Does anybody have even a rough timeline of the director changes for the '88-'95 run of the Feud?

I may be wrong, but I believe Breslow took over in '90 and Andy Felsher took over in '92.
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

Who does that leave as first director? I know I asked the question, but I thought Breslow was first, followed by Felsher (just when I don't know) and it would seem logical that Paul Alter came back when Richard Dawson did.

Although IIRC what one of our moderators said about Alter regularly cursing Dawson while trying to edit him down to make a rough cut, I don't know if Alter was all that willing to be working with Dawson again (but with Breslow gone and Andy Felsher working on syndicated "TPIR," they may not've had a choice).

Which moderator was that? I never heard Paul Alter say an unkind word about Dawson and never represented as much on this board. Howard Felsher, OTOH, was never one to keep his opinion to himself.

I was under the impression that in 1986 Alter and Breslow basically swapped shows, with Alter taking over TPIR and Breslow taking over FF. Does that sound correct? As for Andy directing FF, I can only imagine that happening if Alter and Breslow's schedules were full (Ira Skutch was gone from the company by this time), and if Goodson was disinclined to use George Choderker.

Never mind the fact that Feud was off the air in 1986 ;)

Ah, but it did return. When was that? Breslow got Classic Concentration, when would that have been?

The two Card Sharks of 86 as well as BB87 and CC were Breslow, so that means both network shows at 10:30am in 1987 and 88 were directed by the same guy.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Breslow do both Eubanks and Rafferty's CS?

Jimmy said two Card Sharks of '86 a couple posts up, did he not??

Jimmy and I both wrote our posts at roughly the same time.  He was quicker on the send button than I was.  And until you replied, I hadn't noticed that he had even posted.  Therefore my post above will be deleted in just a few seconds, and the only trace left will be your quote.  But, my countdown to 2400 remains unscathed.  :)
