Oh wow. I had no idea he died until I saw this question! :/

I watch the original one when it comes on but Steve Harvey is doing a really good job with it.

RIP Richard Dawson!

I watched it back in the day, and I watched when Louis Anderson was hosting, but it's a joke now. Steve Harvey sucks.

rarely but once in a while I do, and I like the old ones better.

It's a fun show, and i watch once in a while, but Dawson was the best host. I like that GSN still plays Match Game and Family Feud, though they don't play the old shows as much as they used to. It was also a kick to see him as the evil game host in "The Running Man" (1987), which was a reasonably enjoyable action movie based on a Richard Bachmann (aka Stephen King) story.

Quite frankly ..

(waiting around .. sigh .. that's when you're a captive audience)

Don't watch Family Feud that much, but I do watch the old ones on game show network... I prefer Match game... it's sad how they are all dropping dead from that show...

I was never a fan of the show regardless of the host, but I really enjoyed Richard Dawson on Match Game which I love watching re-runs of!

After seeing "The Running Man" did you start to wonder if Richard Dawson was closer to that character in reality, than the warm hearted person he appeared to be on FF? :-)

On occasion maybe. Steve Harvey is good at it, but like Johnny Carson, Richard Dawson will forever be paired with Family Feud and Hogans Heroes... RIP Richard, and thank you for many many wonderful hilarious moments....September.... lmfao.. still makes me smile when I think about it... Woman was asked what month a woman begins to show.... the lady said September....Richard damn near peed himself and could hardly get the question out again.. very funny and truly shows the humanity and joy he had in that role/job....
