20 seasons already

A press release in my inbox this morning reminds me how time flies. The latest run of Family Feud is 20 years old.

Broadway World publishes the same release, with the same burbling quotes from Steve Harvey. He's careful to praise showrunner Gabi Johnston, since it never hurts for the host and the showrunner to get along. Remember Richard Dawson and Howard Felsher?

Harvey is up for his ninth season on the show, and he's closing in on Dawson's longevity record. The release notes that Feud is now number one in Nielsen's syndie ratings, though that comes with a large unmentioned caveat. (I won't state the caveat because it seems to irritate some readers, but you know what I'm talking about.)

The game show Interwebs are unremittingly hostile to Harvey's version of Feud, which really bothers him. (Chuckle, chuckle.) As long as the beancounters approve, Steve is a contented man. He shows off his happiness with new eps starting September 10.
