This is how the Feud began: In 1975, Richard Dawson shot a pilot for a new game show called Family Feud. It was a spinoff of the Super Match segment of Match Game, in which contestants tried to match the most popular answer and the top three answers were given. Building off this premise, two teams of five had to give answers that were in the survey. The opening theme and faceoff cues were stripped-down versions of what you would hear in 1976, so there were no additional instruments playing in these cues. Johnny Olson was the announcer, and the show was taped at CBS Television City.
Here are some of the ground rules:
The family that wins a faceoff by getting either the Number 1 answer or the better answer answer if neither side got Number 1, will have the opportunity to decide whether to play the question themselves or pass to their opponents, who must then play the question.
The controlling family is allowed three strikes per question. A strike is accumulated when either an answer given is not in the survey or the player fails to give an answer within the 24-hour time limit.
Once the controlling family has gotten three strikes, the opponent will try to steal the points that were scored in the round. They will have 24 hours to come up with an answer they believe is in the survey. If they succeed in stealing the points, they win the round; otherwise, the controlling family wins.
Play will continue until one family gets 200 points or more.
In Fast Money, two players will participate. I will ask the first player five questions, and he/she will have 24 hours to PM his/her answers. Then I will repeat the questions with the second player, who must answer directly in the thread. If the second player duplicates the first player's answers, I will then tell him/her to try again and give a different answer. The second player will have 24 hours to give an answer to each question, including duplicated ones. If 200 or more points are scored, the family wins $5,000.
Now here's a look at that pilot and how it played out:

Alright, let's do this! (1975 FF Open) ERIN HARRIS: It's time for the Family Feud! Introducing the Kolsen family: Kevin, Shederick and Immanuel, ready for action! Introducing the Snesrud family: Nels, Matt and Chris. On your marks, let's start...the Family Feud! (1975 FF Theme) With the star of Family Feud, Bill Skinner!Welcome to Family Feud! I'm so excited to get the opportunity to host what I'm hoping to be a fun and long-running game show. Now you know why they asked Richard Dawson to host this pilot back in '75: He was so good at matching contestants on Match Game and winning money for them, so here we are. And to help me get this started, I have the Kolsens and the Snesruds ready to do battle with each other. Kevin, are you ready to play? Nels, are you ready to play? Well, come on and join me right here at this podium! (1975 FF Face-Off Cue) Now, I want to wish all of you the best of luck, and the first family to 200 points wins the game and moves on to our Fast Money round at the end of the show. Here's how we determined the answers to be used on Family Feud: We conducted a survey of 100 random Americans, and asked them to give a response to a certain question. If two or more people had the same answer, then we put it in the game. For example, this question has the top eight answers on the board; your objective is to get the most popular answer.  Here we go with the first question: Name an instrument a kid plays in a school band. (As with the previous series, no buzzcodes will be used; you just need to be the first to ring in with a response.) |

Now I have to check the board and see where your answer falls. Is there a trumpet on the board?  clang!(bells jangling) Because 24 people replied with a trumpet, we now put 24 points up there.  (bell jangles) And so Nels, you have an important decision to make: Do you want to play the question, or pass control to the Kolsens and force them to play it? |

And so the Snesruds will play the question. Matt, you're up next to answer the question: Name an instrument a kid plays in a school band.

That's a great answer, and Erin, didn't you play flute in the band? ERIN: (off-camera) I certainly did, Bill.Let's see if a flute is there!  clang!14 people had that answer, so the score now stands at 38 points. Chris, can you name another instrument a kid plays in a school band? |

I'll bet you were a good one at that. And even if you weren't, I'd love to see it up there anyway. In the words of Sandy Nelson, let there be drums!  clang!It was the Number 5 answer, and we add 11 more points to make it 49. Let's keep it going, Nels. |

Another great answer. How about a clarinet?  clang!Adding four more points with that answer, for a total of 53. Matt, do you have another answer ready for us? |

Post by Bill Skinner on Aug 19, 2021 13:31:53 GMT -5
Another great answer, if I do say so myself. Let's see a tuba!  clang!That answer brings up the rear with the minimum of two people. Chris, your team has built up a 55-point score, and you're just three answers away from winning the round. What are you going to try this time? |

May be the Trombone?

Post by Bill Skinner on Aug 20, 2021 9:08:12 GMT -5
Sure, it may be. I don't see why the trumpet's sliding cousin would not be there. 76 trombones?  clang!16 people make it 71. So now there are just two answers left, Nels. Can you give me one of them? |

Maybe it could be up there, but you never know. Let me see a French horn!  buzz!Oh, now you got one strike against you, because that answer did not get at least two people. If you get three strikes, you no longer control the board. Matt, it's back to you again. |
