Why are the questions on family fued tv show so un-family friendly

[couponkrystal]

I used to watch this with my sons 4 and 16 but lately I find we have to skip it. I seriously think they should change the name of the show or put a mature rating warning on the show.

example of tonight's questions
- what would you say no to if your husband asked you to wear something
- what would a football player use if he forgot his cup
- which occupation sees the most drunk people

This made me laugh. I couldn't agree with you more. I used to watch as a kid and I am pretty sure it was this program that taught me what "make love" meant. It seemed to be a top answer at least once a week. On that note, I don't watch with the kids as it is one of those "only seems" family-friendly tv programs.

I have thought the same thing. Although it doesn't offend me (I find the newer questions funny sometimes) I was curious about people who watch this show with their children, parents or grandparents. Especially for a show called "Family" Feud, you are right, some things aren't very family orientated.

Some families have all kinds of members. But I agree-if there is content you'd rather avoid with minors, then skipping the show is a way to deal with the matter.

It must be a tactic in television industry-what kinds of questions will keep people coming back? Besides the shows in which soap opera or other tv program stars team up for charity play.

I thought it was called Family Feud because the teams were made up of families? Not because of the questions - but I also haven't watched in a very long time.

Even when the questions are clean, some of their answers make me !!!

Yeah I think the problem is even when the questions are fine the answers are dirty and I don't understand how people's minds get there...

but Steve Harvey is a gem, his reactions to the dumb answers are priceless.

I always thought it was Family Feud because of the families on it, but it is definitely NOT for kids.

[idonovan]

the questions are clean its the responses that are not, cuz ppl are dirty minded

I guess we should just appreciate that Steve Harvie doesn't make out with his female guests like the host from the 70's?

That was Richard Dawson.

Hardly anything on TV is family friendly anymore. I'm not easily offended but when I watch TV with my teenagers, I cringe so often!!

I can't stand this show now. I remember watching it as a kid, with my family, back when it was decent entertainment. I think they are trying to be "edgy", but to me it comes off as stupid, immature and a lot of times it's very sexual. The other night the one family had a kid playing and he was very young, I assume 16-18yrs, and I couldn't believe the sexual answers and banter that was going on with him. Disgusting. I just don't find it funny at all.
