There's a joke about the National Anthem singer for the Philadelphia Flyers in here somewhere, but I'm afraid not enough people would get it to bother making it. So I won't. :)

No Surprise here, I'm happy with this decision.

The Feud's going back to WOIO, its home for Louie's run? It's currently on WKYC (NBC) at Noon and the double run ep. is on WVPX (PAX) at 7 PM.
WOIO needs some filler since its entire post-morning news, pre-TPiR lineup won't be around next season (Crossing Over and Wayne Brady).

Go Feud!. One more renewal and it ties the length of the last Feud incarnation, and becomes the longest running new syndie game show since the last Feud incarnation.

No, no, no...Richard needs to kiss the contestants, male and female. ;-)
Seriously, I'm happy to hear of Feud's renewal. Yes, I know, I'm the main one who always whines about how loud it is, but it's still a good game, and I'll take one of those wherever I can get one. So now, Louie has to eat his words (among other things--rimshot), as Karn will now match Louie's three-year tenure.
And now for a little ATGS retro from August 1999, a prediction poll of how long the current Feud would last...stop reading after post 7 :-P

The Bullseye round cut into the game too much. Mandel suggests on his webpage IIRC that a progression like the $otC Winner's Big MOney Game might work in Fast Money. The first crack is worth $10K, second crack $15K, third $20K, etc.

The only thing I'm hoping returns, is that the "Stolen Answer's Points added to bank" rule.

Right, and from the 1988 version up to Karn's first season, that's what happened.
But now, they're going back to the Classic format used on Dawson v1.0, where even if you stole, that answer's dollars WEREN'T added to the bank. I really don't like that.
The family that steals, regardless of format, should get the value of the answer they stole with added to the bank. It looks better that way.
-
Yes but that means that there was a decision made between the Dawson pilot and the first aired FF episode that they weren't going to put the stolen answer's value in the pot. I didn't know they had even considered it or used that rule until Combs' version.
I wonder why they changed it from the Dawson pilot.

I don't think this is quite true. In the first few years on Combs' version, the stealing team didn't get the dollar value for the stolen answer added to the bank. This change came with the addition of the Bull's Eye round.
And how does it make it look better?

Why? To me, part of being the team to steal means that you DON'T get to be the team that builds up the bank. If you want to maximize the money you make in a round, you should then elect to Play and hope you get 'em all. Part of the advantage you get from stealing is that you only need a single answer to do so, and that is tempered by building the bank being completely under the other team's control.

This proves one thing for sure - If Louie would have stayed on the show, it wouldn't have made it this far.

"BCI Communications' WGTW-TV/Philadelphia;"
That's a Philadelphia independent station, which I doubt many people watch.
Sadly, this station airs this double run during the 6:00 p.m. hour, right where...
(cue the long running "Move Closer to Your World" (http://\"http://yosanman.com/downloads/audio/actionnewsclose.mp3\") theme)
WPVI 6ABC's Action News airs, where it has always won it's timeslot. Period.

Oh, back in the day we had a troll / moron who used to post inane questions to ATGS and rec.arts.tv about if such-and-such a show was a "firm go" for a given season, did we agree or disagree that Person X would be a good host, or that a certain list of stations should carry the show. Pretty much that wording, too. In fact a Groopsgle search on the phrases "firm go" and "agree or disagree" percolate those posts right to the top.
And his piece de resistance (piece of something else, IMO, but I digress) was the suggestion that the Anthem singer for the Flyers be tapped to host some syndicated show or another.
That said, the Flyers do suck. ;)
Go Sharks! :)

Louie had a tendency to mumble his words at times, especially during Fast Money. Enunciation is a must for a game show host, esp. when money is on the line.
One thing Louie did that Richard does even worse: tries to think of a witty way to go out to commercial, tying his "ad-lib" to the previous question. I actually caught Richard cut his eyes away to think of something witty...why don't they just write something for them? :-)

My opinion that Louie wasn't good for the show is probably the same as your opinion that Louie wasn't good for the show. But just for the record, this renewal couldn't possibly "prove" one way or the other what might have happened if Louie was still with the show.

I don't like the Mo' Money Syndrome any more than you, but there's an opposite effect in play. I haven't heard a fancier name for it as applied to game show payouts, so I'll just call it inflation. Even in nominal dollars, a team that wins one game and doesn't win Fast Money walks away with less money than a team that did so in 1976, since they don't win money in the main game. Playing for $10 a point in FM or playing for dollars in the main game would solve that.
Footnote: When they went to the $300 win midway through Dawson's show, I didn't like the fact that a team would generally win about $200 less if they won three questions in a row, requiring lots of answers, than if they lost every other question and won on a triple, which usually had only three answers. If they go to dollars, they could right this by having some type of bonus for a three-question shutout. ($200 bonus, as if they'd won a triple, or just double the winnings. It would be worth it to the producers, since it results in more commercial time.)

