Enough already! I take care of my grandchildren everyday and at 4:00 I finally turn off Dora the Explorer/Daniel Tiger/Trotto/Wiggles to watch something I want to watch. My choice? Family Feud. There have been several times when I was bothered by the sexual references but overlooked them thinking they would go over the kids heads. (Denial) Yesterday, one of the questions was "What do you put in your mouth and not swallow?" Much to my shock and horror, the woman (a pastor's wife) actually said "Sperm". Steve Harvey acted shocked but the bottom line is that the show set it up AND actually let her answer air. The show is on at 4:00 EST and because it's the FAMILY Feud one would think it would be okay for kids to watch. Shame on the producers and everyone else for allowing this stuff on daytime TV. Steve, since you are a father, I'm disappointed that you allow this to happen on your show. I'm sad that you are willing to sink so low just for a laugh. It's not funny.

See that button on your remote? The one that says "Channel" or alternatively, the one marked "Power" These are your control buttons - they control the content you want to see or not see. The one that says "Chennel" will change to the next channel. The one marked "power" will turn the TV off and allow you to spend quality time with your Grandchildren. You can play, read stories to them - the list is infinite! Good luck!

Family Feud was supposed to be a family-friendly game show, but since Steve Harvey announced in 2010, the show would never be the same again, the contents were explicit and disgusting, then the broadcasting commision never noticed the warning for the show. Therefore the show has to be fixed, Steve Harvey should be replaced by a white woman on Family Feud.

Wow, I checked the date on your comment compared to today's date and my comment here yesterday and it seems like this has been going on for at least 10 years. Seems to me like the people of Family Feud don't really care what viewers think. At one time a little while back I looked them up on Facebook and it didn't seem like they checked things there very much either. Pretty sad when they don't seem to care what the viewers are saying. I just quit watching as soon as one of their ridiculous questions or answers comes up. I changed the channel and try to remember to go back to watch the final round and sometimes I forget. Just doesn't matter that much anymore. As a matter of fact I put it on tonight in the first question that came up had to do with dancing naked on a trampoline. I didn't hear the whole question because I was disgusted at that point but I think it had something to do about what body parts would be shaking or whatever. The point is it had to have something to do with nudity. They seem to cover a lot of things that involve nudity, body parts, sexual things, cheating, and there's more to mention. The questions they ask are ridiculous and the answers that are put up are ridiculous. Some of the answers they put up are downright disgusting. It's just annoying that with all the questions you could come up with why they choose to do this kind of thing all the time. I like playing the game but not when it involves the main subjects that they're always covering.Some of Steve Harvey's reactions to some of the contestants answers can be a little bit ridiculous too. I have to say I enjoyed watching the show more when Richard Dawson was the host. You didn't have those kinds of questions back then. But what I see, after at least 10 years of this going on, I guess they just don't care, like I also said. Nice to know that the viewers aren't considered. If it wasn't for us they wouldn't be a show and maybe something will make the ratings drop and that will phase them then

Our family has looked forward to watching 'family feud' ever since Steve was hired. He made the show popular and enjoyable again, well beyond it's original popularity, in my opinion. Unfortunately, for our family, the show has taken a detour down a path we find less funny, enjoyable or comfortable to allow the kids to watch any longer. We know whenever Steve's involved in something, it's gonna be edgy, I get that. But it seems to have gone 'over' the edge, at least for us. The language, behavior, sexually charged questions at every angle possible, ridiculous answers that no one would get which include answers that are sexually explicit and not realistic at least in our 'family' realm. The clear favoritism Steve initiates with certain contestants and families - not referring to 'color' btw, as he cuts it both ways as far as I can see. But his hosting manners have shifted from making sure both families feel welcome, comfortable, respected and just have a great time. It's not right to make a contestant feel that their answer is stupid even if it is.Who cares... it's a game and suppose to be fun. I love when he's playful and clearly teasing, but more often now I see contestants being humiliated in the name of 'entertainment', as he says, someone has to be a sacrifice. Why? Says who? Is it what they sign up for? Anyway, tbh... I would rather quit watching while I still feel the love for him if you know what I mean rather then give my tongue anymore fuel to rattle against him, especially when I think he's a good soul. Each to his own of course and yes, we know the choice is ours and where the remote is. But perhaps it's time to consider a name change to the 'funky feud'?

