Title: Family Feud strike counter
Post by: vtown7 on March 21, 2004, 11:39:59 AM

This week, friends of mine had a digital box in their apartment and taped me this past Thursday's "new GSN".  I took particular interest in the last show on the tape as it was one of the first '88 Syndie Feuds.

I've noticed that Ray always looked up at some kind of strike counter but I never saw it on the camera.  However I was watching the opening this morning and noticed three dots above the area where the families come out.  Would this be where he was looking all the time?

Cheers,

Ryan :)

 Yes... three small red lights. The same system used alltthe way back to the original Dawson shows.

The strike lights are now located in the audience below the center cameras.
