Mark Goodson created ''Family Feud'' during the increasing popularity of his earlier game show, ''Match Game'', which had set daytime ratings records between 1973 and 1976, and on which Dawson appeared daily as one of its most popular panelists. ''Match Game'' aired on [[CBS]], and by 1976, CBS vice-president [[Fred Silverman]], who had originally commissioned ''Match Game'', had moved to a new position as president of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. The show, along with a revised daytime schedule for the summer, was first announced by ABC at an annual meeting in May.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=ABC adds another daytime half hour |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1976/1976-05-31-BC.pdf |magazine=[[Broadcasting & Cable|Broadcasting Journal]] |location=[[United States|U.S.]] |publisher=Broadcasting Publications |publication-date=May 31, 1976 |volume=90 |issue=122 |page=54 |access-date=June 11, 2020}}</ref> The show premiered on ABC's daytime lineup at 1:30&nbsp;p.m. ([[Eastern Time Zone|ET]])/12:30&nbsp;p.m. ([[Central Time Zone|CT]]/[[Mountain Time Zone|MT]]/[[Pacific Time Zone|PT]]) on July 12, 1976. Because it faced the first halves of two long-running and popular soap operas, CBS' ''[[As the World Turns]]'' and NBC's ''[[Days of Our Lives]],'' ''Feud'' was not an immediate hit. But a timeslot change several months later made it a ratings winner for ABC, and it eventually surpassed ''Match Game'' to become the highest-rated game show on daytime TV.

Due to the expansion of ''[[All My Children]]'' to one hour in April 1977, the show was moved to 11:30/10:30&nbsp;a.m., as the second part of an hour that had daytime reruns of ''[[Happy Days]]'' (later ''[[Laverne & Shirley]]'') as its lead-in. When the [[Dick Clark]]-hosted ''$20,000 Pyramid'' was canceled in June 1980, ''Feud'' moved a half-hour back to 12 noon/11:00&nbsp;a.m.<ref>{{cite web|title=Family Feud – A long history of successful programming.|url=http://www.mansfieldtv.com/family-feud.htm|publisher=Mansfield Television Distribution Co.|access-date=November 2, 2012|archive-date=February 16, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130216053157/http://www.mansfieldtv.com/family-feud.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> It remained the most popular daytime game show until [[Merv Griffin]]'s game show ''[[Wheel of Fortune (American game show)|Wheel of Fortune]],'' propelled by a new, highly-popular concurrent syndicated evening version, surpassed it in 1984.<ref name="David Schwartz 1995, p. 72" /> From May 8, 1978 until May 25, 1984, ABC periodically broadcast hour-long primetime "All-Star Specials", in which celebrity casts from various primetime TV series (mostly ABC ones) competed instead of ordinary families.<ref name="Brooks & Marsh" />

The popularity of the program inspired Goodson to consider producing a nighttime edition, which launched in syndication on September 19, 1977 with Viacom Enterprises as distributor. Like many other game shows at the time, the nighttime ''Feud'' aired once a week; it expanded to twice a week in January 1979,<ref name="David Schwartz 1995, p. 72">Schwartz, Ryan and Wostbrock, p. 72.</ref> and finally to five nights a week (Monday through Friday) in the fall of 1980, representing the first time that a weekday network game ran concurrently with a nightly syndicated edition. Dawson and ''Feud'' coasted for several years at the top, seen twice a day in much of the country.

However, the viewing habits of both daytime and syndicated audiences began changing around 1984.<ref name="David Schwartz 1995, p. 72" /> When Griffin launched ''Wheel''{{'}}s syndicated version, starring [[Pat Sajak]] and [[Vanna White]], in 1983, that show climbed the ratings to the point where it unseated ''Feud'' as the highest-rated syndicated show, even replacing it on some stations;<ref>Schwartz, Ryan and Wostbrock, pp. 250–252.</ref> the syndicated premiere of ''Wheel''{{'}}s sister show ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' with [[Alex Trebek]] as host also siphoned ratings from ''Feud'' with its early (and surprising, given an unstable first few months) success. With declining ratings (probably due mainly to its overexposure and viewers subsequently tiring of the show), and as part of a scheduling reshuffle with two of ABC's half-hour soaps, the show moved back to the 11:30/10:30 timeslot in October 1984, as the second part of a one-hour game show block with ''[[Trivia Trap]]'' (later ''[[All-Star Blitz]]'') as its lead-in, hoping to make a dent in the ratings of ''[[The Price Is Right]],'' coincidentally another Goodson-packaged show. Dawson also was growing increasingly exhausted with his workload. Having worked the equivalent of "eleven years" as host of ''Feud'', as he told the Archive of American Television in 2010, Dawson did not want to continue in his role much longer. 

