is this complete

I'll bet Bob Barker ever regretted working for Chuck Barris. If it's almost a complete clone of another format, you would probably think it's going to fail.

Great game ! It reminds me of a cross between The Newlywed Game, Family Feud, Three's a Crowd, and Child's Play.

Ironicly, this was the only episode left in existance (according to Wikipedia). Producer Barris got so paranoid after hearing that ABC had erased the tapes that he kept the master copies from 1967 on of The Dating Game, The Newlywed GaMe & so forth as long as it was in color and not B&W. It isn't known how many tapes he has preserved since.

The font in that "Family Game" logo sorta reminds me of the font used on the classic "Family Feud" logo.

[MegastarLV]

It's actually the same font.

It's just "The Newlywed Game" all over again. No wonder it failed miserably.

That Chris kid was really natural. He got a laugh out of Barker, probably not easy to do. It was a funny joke, actually.

What time of day did this show air? It was so patterened after The Newlywed Game I can't believe Barris allowed it. Was Johnny Jacobs the announcer?

[LeroyBright]

@vintagetv My earlest recollection as a child, dates it back to 1967 Weekdays at 11:30 A.M.(ET) on ABC.

[katmusic2006]

why do i get the feeling this was a chuck barris production?

[JeffreyBeanJr]

According to Wiki, Barris hosted the pilot.

[Rlotpir1972]

You're right. It's actually a prelude to "The Newlywed Game" with the same eggcrate scoreboards and the entire layout.

[depg1979]

The logo of TFG(The Family Game)is very similar to the Family Feud logo inside a cirlcle-type oval,don't you think?
