After having left network TV (and syndication) in 1985, Family Feud returned to network TV as a replacement for the $25,000 Pyramid (which was bought back in the spring after Blackout was canceled).
The syndicated version - which, like the network version, was hosted by Ray Combs - would air later that year. Combs would be replaced by Richard Dawson for the syndie show's final season.
Of course, Feud wuuld return in 1999 and is still going strong today with Steve Harvey in syndicated, with a summer celebrity version to boot on ABC.
