What's with the TPIR Sounds?

[Permaglo]

Mark Goodson liked to recycle. He also used the losing horn and the theme to Double Dare for the gameshow "Card Sharks." The theme to "Family Feud" began as a car cue on TPIR.

Actually Card Sharks stole the theme from them. This show premiered in 1976, Card Sharks came along in 1978.

When dad worked at a restaurant in NJ, Alex Trebek was a customer at that restaurant, and they had a brief conversation.

@jubjub449 Y'know, it's common for shows produced by the same company for the same network to recycle sounds. A lot of Goodson-Todman shows on ABC used the Family Feud sounds, for example. As would GT shows on NBC using Card Sharks and/or Password Plus sounds...

Then, there's versions of Family Feud in Latin America that recycle 100 Mexicanos Dijeron's sounds... also common with Central-produced shows on ITV in England and Grundy-produced shows on the Nine Network in Australia.

@RoboTekno Wrong version of Double Dare that's Marc Summers version of Double Dare not Alex Trebecks version.

Who as the guy who ran across the stage on 2:26 when the contestant was next to Alex?

@Permaglo Yes!! The Family Feud theme is the car cue from THE PRICE IS RIGHT. The Price Is Right losing horns are from SHOWOFFS, CARD SHARKS, DOUBLE DARE and others from Goodson game shows.
