With that being said, not every game show is the same. Two popular and well-known game shows that have been around for what seems like forever are Family Feud and Jeopardy. Created by Merv Griffin Jeopardy first aired October 1964 on NBC a game show where contestants are given six categories with selected clues related to each subject. Not too long after ABC aired their own game show by Mark Goodson titled Family Feud , where two families go head to head on trying to give the best answered to survey questioned asked around the nation. A few differences between the two shows is the atmosphere; the hosts, audiences, and music. Another way in which Family Feud and Jeopardy are unlike is the game itself, including the point system and rules used in each. Even though both Jeopardy and Family Feud are primetime game shows, Family Feud is a more entertaining show. As previously stated, the difference in atmosphere between Family Feud and Jeopardy is evident. Both shows have exceptional hosts, but they each …show more content…

The questions are usually random and silly which makes the show more entertaining. (Ex: “If the underwear you’re wearing could talk, what would they say?”) The questions and answers on Jeopardy are quite the opposite. Jeopardy is knowledge based and factual which makes the game show more challenging than Family Feud. To prepare for Family Feud, one should simply be ready to answer basic questions quickly enough and of course, know how to enjoy oneself. Jeopardy would take a great deal of preparation such as studying and memorizing nearly anything from sports, music, and literature to history, science, and religion among other categories/topics on the

  • Comparison Of Geeks And Gilmore Girls

    486 Words  | 2 Pages

    When comparing and contrasting the two television shows, Freaks and Geeks (1999), and the Gilmore Girls (2000), these are definitely two of the best shows about what it was like for an adolescent to be in high school in the past 3 or 4 decades. When I was a teenager in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, the shows that spoke to us about high school life were Eight is enough (1977) and James at 15 (1977). These shows dealt with issues of the time as well, but with Freaks and Geeks, the writers really were able to depict life in 1980 for young teenagers. Even though I was in my early 30’s when it came out, it still took me back to that time and brought back that teenage angst. It goes to show that no matter how old a person is, what era they grew up in, or are growing up in, the issues that adolescents deal with on a daily basis are still there, the playing field may just change a little bit.

The game show host of home Family Feud, Steve Harvey, is a comedian and would never cause anyone harm. Alain does make a good point however, it is easy to understand why one would think that chief humorists are trying to target a select few either throughout a show or act.

Spontaneous melodramatic scenes and actual events are the usual themes of the show. Moreover, ordinary people rather than celebrities are the ones getting the spotlight.
