Hard to miss a show that's on four times a frigging day...

/please pardon my cynicism...I'm just not fully impressed
//impressed, yes, but at the same time...

To be fair, I don't think Feud has had ratings this high since the Dawson era.  Kudos to Steve Harvey for bringing Family Feud back as a game show ratings powerhouse.

I went to Burger King after work Wednesday night and they had TV Land on. By the time I got my order to go, I had seen the answers "Weenie Beanies", "A Fat Doobie" and "While Doing The Nasty" revealed. That was enough for me.

/Two different questions.

That is certainly fair, but I wouldn't exactly call it a powerhouse.

Honestly...this is what bothers me more than the loaded risqué questions, the idiotic euphemisms.

I'm guessing "Weenie Beanies" is condoms?

[Thunder]

Correct. The question for those first two answers was "Name something you'd be shocked to find in your grandmother's nightstand." The question when I was leaving was "Name a time when it would be bad to call your woman by another name."

Me too. The loaded nature of some of the question can grate at times, but in all seriousness, the writers who approve of stuff like "weenie beanies" need a good stiff whack in the head with a fish.

"Doing the nasty" I could tolerate. To a point.

"Doing the nasty" I could tolerate. To a point.

At least some people talk like that some times.

My wife was flipping thru the channels the other day and she stopped at one of what now seems to be 8 airings of Harvey Feud a day.  I told her I don't watch it anymore due to all the penis answers. 

Not even 30 seconds later, the answer "PET THE PEACOCK" is revealed (don't even know what the question was -- but does it really matter anymore?). Then Harvey goes on to tell the crew that that was one of the best euphemisms used on the show thus far.

this chatter about all the airings "Family Feud" gets got me wondering how often it actually is on.  Just picking this coming monday, here is when I can watch FF in Austin TX:

11am-1pm GSN, 1p-2pm local station, 3-4pm Centric, 5-6pm GSN, 6-7pm local station, 7-8pm TV Land, 9pm-12am GSN.

Yep, 10 hours of your day, "Family Feud" is available.

Again, this whole "phallic Feud" thing is incredibly overblown. Those who are complaining now, I theorize, largely weren't watching before this alleged shift toward wiener jokes either.

I watched before, now I don't. Call it alleged, theorize all you want; it happened and though some new people are watching and the ratings are higher because of multiple airings, it is turning some people off. I'm not the only one.

You're not.  I could tolerate the constant mugging, but the middle school euphemisms are downright annoying.  And I'm a guy who likes his immature euphemisms.