I think Family Feud has to be warned because Steve Harvey should be replaced by a white woman.

Why do you keep saying that, and think changing the gender and race will make a difference. It’s not the gender or race that’s in question here to make a change.

I agree with the other comments, I can no longer watch the Family Feud, the questions are mostly pertaining to sex, body parts, and relationships. Richard Dawson must be turning over in his grave. I also watched with my grandchildren, but not anymore. Please go back to regular questions, or change the rating of the show, and the title of the show. Family Feud is no longer a family show!

I can no longer watch the Family Feud with my grandchildren, because the show is no longer a family show. And yes, I know that I can turn to something else, and I do. This show started out great, my grandchildren and I would try to guess the answers, but now, the questions are about sex, body parts, and relationships. Richard Dawson must be turning over in his grave. I agree with the other comments, this show is no longer a family friendly show; it needs to come on after midnight. I'm and adult, and I can no longer watch. Thank goodness for the remote, because I do turn to something else.

Take away the title Family in Family Feud and replace it with Adult Feud. Some questions do not belong on a daytime show, I am disappointed that the writing staff has to dig in the bottom of the gutter to provide us with some entertainment. I hope it gets cancelled.

This is a family show and my kids and I enjoy watching it. Especially with Steve Harvey. But I too am so fed up with the sexual related questions on the show. Every episode seems to have reference to sex in some way. Is this really necessary? Yes I can turn it off when my kids are around, but they enjoy answering the questions and at 4pm on a family channel, they should be able to. Steve Harvey doesn't write the questions, so whoever does, should be ashamed that you can't come up with better questions and feel this is necessary to get better ratings. How do you know that some of these questions are going to be offensive to the contestants. I give the show 6 months.

It's just NOT necessary to expose people to cheap, sexually charged humor. There are plenty of questions that could be used and hilarious responses made. I will no longer watch the show if this is the direction it is going. Pandering to people who like a shock factor or are uneducated or use language and innuendo in front of women and children is just not what I want to support. I can swear like a sailor but I don't need to see it on a family show. And basically, whether your show/station/network see the connection, you are basically sexualizing a game show. Why?

Just about all questions are sexual in one way or the other! It gets old! I don't really think that they have asked 100 of anybody & come up with the off color answers that they come up with! It seems to be the same families over & over. Surely there are other families who qualify to be on the show. As funny as Steve Harvey can be he shows favoritism to some people! His personality flips from good guy to ghetto man ! Not attractive! Save tat for your stand up comedy show!

Steve Harvey should be replaced by the Hollywood actress so she can make Family Feud more friendly again.

I am 77 and used to watch Family Feud years ago. Now it is x rated alot. Why don't they ask the questions and add "Keep it Clean" as a FAMILY show. It is not a family show anymore. I cannot put it on when I have my neighbor's daughters over. So I have stopped watching totally. I is getting really crude and Steve Harvey is so full of himself that it is pathetic. It becomes the "Steve Harvey aren't I wonderful show".
I try once a week to see if they have made it back to a FAMILY oriented show but no, so off it goes.
CLEAN IT UP or find abother show to take its place. I would rather watch CHIPS or Star Trek

Family Feud was a family favorite, and we enjoyed watching it with our grandchildren. However, at this time my husband and I don't even watch it. The questions given are too often off color and sexual in nature. That's not necessary. We love Steve Harvey, but he truly goes on and on and on with "leading" comments of a sexual nature. I understand that Steve is a Christian and family man, and I don't quite understand how this behavior fits into the scenario. It's been very disappointing, and we will not be watching this show until changes are made. It is not family friendly.

There are children that watch this game show. It seems as though it is turning into an R Rated program. Don't you know, Steve Harney and producers, you will face the Lord God with those absurb questions and answers? God Forbid!