Well, this sounds great to me. The UPN affiliate in Baltimore has had it on since day 1 in various time slots (good ones, mind you). I have only watched a handfull of episodes this season and must say that this show has vastly improved. Dumping Louie and having some kind of point goal for the main game was just what they needed.

This is wonderful news--especially on the heels of the word of Hollywood Squares' cancellation.
And I like Mo' Money. Love it, in fact. Especially when I'm winning it.

Squares pays out two grand on average to someone who doesn't win their bonus round, so raising to $10 a point is feasible and will increase the prize budget less than them raising the top prize to $20K did.

It's been discussed before, but this time, I actually agree with this, for a couple of reasons.
1. The need of a cue to tell Richard that 135 x $5 a point equals $675 would be unnecessary. Adding a zero to the Fast Money total just seems practical.
2. Winning the Fast Money jackpot is $20,000. The next highest amount you can win is $995. That's divided among five people with no additional main game winnings. I personally think that after 20 something-odd years, this should be upped.

Ever heard the phrase "It's time to finish what was started?" That's my point on adding the stolen answer's points to the bank on a steal.
You get to FINISH what the other team STARTED. This had led to many 300+ Wins on the 3 Anderson seasons, and the first Karn season, even if the One-Strike Triple Round was in play.

Dirk who works on Price and also Feud said the theme was brought back to coincide with the Family Fleece promos.
Once they were done, they dropped the theme.

Um, not on Family Feud I haven't. What I hear on Family Feud is the same thing I've heard since 1976. The other team has a chance to steal the points/money in the bank. Not add to the bank, steal the bank.
This has to be one of the best ways to phrase this argument, Matt.
The fundamental concept is sound and makes more sense. Family A builds up a bank. If they nail all the answers, they get it. If not, family B can steal their money. If Family B wants more money, don't hope for a high-valued steal to be put in the bank - buzz-in and get control.

My view of a successful steal and addition to the bank can be summed up with a hypothetical analogy.
Imagine you're stealing* stuff from someone's house. You have about $20,000 worth of jewelry, money, a TV, and September. When you're about to make your getaway, you spot a car in the driveway with its engine running and doors unlocked, so you steal that too, and it's worth, say, $10,000. Then, you sell all that stuff to someone at even price. Would you get $30,000? Of course. If you say an answer that's on the board, you should get credit for it.
BTW: Karma is misspelled.
BTW II: I only like Mo' Money Syndrome if I'm on a show it's infecting. ;-)
* - I do not condone illegal activity.

Offer five cars(which would hurt their budget I'd guess) or split a car five ways :)
They'd be better off doing a yearly TofC for the top winning families, say the top eight, and offer a jackpot that starts at $50K and goes up $20K for each FM win during the quarter and semi-finals(like what was done for the one TofC the Anderson Feud did)

And that's my point on adding the Stolen Answer's points to the bank.
Say Team A is dominating all the points after the 2 singles and double round, and Team B has ZILCH.
Say Team A managed to, in the Triple Round, nails 2 of the 3 answers, and using the current format. Say the #1 answer has 80 people (240), and #2 has 10 people (30), and they don't get the #3 answer before getting the 3rd strike. So, there's 270 up there, and a chance to steal the bank, PLUS the remaining 30 for the full 300 and the win.
If this happens, then Team B can finish what Team A started. If they managed to find the answer #3 up there, they can add THAT answer's value to the bank, and take the WHOLE Bank, for the win! This means, that after conferring, if they've found the #3 answer up there, which'll have 10 people, this means that 30 is added to the 270, for the total 300 points in the bank, AND the win.

And that's the EXACT reason why they shouldn't get credit for the stolen answer. You're basically rewarding Team B with the game for getting 1 answer for the entire show! That's why they went away from the 3x Single 1x Triple, to make the games more competitive.

I said if the CURRENT format were to apply, Not the former. That's why I specifically mentioned if Team A were to get THREE Strikes in the Triple Round, not ONE Strike.

Also it should be pointed out that RARELY are the entire 100 people reflected in the answers on the board, since an answer is not reprsented unless at least 2 people give that answer. So 300 points in a single question would be a longshot, indeed.
At any rate, it appears that GSG2K has one opinion, and one supporter, and the rest of the world pretty much disagrees, and it doesn't look like anyone is going to be swayed.

Sorry 'bout that, temporary mind lapse.
Anyway, we can't just have vehicles given away, then the families would get in their Karn leave! Commence groans now.

And probably one that they'd avoid for precisely the reason given. (If they choose all their questions in advance, they'd probably make sure it's not a 3x question. If not, they'd just make sure it didn't get used until they had a game where the first two questions are split.)
Were I the producer, I'd do exactly what I've just guessed that they do. I'd also add the points for a bank-stealing answer not because it's fair but because it potentially saves me a question and creates more ad time.