As 1984 was drawing to a close, ABC had not announced its final decision on the fate of ''Feud'', but its contract with Mark Goodson Productions to continue the daytime series was expiring in the spring of 1985 and the network was not interested in renewal due to the downturn in ratings. Viacom had expressed interest to continue the syndicated series for an eighth season, contacting Dawson to gauge his interest. Dawson told the company that he would commit to doing one more season of 195 episodes for 1985-86, focusing solely on the syndicated series no matter what ABC decided, and "be done with it"; he then decided to wait for what he figured would be a contract offer.<ref>{{cite web|title=Richard Dawson Interview|url=http://emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/richard-dawson|publisher=Archive of American Television|access-date=11 May 2017}}</ref> However, in the interim, Viacom received a bit of news that caused a change in course.

When ''Feud'' began its run in syndication in 1977, [[NBC]] bought the show to air on its owned-and-operated stations in Prime Time Access slots. The show was still airing in those time slots as the season began, but NBC told Viacom that they would be dropping ''Feud'' at the end of the season due to the continued ratings slide. Instead of trying to find new affiliates in those markets, feeling that the ratings decline would only worsen, Viacom decided to cut their losses and shortly thereafter informed Dawson that they were not renewing ''Feud'' for another year; Viacom made this official at the 1985 [[NATPE]] convention in January.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=NATPE '85 |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1985/BC-1985-01-21.pdf |magazine=[[Broadcasting & Cable|Broadcating Journal]] |location=[[United States|U.S.]] |publisher=Broadcasting Publications |publication-date=January 21, 1985 |volume=108 |issue=3 |page=52 |access-date=September 9, 2023}}</ref> 

The ABC series, which had already been cancelled, came to an end on June 14, 1985.<ref name="David Schwartz 1995, p. 72" /> The final week was taped a month prior, on May 16. Newspapers via ''[[Associated Press]]'' reported that this version was slated to end on June 28. However, for reasons undisclosed, it ended two weeks prior to that instead.<ref>{{cite news|work=Lancaster New Era|location=Lancaster, Pennsylvania|title=''Last Family Feud Is Taped''|date=May 17, 1985}}</ref> The syndicated version aired its last new episode on May 17, 1985, with reruns of the final season continuing until September of that year. Although first-run episodes were no longer airing, Viacom offered a "best of" package of reruns to stations for the 1985-86 season; the package was withdrawn from syndication at the end of the season.<ref name="David Schwartz 1995, p. 72" />

=== 1988–1995 ===
{{refimprove-section|date=March 2024}}

''Family Feud'' moved to CBS with Ray Combs hosting the show on July 4, 1988 at 10:00&nbsp;a.m. (ET)/9:00&nbsp;a.m. (CT/MT/PT), replacing ''[[Pyramid (game show)|The $25,000 Pyramid]]'' (which had aired continuously in that time slot since September 1982, except between January and April 1988, when ''[[Blackout (game show)|Blackout]]'' took its place; CBS began development on ''Family Feud'' shortly after ''Blackout'' was canceled). Like its predecessor, this version had an accompanying syndicated edition which premiered September 19, 1988 and both editions started off well in the ratings.

However, the landscape in both daytime and first-run syndication was changing significantly during this time. Networks were starting to move away from game shows in their daytime lineups by the time the ''Feud'' revival launched in 1988; by the fall of 1991, only the daytime ''Feud'' and ''The Price Is Right'', both airing on CBS, were left standing. ''Feud'', like some others before it, was also prone to being preempted by CBS stations who wanted to air more profitable and successful syndicated offerings in the morning.<ref name="Brooks & Marsh" />

With the ratings for the daytime series at a low point in 1992, the producers of ''Feud'' instituted the aforementioned format changes, expanded it to an hour and renamed it ''Family Feud Challenge'', which saw two families compete in the first half of the hour to face the returning champion family in the second half. The changes did not do enough for CBS, which publicly announced in November 1992 that it would return the 10:00 AM hour to its affiliates the following fall, effectively canceling ''Feud''; the Daytime version ended March 26, 1993, with reruns continuing to air until September 10.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=McClellan |first=Steve |title=CBS To Give Back A.M.

The syndicated series, however, remained in production and entered its sixth season in September 1993. However, the series had also been struggling in the ratings for several years. While initially receiving desirable time slots such as the Prime Access slots it had previously enjoyed in some markets, it began to lose ground as stations looked elsewhere for programming; for example, tabloid newsmagazines like ''[[A Current Affair (American TV program)|A Current Affair]]'', ''[[Inside Edition]]'', ''[[Hard Copy]]'' and ''[[American Journal]]'' tended to draw better ratings, especially among younger demographics. The syndicated series found itself disappearing from some markets, while others saw the show relocated to much less desirable time slots such as the overnight hours. Ratings had virtually bottomed out during the 1992—93 television season and prior to the start of the sixth season, [[All American Television]], which had acquired the assets of ''Feud's'' former syndicator, [[Lexington Broadcast Services Company|LBS Communications]], met with the production staff of ''Feud'' and told them that the upcoming season would be their last as distributor, unless significant changes were made to the production.

