I felt like I had to start this topic instead of going off-topic elsewhere. This is the week we're expecting to see the start of the 11th season of Family Feud "starting" Steve Harvey. Maybe it started on September 14th, but not for me.
Here are a
couple links discussing the restart
Typically the second Monday of September (if not the Monday before autumn) brings the return, or rather the start of a new season of first-run syndicated programs, including Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Family Feud. I think Jeopardy & Wheel have started new seasons on the Tuesday after Labor Day in the past.
However, as mentioned elsewhere, Family Feud did not begin its 22nd season. Unless it did in other parts of the country, maybe those episodes are being held back a week or two, if not indefinitely. There could be a local argument that it didn’t start on 09/14 due to football, but I checked my listings and I did not see mention of the new season. In fact, I’m getting 2019 episodes.
I wonder what’s going on; maybe is it just
me. I checked everywhere for an explanation, only to come up empty handed.
Apparently per the articles, the Feud will follow the guidelines based on where they’re taping, from LA to Atlanta. No audience, maybe pumped in crowd noise/laughter, but I believe they have started taping but I wonder how it’ll play out. Maybe Steve will stay at the podium instead of pace at the controlling families’ podium. Fast Money will be even more interesting.
Of course I may be interested. Definitely will be a change for sure. I’ll be honest; the show is doing very well, but man, they haven’t changed much in a long time, especially the structure. It
could use some changes before Feud becomes officially stale (or not)
