Has anyone attended a taping of the Karn Feud for the upcoming season? If so, have they made any changes like round format system, scoring, etc?

The first tapings for the new season will be the weekend of August 22nd. As to changes for the upcoming season, I'm not at liberty to give any details yet, but there will be one significant change, one that we'll all be pleased to see.
I'll spill a bit more on my website in a couple of weeks after the first tapings are done.

Hmmm? Maybe a scoring change?

I really hope it's a scoring change. I hate it how 99 times out of 100 the last question makes the previous three rounds irrelevant.

I'll make a few guesses:
1. They finally changed the scoring format to Single Single Double Triple (or some variation thereof)
2. They went to \"first to 300 points wins\"
3. They ditched the Dawson/Anderson set mix and went with something more \"traditional\".
I'm probably wrong on all counts. :P

I can pretty much guarantee that the more y'all stew over what it might be, the less satisfied you will be with the ultimate result, no matter how cool it is.

That's why I prefer not to stew over it. Who knows, Richard Karn might be clean-shaven! That would be a major letdown, because it did happen once in a Home Improvement flashback. You know, before the internet in the days of inside sources and media in everyone's face at once, we were actually surprised to see new sets, new rules, new personnel, et al. I miss those days.

Well stop reading this Message Board and you can relive those old days once again :-) Seriously though.... I hear where you are coming from. I used to get so damn excited when September hit. The Cross-Wits used to update their set and music every two years. I would be in such a good mood when I saw how they freshened everything up over the summer.
That was also a time when there was guaranteed to be new game shows on the fall schedule. They were always good ones to. Not like the lame things you tend to see these days. The 70's and 80's were an exciting time for Game Shows that I truly miss. September no longer brings the same amount of joy that it once did.

I'm not stewing here, but-
I have the strangest idea that it's a scoring change. Notice Mandel said: It's a change we all will be pleased to see- and not one of us has said we absolutely LOVE that Triple round.
Once again, I'm not stewing here... :-)

That's why I'm setting my standards low: Richard will now kiss all the...video screens.
Oh, and a legitimate response - that kind of stewing is what ruined Pyramid last year - it was cool, but not as good as it could have been. Plus - there was no real suspense as there had been set pics (the one change I was interested in) available for a few weeks by that point.

I agree totally. Reading over my old TVGuides makes me really miss those days, especially the mid-late 70s where you had a different game in prime access every night. Those days were great for games - probably the best there ever was.

Although it often presented a problem in those pre-VCR days...which show do you watch, knowing you might miss something big on the one you choose not to? :-)

Hmm...That's a toughie, considering, in Chicago, there isn't a lot of overlap in terms of game shows/reality shows. However, I'll have to say that I always choose \"Big Brother 4\" on Tuesday nights over \"Dog Eat Dog.\" I sometimes regret not watching it just because I don't get to see 6 intellectually-challenged contestants bumble over who was our last President!
Wait...intellectually-challenged contestants on \"Dog Eat Dog\" or intellectually-challenged contestants on \"Big Brother 4?\" Perhaps I'm not missing much (see: Alison on BB4!)!
I know it would make a big deal in areas where you have H2, WWTBAM, WOF, and/or J! airing within the same hour, but it doesn't pose a problem here (and all other shows air in primetime).

Here in Rochester NY, J! and H2 are on at the same time. Unless there's some really good reason for me to watch H2 (like the Game Show week) I'll watch J!. Of course, that's given I watch either of them — I often work weekday evenings and watch WoF during my break.

I guess my sarcasm isn't as prevalent as Mr. Lemon's is. It obviously isn't going to be any of the above. Will they fix the Triple round with only 1 strike? Will they bring out a Double round with only 2 strikes? Basically, what I'm saying is that I'll tune in to see the change(s), hum a few bars of the theme, probably wonder why it took them so long to make the change(s), make a sandwich and wait for H2 to come on. Sorry kids, 'Feud' just doesn't do it for me anymore.
Whoopie doo...

Three guesses: Gene Wood is coming back. Dawson theme returns. Introduction of the \"Quadruple Round.\" Well, I was kidding with the last one, but I hope the change is indeed something that will make me look forward to seeing it more often.
-
My guess is that they'll introduce a new segment where one member of each family goes on a hidden-camera date with three members of the other family. If they don't put out, they're out of the rest of the game.
-
Personally, I'm hoping for Icey as the \"Feud Time Girl.\"
-
Maybe since the Triple round is the only one that matters even one bit, they'll just skip the other three rounds. Heck, then they can do it like Pyramid; play two games with the same families each show, if a team wins and goes to fast money twice they come back the next day, if both teams win whoever scores more in fast money comes back.
-
Here's the exciting change:
Richard Karn will give a word and the family members are to determine what the top four (or five or six, depending on the word) definitions are.

Dear God! If I actually heard this as an opening, I'd probably smash my TV into many little pieces! Fremantle's already screwed the game over with the Triple Round; why add this to the mix? I guess they figure that it wouldn't hurt, right? :)
But, seriously, my money's on a scoring change; I think they'll switch to Single, Single, Double, Triple with maybe the \"one strike rule\" remaining. They probably still won't use 300 points as a benchmark, though; it'll probably still be whoever has the most after the Triple round wins.
However, like the rest of you, I have no idea; I guess I'll just have to wait until next month to find out!

If they go to \"single single double triple\" format, with high score at end of triple round winning, a family winning the first three questions could have more than 300 points going into the triple round, making it impossible for the other family to catch up. That format(which was used in the first edition Sharedata Feud computer game in 1987) would be worse than the current one.
-
I think they'll go back to the scoring format used on the Combs eps w/ Bullseye--Single, Double, Triple, Triple.
