) from July 20, 1977, the buzzers had changed.

So the Syndicated version began production between #77-073 and #77-119. 46 episode gap.

ivoryface86 The Game Show Channel  I finished going through all of the GSN PDFs I was sent. Here's what I noticed:

In April 2008, GSN reached #81-258, then showed #82-001. So did 1981 actually have 258 episodes?

Four 1978 episodes (233-236) played on December 18. Don't know the families and airdates.

On February 14, these daytime episodes were shown. I only know the families and airdates for one.

Beginning April 04, 2009 a weekend rotation of 1978 episodes were played. I only know a couple of episodes, and I don't know the airdates.

Christmas 2009:

76-115 to 76-117 (December 22-24, 1976) were played.
77-229 and 77-230 (December 22-23, 1977) were played.
78-228 to 77-236 (78-232 was skipped). Don't know the families and airdates.
79-231 to 79-233 were played. I'm guessing they were Cusick Vs. Bosheff, Bosheff Vs. Murphy, and Bosheff Vs. Smith.

[vahan]

And it appears there may have been an error for October 11-12, 1976. Patrick Morgan said in his guide that two consecutive episodes were skipped, but actually, I think just one was skipped. October 11 was Mussack Vs. Manoff, with Manoff winning $5,256. 76-115 was Sijder Vs. Aschenbrener, and the airdate of December 22, 1976 was given away by Richard. So that means Feud had been preempted three times: October 27 and November 25-26. The final count for 1976 was somewhere from 144-146.

Go to Matt Kaiser's Game Show Knowledge and see his impressive Family Feud collection for the episodes you're looking for, almost all of the 1978 episodes are covered there.

[ivoryface86]

The one thing about you Vahan is you're looking at the pages of people's game show collections but you're not saving the pages, that's what you should've done many years ago. I also wish Patrick Morgan(aka GameShowFavorites) left his whole collection online for you to ID the episode's families. The collection you're seeing these days is NOT his whole collection.

[ivoryface86]

We should've said the same thing for Game Show Channel as well when we began this thread.

I didn't know about all of this stuff back in the 90's/early 2000's, such as the ABC episode formatting, like I do now. By the time I did, which was in 2008, the pre-1980 episodes were no longer rerun on a regular basis.

Oh yeah, sorry for forgetting.

Why are there gaps in 1977 episodes? Did GSN skip bunches of them? Also, I'm watching Telles Vs. Stone and it can be confirmed that it is #77-165 from September 22, 1977. There are promos for Barney Miller and Carter Country at the end, and while I can't speak for the latter, that is "Goodbye Mr. Fish: Part 2" for the former.

Then why did you leave the Game Show Forum, Vahan?

[aaaa]

People got on Vahan on GSF for talking about game show minutiae, and compared him to me in a few posts, IIRC, and that was not a totally fair comparison to make.

[vahan]

Moving on from that, Here's the 1976 section.

markgoodson.fandom.com/wiki/Family_Feud/Episode_Guide/1976_ABC_episodes

[vahan]

ivoryface86 which episodes were these?

77-049
78-033
78-222
79-042
79-080
79-244

[ivoryface86]

I'll help you with these Vahan:
79-230: Cusick vs. Stork
79-231: Cusick vs. Espinosa(the episode where the Fast Money is played on cue cards)
79-232: Cusick vs. Bosheff
79-233: Bosheff vs. Murphy

[vahan]

Thanks. So would the airdates be December 19-21; 24, 1979? I think Bosheff Vs. Smith was Christmas Day, right?

I think 77-049 might be Matheney Vs. Lawson, but I'm not 100% sure.
