Steve Harvey is a pretty funny guy. I haven’t heard much of his actual standup, but from what I have heard, he’s pretty good. Good enough to where he’s a pretty familiar name to most people these days. But quite frankly, not even he can really save what has become of the once popular game show, Family Feud.
I used to love Family Feud, back in the day it was hosted by Richard Dawson. My parents speak very little English, but even they enjoyed watching Family Feud. I have a lot of fond memories actually watching Family Feud together with my parents and sister, like a real, stereotypical family. The questions were basic and general, and just about anyone watching at home could have a fighting chance if they were remotely third-grade educated, or had been simply living for a while.
When I have lunchtime workouts, I’m running on the treadmill at right around the time when today’s Steve Harvey Family Feud reruns are running on what used to be TBS. I used to watch ESPN, but for a channel that’s supposed to cover all sports, they can’t seem to not stop talking about NFL, NCAA football, golf, or NBA. It’s almost as if they’re resentful that MLB has their own network, just like the NFL and NBA has, and does whatever they can to Rosa Parks the shit out of baseball coverage. Needless to say, Steve Harvey Family Feud episodes are a lesser evil, and I’ve been watching them for a few weeks now, prompting me to finally post something about how much it sucks and how wrong it is these days.
