Title: "Family Feud"'s Future
Post by: KyleCHaight on September 18, 2003, 06:33:46 PM

I've been reading that \"Family Feud\" was only renewed for a 5th season because it was only good game show that Tribune had. Any truth in this? And also, do you think it's likely that \"Feud\" will continue after this season, or will this be it?

Isn't this Tribune's only game show?

Honestly, I'm shocked this version of Feud has lasted as long as it has.

I heard that the reason the show was renewed was because the ratings weren't THAT bad (nor that good) and it was easier and cheaper to produce another season of Feud than to go ahead with another game (possibly the new Match Game).  That way, they'd still have a property on the air without having to resell the show, build new sets, etc.
