is a spin-off from Match Game’s big money "Super Match" bonus round. This show is where two families battle it out by answering surveys to win points/dollars. The first to reach a set number of points/dollars (originally 200 in the pilot and first season, then 300, and 400 during Dawson's 1984-85 season and their "Tournament of Champions" episode) gets a chance to play Fast Money for a grand cash prize. Each family has 5 members per team (10 in total), except from 1994 to 1995, when there were only 4 members per team (8 in total). During the one-hour versions from 1992 to 1995, two new families competed in the first half-hour for the right to face the champions in the second half. Early in Dawson's season, the winners of the first half competed in the second half against a family from the original Dawson era in 1994.
Since its inception in the 70s, the show had a share of a few alternative titles as well:
•All-Star Family Feud Special (featuring celebrities playing for their favorite charities)
•Family Feud Challenge (CBS daytime version of the show from 1992-1994 which features the Bullseye round)
•The New Family Feud (1992-1994 syndicated version of the show that also features the Bullseye round)
•Celebrity Family Feud (similar to the "All-Star" Primetime specials from the '70s)
In each case, a survey of 100 people was taken for each question. (In a few cases, a specific group, such as 100 men, women, kids, etc. was surveyed; otherwise, the survey was of 100 random people). Any response that appears as an answer to that question had to be given by at least 2 people (answers given by only one person were discarded).
When going into the 1st commercial break under Louie Anderson's tenure, the viewers at home were asked an Uproar/Soap Opera Digest/Family Feud/Family Circle survey. At the end of the 1st commercial break, the answer(s) were revealed.
First Half
In the first half, each family was staked with $2,000. Each family member was asked a question. The #1 was worth $1,000, while #2 was $500 and #3 was $250, for a maximum of $7,000. Then, standard Feud was played (Single/Double/Triple, 300 wins), followed by Fast Money.
Second Half
The second half started with standard Feud against returning champions, but instead of a bank built for one family, the bank was instead multiplied by $10, then $20, and finally $30. Whichever family won the round added that money to their Fast Money bank. Also, the "steal answer adds to the bank" rule was used here.
In all versions of the All-Star/Celebrity primetime specials, four celebrity teams (celebrities and their families also in the Al Roker version) competed to win money for their favorite charities.
In the Richard Dawson all-star series, there were three games a show. The first two games were played to $200 for a chance at $5,000, while the third one was a one-question showdown for a chance at $10,000.
In the Ricki Lake Gameshow Marathon episode, finalists Kathy Najimy and Brande Roderick along with their families respectively competed to score 300 points first just like the civilian version. The points doubled in round four and tripled in round five and so on. The winning family won $100,000 for the charity of their choice. Fast Money was played with the 20/25 second time limits, and winning earned a home viewer $50,000.
NOTE:
•Kathy Najimy was the winner of the episode and the whole series in general.
made its debut on NBC as part of their "All-American Summer" block on June 24, 2008, and concluded on July 29, 2008, hosted by Al Roker of The Today Show with Burton Richardson handling the announcing duties. In this version, there were also three games, played single-single-triple, with the winning teams from the first two games playing the third for a chance at $50,000. In Fast Money, less than 200 points were worth $25,000. Families that lost received $10,000 for their charity.
