I've watched Family Feud since the early 80s when Richard Dawson was host, smooching all the ladies. He was, by far and away, the best host of this show. Not even close. Richard was smooth, dapper, always somewhat drunk, cracking jokes and throwing zingers. He did it without being gross and over the top like they are… Read more
There is a judge off screen. If the answer is borderline, you'll see Steve Harvey look to the judge (conveniently near camera so it's not obvious) who I'm sure give him a thumbs up or thumbs down, and is relaying to the crew which answer option to flip. Steve doesn't know the answers ahead of time. Read more
My wife's grandparents fucking love(d) this show [Gramps is now gone, Nonna continues to soldier on at 92]. We'd visit them nearly every weekend and it was a non-stop Family Feud marathon (excepting Red Sox and Patriots games), especially after they got the expanded cable package and episodes played nearly nonstop on… Read more
Damn, this is good!! Read more
You missed the one from last week where the question was "Name something you'd like to hit your husband with", and two red-blooded American women responded with "A Big Rubber Dong". Read more
my high school best friend was on the Feud about 3 years ago and gave an answer that this column would undoubtedly approve of.
One thing I've always wondered about the Feud: how do they so quickly decide what does/does not count as an answer? Sometimes there are guesses that are pretty far off the actual answer, yet count. Other times there are guesses that seem very similar to what the answer turns out to be, but do not count. Read more
Name something that would be embarrassing for a marathon runner to accidentally do during a race. Read more
I do still love the bit of "What gets passed around," a guy responding "a joint." Harvey just glares at him before asking 'how many weed-heads we got out there?" Sure enough, "A joint" pops up on the board as the audience howls, Harvey stomps around and then goes "This...is the moment where you know we're going to…
This is a good-ass TV opinion right here. Steve Harvey's a TV host revelation. Did you catch him running the mini-ep on Fallon? He pulls the same dictator shtick that he does with the plebes and totally puts Fallon (whose actual show it is) in his place. So good.
The show might be great right now — I don't know, because I've seen maybe 5 minutes of Family Feud in the last 5 years — but let's not pretend anything with Steve Harvey in it is the best version of anything. Read more
Diff'rent strokes for different folks. Personally, I think the show is a shell of its glory days and is just cheap daytime-TV filler now. Steve Harvey couldn't carry Richard Dawson's dry cleaning. Read more
I reached a point like that myself recently after hitting level 28. I basically completed everything that is offered to us and it truly is the endgame that is stale. I enjoyed having campaign missions, patrol missions and strike missions to look forward to. Heck, even after I completed the Vault of Glass Raid, we… Read more
"Why does every game developer insist that I play games online with strangers? They're like mothers pushing their children out the door and into the street, forcing them to interact with the kids with boogers on their shirts and/or bullies intent on humiliating them and/or guys who talk like Paulie D yelling into… Read more
Do they know how stupid it looks to members of the opposite sex to see their mate in a dark room, their face lit up by the sea-foam glow of the screen, talking vague Army nonsense into a headset like a delusional Vietnam vet? Jesus! Read more
I bought and played this game I had literally nothing better to do. I graduated from law school back in May, took the bar a few months later, and I'm waiting until November to start work. I haven't seriously played a non-sports video game since I was in high school, but this had so much hype I figured I'd give it a… Read more
Good god, you are right about the headset thing. I am super comfortable with my girlfriend and she is cool with me playing games, but I have never been so embarrassed as when she was sitting next to me and I was talking to some dude about tactics and getting "sweet loot."
I think all of your complaints are valid, but… Read more
I feel like Bungie is trying to make a ground floor right now and opening up avenues for them to expand. They put a generic few mode multiplayer in but that can easily be expanded upon, the strikes as well, the village I noticed already opened up another large (albeit useless other than one person there) space to add… Read more