Meanwhile, during the previous season, a shakeup had occurred at Mark Goodson Productions. Towards the end of 1992, company namesake Mark Goodson died of pancreatic cancer. His son [[Jonathan Goodson|Jonathan]] had taken over control of the production company and was now tasked with finding a solution to the ratings decline. One of the options considered was a host change, with original ''Feud'' host Richard Dawson's name being repeatedly mentioned as an option.<ref name="autogenerated2002" /> Dawson had largely kept out of the spotlight since the original edition of ''Feud'' had left the air in 1985, with his only role of note being his turn as Damon Killian in the 1987 film ''[[The Running Man (1987 film)|The Running Man]]''. In the intervening years, outside of a failed pilot for a revival of ''[[You Bet Your Life]]'', Dawson had been living with his most recent wife, a former contestant on the series, and was raising a child with her. He did show some interest in returning, however, and began talking with Goodson about a return.<ref name="autogenerated2002" />

The decision to attempt to bring back Dawson was a reversal from the decision made when the revival was first proposed. Mark Goodson himself had steadfastly refused to consider Dawson for the hosting position, due in large part to his behavior and clashes with the production staff when he hosted the original series. Many of those same staff members were working on the current series, including Felsher, with whom Dawson's relationship was particularly acrimonious. The elder Goodson also showed significant loyalty toward Combs as host, sticking with him despite the show's struggles, but with him deceased, Dawson signed on to come back to his former position, and All American Television renewed the syndicated ''Feud'' for the following season. Combs was allowed to finish the season, and with his final episode, he tersely addressed how being displaced made him feel like "a loser" and brusquely left the studio as the credits rolled. Combs committed suicide two years later, in part because of the career collapse brought on by the hosting change and the financial ramifications of unemployment.<ref name="combs-death-people">{{Cite web|date=June 17, 1996|title=Game Over|url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20141533,00.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110316170624/http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20141533,00.html|archive-date=March 16, 2011|access-date=June 8, 2021|website=[[People (magazine)|People]]}}</ref>

A revamped ''Family Feud'' returned for a seventh season in September 1994 with a significant number of changes made. In addition to Dawson's return and a modernizing of the show's set, the ''Family Feud Challenge'' format was reinstated as the show expanded to a full hour. However, the stations that were airing the show had the option to not air the first half of the program and instead simply carry the second half as a standalone half-hour. Dawson's return brought an initial surge in ratings, but it was not sustainable long term, and Dawson's (and the run's) last episode as host aired on May 26, 1995. The show continued in reruns until September 8 of that year.

''Family Feud'' returned in syndication on September 20, 1999, with comedian Louie Anderson as the next host.<ref name="TGGS, 108">{{cite book|title=TV's Greatest Game Shows: Television's Favorite Game Shows from the 50s, 60s, & More!|publisher=Marshall Publishing & Promotions, Inc.|last=DeMichael|first=Tom|year=2009|page=108|isbn=978-0-9814909-9-1}}</ref> Three years later, Richard Karn took over the series, at which point the format was changed to reintroduce returning champions, allowing them to appear for up to five days.<ref name="Brooks & Marsh" /> At the time, Anderson-hosted episodes continued in reruns that aired on [[Ion Television|PAX TV/Ion Television]] following his departure. 

In a 2024 interview, Karn stated that the producers of ''Family Feud'' originally wanted [[Al Roker]] to replace Anderson following his departure. However, Roker turned down the opportunity as he did not want to leave [[New York City]], leading the producers to choose Karn as host. Karn jokingly said that he was chosen as he was "the next Al on the list" referencing his character [[Al Borland]] on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] show ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]''.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iIY5fiimUc |title=Richard Karn on Hosting Family Feud, the Viral Richard Karn NFT Story, & His Huskies Fandom (Starts at 6:10 mark) |date=2024-01-08 |last=LeBatardShow |access-date=2025-02-09 |via=YouTube}}</ref> Roker would ultimately host the first season of ''Celebrity Family Feud'' on NBC, which aired in summer 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Adalian |first=Josef |date=2008-03-26 |title='Family Feud' heading to primetime |url=https://variety.com/2008/scene/news/family-feud-heading-to-primetime-1117982926/ |access-date=2025-02-10 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref> 

Karn hosted the show for four years until he was replaced by John O'Hurley in 2006. By 2010, the show's [[Nielsen ratings]] were at 1.5, putting it in danger of cancellation once again (as countless affiliates that carried the show from 1999 to 2010 aired it in daytime, graveyard or other low-rated time slots). That same year, O'Hurley left the show after four years and was replaced by Steve Harvey, who has hosted the show ever since.

