Certainly was.
I’m sad to see the show go. I hope it returns in some form soon - perhaps a post 8.30 adults only show, similar in style to the American version.

Family Feud was revived on TEN 4 years ago and was simulcasted on Three channels - TEN, ONE and 11. With the aid of the simulcast, this has helped ratings push further, but still trailing behind Seven & Nine News. In 2015, they’ve added a Sunday Edition and this had solid numbers. With the new All-Star Family feud introduced in 2016, they played for charity.
Throughout its run, they gave away $6.4 million, 46 cars (+ the Suzuki car to Harfouch family) and welcomed over 5000 contestants.

Wow! Love it or hate it, that is an incredible effort for a gameshow. Kudos to everyone involved with Family Feud over this 4 year run. Grant’s version has definitely earned its spot in TV history.

Even with that disgraceful simulcast tactic, the show never had solid numbers. Just a complete waste of time and money in the end.

A waste of time. Ten is not going to bring back a show that couldn’t even raise its ratings above 200k for its final ever episode. The interest is just not there besides a minority of loud mouthed fans.

Oh dear god no. Just let it die and let Ten make that decision on when it should come back.

Concept: If this show bears any chance of a comeback they could always keep Mark Humphries or Andrew Rochford as the solo host of the program. Basically the same but without Denyer, his silly banter and the cringeworthy, old shouting in unison.
Family Feud is possibly being resurrected.

What does Family Feud have to do with the success of The Masked Singer?
I don’t get it.

Ten seem determined to lurch from one failed game show to the next and then repeat. Stupid decisions if they even think about doing this.

Maybe it will instead launch as an adults only version to be shown after TMS?
Most likely at 6pm
Surely not?
Does Grant Denyer look at ratings?

Laughs hysterically.
You cant take anything that mob says about 10 seriously.
True … but they are quoting Denyer.
Are there any other independent sources quoting the exact same thing from Denyer?
Or has he been taken out of context?
Maybe all the Family Feud contestants have to wear costumes and everyone has to guess who they are as part of the show.
And they have to sing their guesses.
The Masked Family Feud?
