From what I remember, Ray Combs' feud aired twice a day. CBS version aired on CBS at 10:00am, while the syndicated version aired on NBC at 7:00pm. The syndicated Feud lasted on NBC through the summer of 1994. I liked both Richard Dawson and Ray Combs as Family Feud hosts. But I liked Ray better for two reasons. One, I was too young to appreciate Richard Dawson's Feud when it was originally on. In my pre-school mind, at 12:30pm when the theme song came on that meant it was naptime. Fast forward three years later for Ray's version, and I'm old enough to remember tuning in before going to an Independence Day BBQ with my parents to hear the new host of Family Feud ask, "Hey, What's the first item up for bids? Being an avid Price is Right fan, I was sold right there. Two, Ray seemed to have a better rapport with the contestants, and would often sympathize with them. His mannerisms and voice would set the excitement level during a tiebreaker round or fast money, as his tone would increase in pitch as he'd call out "Survey Said??!!!" on a final question in Fast Money when the 200 point goal was within reach. He expressed genuine excitement when a family won fast money, or heartbreak when they'd lose by less than 10 points. Years later in 1997, I watched both the original Dawson Feud and the short-lived 1994 reboot of Feud and grew an appreciation for Richard Dawson. I also liked his work as Peter Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes, which I used to watch with my grandfather during summer afternoons as a kid. By 1997 or 98, I was also mature enough to understand Richard's jokes and references. One of my favorites was when a contestant during Fast Money gave the genius answer of "September" when Richard asked "Name the month of pregnancy when a woman begins to look pregnant?" I was laughing for an hour after that.
