Family Feud (1999– )
7/10
Overall... Steve Harvey is excellent... the producers constantly make a big mistake
1 May 2017
Steve Harvey is carrying this show. He is the entertainment... the silent looks, the pregnant pauses, the sarcastic quips... all work. He is worth every penny he gets paid.

The game format... is excellently thought out. The questions are funny and thought provoking.

The execution of the production in filming is terrible. It is almost impossible to play at home... for the same reasons that Who Wants to be a Millionaire also misses the bull's eye.

The answer board appears only when waiting for a result of the question, and is impossible for the viewer at home to stare at and attempt to play at home... because neither the question nor the answers thus far are on screen. I really don't care for the cutaways to the other team making chopping motions while the first team is coming up with an answer.

Clearly, the question and answers should be in a small box in a corner of the screen, constantly on screen so that viewers can feel like they are a part of the action. I cannot imagine anyone watching who does not want to participate at home.

Once again... Steve Harvey ten stars. Game basic format ten stars. Production and execution of filming of same... five stars.
