Greetings! I had the pleasure of interviewing by email a contestant who appeared on Family Feud (and won) during the Ray Combs era. If you're interested in this behind-the-scenes look, check out the interview here: http://www.junkdrawerblog.com/2008/08/surv...-this-show.html (http://\"http://www.junkdrawerblog.com/2008/08/survey-says-i-love-this-show.html\")

Welcome to the forum, Kathy. Nice interview, looks like you've got a good number of visitors to your blog. I met Ray around the same time frame and found him to be a very nice man, so it was a shock to me about what happened. Watching his shows now is like watching Chico and the Man, there's that feeling of sadness that obscures the fun.

Thank you! Yes, I'm lucky to have a healthy amount of readers and commenters to my blog. When I put up my Family Feud piece, I worried my readers would think me a nut because I love that show so much!
I agree. Whenever I watch a FF episode that Ray Combs hosted, there's always a little sadness there. Terrible thing, depression. I understand he had been hospitalized, but still managed to find a way to take his life.

Thanks for that interview. Based on research, the contestants that were on Blockbusters were 10+-time champions John & Kathy!

Hey, I like your blog. The Odiogo thing grabbed me too; I've started using it on my blog (http://\"http://dave-mackey.blogspot.com\") too.

Glad you like it. I started using Odiogo because my father is legally blind and likes to listen to web content whenever possible. I added it for his benefit, but it's nice, too, if people want to download posts and take them on-the-go.
