Family Feud Canada

Why would someone hire Gerry Dee? Anyone who has watched the American version with Steve Harvey should know the answer. The American version heavily favours questions that elicit answers with a lot of sexual and scatalogical innuendo. I watch Family Feud to be entertained. I am not entertained when an answer is revealed to be "poop chute".

Now let's talk about hosts. Gerry Dee is pleasant and amusing. While he occasionally pokes fun at the contestants (and himself), he is never excessive or mean spirited. Steve Harvey, on the other hand, frequently comes down just shy of calling the contestants retarded. He typically follows a stupid answer with an equally stupid open mouthed gape. And when a contestant says something even mildly amusing he will double over in laughter and practically roll on the floor. This type of shucking and jiving should have died decades ago.

And a final word on the survey questions - you will likely never see questions designed merely to stroke the host's ego on Family Feud Canada. Too many questions on the American version refer to how smart, handsome, sexy, funny, etc. Steve Harvey is. I think we are a little classier than that in the Great White North.

There are very few TV shows that I really look forward to seeing; eagerly waiting for each nightly show. This is ONE show that I crave for each evening. Gerry D is the BEST host. I really think that no other host could be better. Too bad it's not on Friday nights and hey ... maybe it can be hour long instead 30 minutes! Just a suggestion.

I don't care for the host is hard to understand he's not funny whatsoever and I can't stand how he put his hand in his pocket all the time.

I can only assume that is where this show comes from. Just think of the number of bad decisions that were made just for this terrible, terrible game show to exist.

Why would they buy the rights to remake an American game show, that we can already watch on Canadian TV anyway, instead of just making up their own original show?

If they were going to do that, why remake Family Feud, which is at best an average American game show? If you're going to just add the word "Canada" to a U.S. game show, why not pick a really good and big one, like Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune?

Why hire the guy from Mr. D as a host? Wouldn't it be more entertaining to have a child or a dog or something, or just no host at all and let the people just ramble on endlessly?

Where do they get these contestants?

Why are the questions so stupid, why is the small talk between the host and contestants always so forced and awful, why do the prizes suck... so many questions about this terrible, terrible show.

Family Feud Canada is terrible. Terrible. TERRIBLE.

Definitely feel like Gerry Dee was a great choice for this. Just the right amount of humour and cringe. Nice to be able to see people you might know. Have actually known two of the families so far. Canada is surprisingly small.
