This show hosted by longtime Newlywed Game host Bob Eubanks pitts two families against each other to who knows more about themselves and win money than the other family for the right to win a family vacation in the bonus round.
  • I Can't Believe you Said That! - This was hosted by former NBA Basketball star John Salley & announced by longtime Double Dare host Marc Summers. Again two families played against each other this time to score more points than the other to win a family vacation.

Family Feud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4600 words)
Family Feud is a popular television game show that pits two families against each other in a contest to name the most popular responses to a survey-type question posed of 100 people.
An answer is considered correct if it is one of the concealed answers on the game board (the number varies with each question, but it is usually between three and nine answers, although since 1999, the game board only allows for eight answers, with a limit of six for multiplied value rounds).
One family member leaves the stage and is placed in an isolation booth and the other is given 20 seconds (15 seconds before 1994) to answer those questions.
Game Review - Family Business by Mayfair Games (590 words)
The mobster family is layed out before each player, and then a set of 5 action cards are dealt to each player.
Proving its popularity, this game is now in its third edition beginning with the first in 1982 and most recently with the third in 1995.
The cards in each family are illustrated with identical cartoonish mobster faces, but each gangster has his own true-life historical name, lending much color and flavor to the game.