Since Harvey took over the show, ratings increased by as much as 40%,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.eurweb.com/2010/10/family-feud-ratings-jump-with-steve-harvey/|title='Family Feud' Ratings Jump with Steve Harvey|publisher=eurweb.com|date=October 19, 2010|access-date=November 3, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301060950/http://www.eurweb.com/2010/10/family-feud-ratings-jump-with-steve-harvey/|archive-date=March 1, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> and within two short years, the show was rated at 4.0, and had become the fifth-most-popular syndicated program.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Albiniak|first=Paige|title=Steve Harvey, Syndication King?

Steve Harvey's ''Family Feud'' has regularly ranked among the top 10 highest-rated programs in all of daytime television programming and third among game shows (behind ''Wheel of Fortune'' and ''Jeopardy!''); in February 2014, the show achieved a 6.0 share in the Nielsen ratings, with approximately 8.8 million viewers.<ref>{{cite web|last=Bibel|first=Sara|date=February 19, 2014|title=Syndicated TV Ratings: 'Judge Judy' Again Number One in Households, 'Wheel of Fortune' Wins Total Viewers & 'Dr. Phil' Top Talker for Week Ending February 9, 2014|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/02/19/syndicated-tv-ratings-judge-judy-again-number-one-in-households-wheel-of-fortune-wins-total-viewers-dr-phil-top-talker-for-week-ending-february-9-2014/237793/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226152413/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/02/19/syndicated-tv-ratings-judge-judy-again-number-one-in-households-wheel-of-fortune-wins-total-viewers-dr-phil-top-talker-for-week-ending-february-9-2014/237793/|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 26, 2014|work=[[TV by the Numbers]]|publisher=Zap2it|access-date=July 20, 2014}}</ref> In June 2015, ''Family Feud'' eclipsed ''Wheel of Fortune,'' which had been on top for over 30 years, as the most-watched syndicated game show on television, and consistently began ranking among the top three shows in all of syndication.

It has been airing in early fringe and prime access slots nationwide.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/family-feud-ratings-tops-syndication-1201526217/|title=Ratings: ''Family Feud'' Tops All of Syndication for First Time|work=Variety|publisher=Penske Business Media, LLC|last=Kissell|first=Rick|date=June 23, 2015|access-date=July 14, 2015}}</ref>

Production of ''Family Feud'' was shifted from [[Universal Orlando]] to Harvey's hometown of [[Atlanta]] in 2011, first staged at the [[Atlanta Civic Center]] from 2011 to 2015 and later at the [[Georgia World Congress Center]] from 2015 to 2017 and from 2020 to 2021. Harvey was also originating a [[The Steve Harvey Morning Show|syndicated radio show]] from Atlanta, and the state of Georgia provided [[tax credit]]s for the production. In 2017, production moved to [[Los Angeles Center Studios]] (later moved again to [[Universal Studios Hollywood]] and later still to [[CBS Studio Center]]) in Los Angeles to accommodate Harvey's new syndicated talk show ''[[Steve (TV series)|Steve]]'', returning production of the regular series to Los Angeles for the first time since 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2011/05/family-feud-apopka-family-plays-this-week.html|title='Family Feud': Apopka family plays this week; show won't return to Orlando|website=Orlando Sentinel|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118010308/http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2011/05/family-feud-apopka-family-plays-this-week.html|archive-date=January 18, 2012|url-status=dead|access-date=September 6, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2017/06/15/family-feud-moving-production-from-atlanta-to-los-angeles/|title='Family Feud' moving production from Atlanta to Los Angeles|work=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution|access-date=2017-09-06|archive-date=September 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906135742/http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2017/06/15/family-feud-moving-production-from-atlanta-to-los-angeles/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2017/02/03/steve-harvey-moving-radio-show-from-atlanta-to-los-angeles/|title=Steve Harvey moving radio show from Atlanta to Los Angeles|work=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution|access-date=2017-09-06|archive-date=September 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906135629/http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2017/02/03/steve-harvey-moving-radio-show-from-atlanta-to-los-angeles/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.upi.com/Family-Feud-relocating-to-Atlanta/13291307292376/|title='Family Feud' relocating to Atlanta|date=2011-06-05|work=UPI|access-date=2017-09-06|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906135315/http://www.upi.com/Family-Feud-relocating-to-Atlanta/13291307292376/|archive-date=2017-09-06|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In March 2020, after initially announcing that production would continue with no studio audience, Fremantle suspended production of all of its programs (including ''Family Feud'') due to the onset of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United States|COVID-19 pandemic]].
