My mother in law, wife and I were starting to watch family feud. Everyone of us thought it was like the old ones where it was family oriented, and then all of a sudden when Steve Harvey asked where a "women's vacations place was? He then pulled up "coochie"(female genitalia). He then goes on about with the show and he decided to say what do teenagers do on dates, and he added "humping". This is absolutely absurd, especially if my children were watching this. Because I grew up with this show it would not have been my fault that I made a mistake that my children would have watched it, this would have been the Company's fault. If they did see the episode that I just watched, then I would have started to call my attorney because that is a known form of child abuse. I want this matter looked into right away. This type of stuff should be rated mature only, and highly advised for adults, if it is going to be on the air. Better yet, take the show off all together, Steve Harvey ruined a classic. I was raised by my grandparents and I am 32, this should say a lot if I am complaining.

Family Feud should be cancelled (or sued). It is a disgusting show. Here it is, Christmas Day (12/25/14) The question: What do grown women like to play with? One of the answers: Vibrators/cucumbers. Another question today: What is something a prisoner might make as a last request? One of the answers: Vee-jay-jay/Man meat.

This is SUPPOSED to be a family show! Here in Buffalo it's on between 5 and 6...prime time for children. This show is not appropriate for family hour. Steve Harvey should be ashamed of himself. He's a disgusting pig.

Steve is NOT THE PROBLEM it’s the NETWORK! He’s an employee...! Don’t shoot the messenger! Or is it because he’s black it’s his fault?!

Society is to vulgar and also politically correct! It’s ok to say NO I don’t want vulgarity on my shows that I watch with my kids! Especially a show called “Family Fued”

I was watching the show today Tuesday, January 27, 2015. I like Steve Harvey, but some of the questions are to sexual and offensive.
The question today was about a card game that describes a woman's love life and one of the answers was old maid. I realize this
was a game back in the day, but people use the word in a negative and hurtful way. I won't let any young people under 18 watch this show. Tv has become unwatchable and trashy.

The question and answers on the show are offensive and crude. You know the audience did not say some of the answers. This is ridiculous. I am going to stop watching until this changes and I will make sure everyone knows how crude it is,

We watch this "family show" and I am on the verge of banning this show in my house because the questions are not family friendly at all! I don't like having my 7 year old son ask me "what's a dildo" which was one of the answers to one of the questions. It blows me away that this kind of content is allowed on a "family show" ! At least one question each episode is sexual and that's not ok with me! I will be looking for something else to watch from now on during the time we would have been watching Family Feud!

May 2017 - the answer to "what every man would want that James Bond " ( paraphrase). Instead of saying " women" or " a lot of women"., the answer was, referring to the movie title and at the same time a pun "Pussy Galore". The thing is the contestant did not use the words; that was the answer the judges put on the board

I just watched that episode tonight and I was shocked and repulsed by that coming up on the board. That was so uncalled for. Just vulgar and degrading to women. That is the producers fault. The contestant answered "beautiful woman" and "pussy galore " shows on the board. It's called Family Feud, not vulgar feud. :(

They shoulkd be fined by some government organization, and Steve Harvey should say some thing

and not hide behind the millions. This is outrageous that the producers put "pussy galore" as an answer to the question, "what does every man envy about James Bond", and that was the number #1 answer. Shouldn't someone be saying "no we can't put that out, that is way over the top" and we could get in trouble.

Instead someone who edits this said thats fine, that is not fine, and that person who missed that should be fired on the spot. This is not ok, this is what we get in a F*&^%$g democratic nation, lets be liberated and say whatever we want like drug,sex and rockk nroll like in the sixtys, that why the correct people are called "conservatives" we think before WE TALK N ACT. Damn liberals!

Tonight's episode one question was what should be illegal to wear of your out of shape? Who decides weither someone is in shape or not? Some of the answers were :

Shorts, tight jeans, skirt, bikini was #1 answer. I myself am 5'9 160lbs and I am offended from theses questions. Steve Harvey is not only an employee I'm sure he has a say as to which questions are asked. He's just as responsible

Too many sexual questions or so called surveys. It takes away from a decent show that the whole family could watch.

This show use to be family oriented until Steve Harvey decided that it was okay to say anything he wanted to. The unnecessary vulgar language is ridicules. I can’t even allow my 4 children aging from 2yrs. - 10 yrs old watch your show. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT! It’s a shame it has gotten to this point.
