Family Feud-Karn Season 1-Up TV

[gsfan85]

Hey everyone,

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but scrolling around the channels this morning, I found Richard Karn's first season of Family Feud airing on Up TV. 

It looks like they air a mini-marathon of episodes 7 days a week in the morning.

I don't think this season has aired anywhere else in quite some time.

Yes, I saw it as well (UP TV just started airing Karn Feud on Memorial Day), and for the record, UP TV does air the original credits full-screen and intact (unlike when GSN re-dubbed the credits over a black screen), and after the Tribune logo, the new Fremantle logo is shown instead of the 2002 one.

Before anyone gets their hopes up about this, apparently UP TV has run just two weeks of shows so far, which are a Soap Opera Week (Young & Restless vs. General Hospital) from Nov. 2002, and a Champions On Ice week (with famous figure skaters such as Dorothy Hamill and Brian Boitano) from Feb. 2003. Why these two weeks are being run into the ground, I have no idea.

Village People vs. Disco Divas today

^Yes, that is a new week (for UP TV). Thanks.

I think it's safe to say that UP TV is only airing episodes from special theme/celebrity weeks. Day 1 of Firefighters Challenge week from Nov. 2003 (Karn's second season) aired today.

Glancing over a list of theme weeks, I know of one that they won't air. If for some reason Up finds the Playboy Week to be fit for air, I may laugh until it hurts. If they air the Divorced Couples weeks I'll be a bit less shocked.

Wake me when they get to the American Idol Idols week where the men's team played the week shorthanded. That was the epitome of how bad Karn Feud was.

Looks like their online schedule has them eventually moving onto regular episodes from later in Karn's run.

^Yes, they just started airing regular episodes from 2005-06 (Karn's last season) today.

That didn't last long.  On UP right now (8:30 AM Eastern) is Home Improvement.  My cable guide shows no Feud on UP the next two weeks.
