inappropriate questions/answers
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.

board responses referring to man's p*
Family Feud's game board responses increasingly refer to a mans p**** such as in response to "What does a man like to swing?" response: "his dangling dong". This is a family show, not an R rated movie. Not necessary, and uncomfortable for viewers with parents and children. Please tone down the sexual content.

The Family Feud surveys are direspectful and explicit in Harvey era, please clean up the show, Steve Harvey should be replaced by a white woman on Family Feud.
Family Feud used to be a 'family-friendly' show. Now, I won't watch it anymore as it has become raunchy, disrespectful, and in poor taste. Come on Steve Harvey, lets get back to a fun, family show!
They must have changed producers or something. I'm sure the contestants are coached to give certain answers that will be "funny" and appear awkward and slightly dirty. I'm guessing that they tell them the questions and give them a list of possible "answers".
I havent watched that show since I was a kid, but I hear and see the promos and it's just gross. I guess you could just answer "my butt" to every question .
Our family has looked forward to watching the '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. Perhaps it's time to consider a name change to the 'funky feud' :)
And that's why my kids only watch exclusively children's programming. I honestly think the show is ten times more entertaining with him as the host.
i agree that this family show, that i have watched since the 90's, has gotten way off track with the content and Steve Harvey's language. I cant help but wonder why this network allows Steve Harvey to cuss openly. i have always wanted my kids to watch what i watch. but we will all stop watching this show. it is ridiculous to have to listen to Steve's mouth. really? does he need to cuss on a family show. Steve! Go outside and cuss to get it out of your system...we dont want to hear it. i vote to get a new host and new material. Seems like this is "Family Sex" Show...not "Family Feud"...
How can we stop this this is exactly what I was talking about.
I agree absolutely. It's been a long time since I have watched Family Feud.
As I turned in today, to a repeat episode on WABM (Channel 68)! One of the questions had to do with which part of the body sees the least sun. The answers given on "the board" were simply vulgar & disgusting.
Examples of the answers were:
"Dong/Cooter" for the genitalia (privates)
"Knockers" for breasts
"Pits" for the underarm or armpits
"Fart box" for the buttocks
These answers are not family oriented, children friendly. These answers are not representative of the way we would want people to talk, much less our children.
I could not believe what I was seeing or hearing. I will never, ever tune in to another episode, if this is what I can expect in the future. It's uneducated and inappropriate, to say the least!
I agree. LINGO is getting raunchy as well!
losing question
i have a complaint on the feb. 23rd episode the question was "Name a kind of cart" and the pitts family said "a food cart" and they got a strike which cost them the game (the #3 answer was "push cart" and i looked and a food cart is a TYPE of push cart. so i believe they should have won, because all food carts are push carts and most push carts are food carts.

Today the Gunn family was playing. Name a part of the body that makes noise, was the question. They gave the answer mouth, and it was already on the board. Steve made a point of how stupid it was. Even pointed out it was already on the board. The morron still repeated the same answer, but they wouldn't count it. I can see giving someone a second chance, but not 5 minutes and 5 chances. Wrong answers should count.
My husband and I just finished watching Family Fued and I could not believe what I saw. The show was on at 1:00 Central Time on August 21, 2014 and Mr Harvey asked the black family (I do not remember their names) of both families. He asked the question and the man gave an answer and Harvey said think about the question or something to that, and so the man gave another answer and it was wrong. So he gave him two times to answer. This also happened a couple of weeks ago and it is so obvious, I can't believe he wasn't called on it. This was another black family and he also gave someone in that family to answer twice for one question, which gave them a chance to win. I don't care if hey are black or white, this is not right and in this case caused a family to loose a car. My husband and I always enjoy watching this show. But after what we saw, we might not be watching it any more.
MAJOR COMPLAINT For episode that aired in Miami/FT lauderdale on July 26, 2012 (Gallagher vs Skeleton) Question was **Name an excuse that a man uses to postpone marriages** The Gallagher family said "already been married* which was marked wrong, but when the answer was displayed it said *He's already married* we all know people speak differently but that was OBVIOUS.. come on now
From Wikipedia "Some food carts are towed by another vehicle, while some alternatively are pushed by a human." Alongside the article is a picture of a food cart being towed by a pickup truck. So apparently, not all food carts are push carts after all.
Stop this
The way John o'hurley treats the women on the show. He must be sexually deprived as he is always asking the women to hug him tightly. This is discussng to me. Please have this stopped. It spoils the show. Thank you.

Why they put too much white and black people what happened to you Chinese Hispanic Pakistan different race pure black and white why Steve lets the black person win a lot I think he don't likes white people on the game just black people
Steve Harvey appears to be very partial to the african americans. Steve Harvey is too sarcastic and seems to be rude to contestants. The show has become vulgar. I dont think of it as a family show anymore.
Some of your questions are very disturbing. For example, you had at least two questions that were awful: 1) Little red riding hood and 2) Dorothy from Oz being strippers. You are promoting people being dressed as Children and being strippers! Promoting the concept of pedophilia. Disgusting.
I don't think you should push this Drag Queen LGBT crap on Americans. It's disgusting 🫣 this was on Sunday night of all days to air this perverted trash. 7/16/2023 8pm Mountain time on ABC Television.
My mom won 20k in family feud guess to win promo last may 26 episode. She is Mary Joey Ferenal. Until now she has not got the prize yet, no one from gma called her.
5/17-18-2023.
Please stop having the contestants do stupid things as a walk up to the podium!
The question that was posed about What is taken out at night. The contestants were thinking as ask if it's were thinking that it was on the personal body. But it wasn't and the majority of the answers were missed. I felt that this questing was a bit misleading to the point of being not understandable. It could have been a little bit clearer.
I am a family frued and am tired of seeing the same family being on over and over again not fair to the other families waiting to be on your show they should only be aloud to be on no more than twice.
Steve's sexual gestures should be banned. He takes making fun of contestants' answers too far. His actions are not conforming to accepted standards of morality.
The question was knock blank ,,,, the last answer why no one got it ,,,,was knack not knock. ? Not what they asked. ? That. Deceiving they had said knock not knack. ?

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!
Are you saying "Sperm" was not the right answer?
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.
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
My god you people are butthurt.
STEVE HARVEY IS A SAVAGE. FAMILY FEUD HAS GOT TO GO.
ON GSN TV. East Coast 5PM TIME SLOT.
WHITE HOCKEY TEAM.
"TITTIES" was given and accepted as an answer for $20, 000.00.
REALLY?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?!
My 95 Year Old Grandmother USED to enjoy this show. I am 54 and I WAS OFFENDED TOO!
I NEVER LIKED STEVE HARVEY.
Family Feud should renamed "OBSCENE FEUD"
I am contacting the U.S. A.G.

Steve Harvey should be replaced by the Hollywood actress so she can make Family Feud more friendly again.
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!
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?
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.
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.
I suggest Steve Harvey replaced by a white woman.
