A trading aquitance just got GSN again after an absence. He wanted to know about the 'Feud'. Here was my email reply. If you too find it informative as well, I aim to please.
-------------------------------------------------------
Right now GSN is airing late 1978 ABC Dawson shows and spring 1990 Combs syndicated shows.
GSN ended the Combs network shows a little over a year ago, in 3/04, w/ a series of 1992 soap opera weeks. After that the series presumably became the 'Family Feud Chalange.'
'The Family Feud Challange' ran on GSN in the early years to around 1998, but that is just a guess. Bottom line it has not been seen in years now.
The Dawson syndiacted shows have been a network stable since the start. Last summer 1981 shows were running in mornings. GSN gave them a rest over the winter and now 1981 syndicted shows are back in the morning.
Richard's 1994 comeback aired on GSN in prime time early on, but like the 'Challange' they do not have thee rights and have not been seen in years now. However last year on 10/31/04 GSN floored everyone by airing a 1994 Halloween themed Dawson show.
In the fall of 2002 Friday nights were 'Family Feud Fridays' on GSN. A wealth of hour ABC prime time Dawson celebrity specials aired over the weeks. Syndicated Ray Combs 1/2 hour syndicated 'Bullseye' shows aired too, but only celebrity weeks. No family weeks. On a related note GSN may play some family 'bullseye' shows if the current syndicated run stays intact.
Finally I have never seen 'Family Fortunes' on GSN.