1989–1994
Starting in November 1989 on the nightly syndicated version and in February 1990 on the CBS daytime version, the 1988–1994 version started to carry special tournaments for the four highest winning families from certain periods returning for a Winner-Take-All Tournament of Champions. These were held at first every 8-12 weeks on both the CBS and syndicated versions (usually held during the rating sweep periods of November, February and May). The main game rules applied, but if a family reached 200 points in Fast Money, $5,000 went into a jackpot that started at $25,000 and went up to potentially $55,000 on the CBS version. Likewise, on the syndicated version, the jackpot started at $50,000 and went up to $10,000 for each time Fast Money was won, up to a possible $110,000. If the score was less than 200, nothing was added to the jackpot, as the $5 a point rule was discarded for the tournament. Each semifinal was the best-of-three games, with the first family in each one to win two games advancing to the finals, which was also a best-of-three match. There was no Fast Money round played during the finals. The scoring was similar to the 1984–1985 season (single-single-single-single-double-triple) or the regular CBS/Syndicated version from late 1989 to 1990 (single-single-single-double-triple) in the finals, with the first family to reach $400 winning the game instead of $300. The first family to win two out of three games won everything in the jackpot in addition to what they won in the regular game. Again, no Fast Money was played. No additional tournaments were conducted on the syndicated version after the second season. The CBS version continued conducting them, but starting in September 1990, tournaments were held every month (about every 4 to 6 weeks), with the top four money-winning families of the previous month returning. The main game point goals for winning a semifinal and a final game were the same, but the match format was changed from the best-of-three to a one-game match for both the semifinals and the finals. Thus, the potential maximum was lowered to $35,000.
2002–Present
The current version began doing tournaments in 2002. The first occurred in February 2002 with the Family Circle Tournament of Champions, with eight winning families returning in a single-elimination tournament. The jackpot started at $50,000 and went up to $20,000 for each time Fast Money was won, up to a possible $170,000. For this particular tournament only, if Fast Money was not won, $5 per point was added to the jackpot. Each game was played to 300 points except for the finals, which required 500 points to win the game and the jackpot. The winning team for this tournament won a trip to Charleston, South Carolina and tickets to the Family Circle Cup women's tennis tournament in nearby Daniel Island, in addition to the money, which was $112,230. The runners-up for this tournament won a trip to Jamaica. Also, for the finals only, the double round was used, despite the fact they were still using the "three singles and one-strike triple round" format. This version, however, did not do tournaments on an occasional basis until May 2005. Again, eight families were brought back, but this time, they consisted of either family who previously lost their first game for the tournament that was held in May 2005 and May 2006, or previously winning families, but not necessarily focusing on the higher winning families of the past for the tournament held in February 2006. The differences at this point for the tournaments were that the jackpot started with nothing, except for the February 2006 Tournament of Champions, which began at $10,000 and went up to $20,000 for each time Fast Money was won, up to a possible $130,000. Losses in Fast Money did not add anything to the jackpot, as in the 1988–1994 version, and the championship game was played to 400 points and used the 4 singles-double-triple round format (with Sudden Death if applicable). Trips were sometimes awarded to the jackpot-winning family, including Hawaii during the February 2006 tournament and Mexico during the May 2006 tournament. Again, no Fast Money was played in the finals. The tournament format did not return until 2013, where the jackpot started at $40,000 and could get as high as $160,000 and was sponsored by Publishers Clearing House. The Fast Money round was won 6 times in a row and had it built up to $160,000. As before, there was no Fast Money round in the finals, and the first team to reach 400 points won the jackpot of $160,000 and the runners-up received $20,000.

The strike buzzer, the correct answer clang, and the win bells were recycled from a previous ABC Goodson-Todman game show, Showoffs.
The Face-Off buzzer sound was used in a few other Goodson-Todman shows such as:
This is chronicling the classic 1976 version of Feud. At the beginning of each round, two members of each family come up to the main podium and play a mini-round for control of the question called "Face-Off". The host announced how many answers are on the board (which are always in order based...

- Family Feud Format. One of the great things about "Family Feud" is that the game itself is almost the same as it was back in the 1970s, though there have been tweaks and game changes over the years.
- The Questions. The answers to the questions are unique in that they aren't factual "answers" at all. They are based on the answers provided by a 100-person survey panel.
- Playing the Main Game. The main game starts off with one family member from each team coming to the podium and facing off on the first question. The contestant who buzzes in first gets to provide the first answer.
- The Fast Money Round. The team with the most points at the end of the main game moves on to the Fast Money round. Two family members play this round. One family member stays with the host while the other disappears backstage.
