Ray Combs Family Feud Question

[GSRebich]

Since Family Feud is a Goodson-Todman game show and the Ray Combs version was made for CBS (the daytime version), then how come it didn't use the same sound effects from The Price Is Right?

The reason I'm asking this is because most G-T game shows on CBS from the 1970s and 1980s used those sound effects.

My guess is the SFX used on Dawson's version were a little more unique, more distinct, unlike other revivals that aired on different networks (Card Sharks for example). Something like the CBS bell would sound odd for a correct survey answer, compared to the <CLANG!> that's used to this day. Same goes for the more "hollow" sounding CBS buzz.

What's the extent of the Price Is Right SFX, though? The CBS ding and their own buzzers?

Now You See It used a couple of Classic Concentration FX, which if I'm not mistaken originated on Trivia Trap, right? Pretty sure I'm in Proof or Not Real territory here, because it seemed like the sound effects crossed over from Goodson show to Goodson show regardless of network. The only exception IIRC is where the NBC bells were used (like on Card Sharks and CC, even MGHS).  And if I'm even less mistaken, even those were used by CBS at least once (Pass the Buck).

More or less, although the Pathfinder wrong step SFX was also used on Trivia Trap. One of the answer reveals from TT became the Fast Money reveal sound, so like you said, it may very well be just a Goodson thing, not so much network.

Interesting to ponder: the "wrong answer!" buzzer from Wheel of Fortune was also the time's up buzzer for High Rollers; the correct answer sound from Wordplay takes sounds from Sale of the Century and Hot Potato; and the time's up sounder from New Battlestars was re-purposed as the third stopper for Scrabble.

Closer to the actual point, the familiar "right answer!" bell was originally (wait for it!) a right answer signal on Showoffs, just without the mechanical "clack" sound of the panel flipping over because there wasn't a panel to turn. As to why sounds sometimes moved from network to network, and sometimes they didn't, I couldn't tell you.

EDIT: Corrected the buzzer situation for High Rollers.

Maybe it's just me, but a couple of the bells used on ABC Password certainly sound like they were re-purposed for FF. The bell used after "The password is..." (and to reveal the Lightning Round words in 1974-75) sounds like the one used for Fast Money, and the higher-pitched bell used after a correct guess in the Lightning Round (and after a correct preliminary round guess in 1974-75) seems to be the same as the one used on FF when tallying the $5/point total.

I'm very sad that the Password 75 contestant pop-up SFX was never reused

Actually, just the 1978-80 version--the 1974-76 version used a different buzzer if no one answered the question.

And the SFX where the word popped up on SP (before they had Gene announcing it) came from HIT MAN (during the Round 1 race).

And with the Star Words pilot up, we have Feud's buzz-in and Fast Money reveal effect, for a pilot that taped while Feud was still on ABC. It also used the standard Goodson/CBS right answer bell and MG7x buzzer.

The SFX used on syndie TJW's Beat the Devil round got around quite a bit too...

And the TPIR klaxon (or the "you really lost" buzzer) if you ran out of time in the endgame.

Although, CBS already had FF's buzz-in in place, as CHILD'S PLAY used it in the Fast Play round.

I also noticed on the Feud pilot that when the Bullseye board came down, they re-used the same sound effect from MG90 when the Star Wheel came down.

The "#1 answer"/"banking money"/"finished Fast Money before time's up" chimes from Family Feud were also used when someone won One-on-One in TTTT90, no? 

I think the face-off buzzer was used to indicate a wrong answer on some Goodson show...can't quite remember...

Yep, Penny Ante, and Double Dare '76 (on DD, it was available at two different pitches....listen carefully...) 

As per Buzzr's Lost & Found, I think it was TKO that used Hot Potato's correct answer chimes (as opposed to the brief time when HP used the Sale of the Century "ding" for correct answers)

"Suspiciously Similar Music." Even TV Tropes went away from using Mr. Hart as the namesake.
