[Family Feud]

Considering that no one has decided to post in awhile, i thought i'd write a couple of thoughts on something dear to my heart. Family Feud.

Okay, so maybe Family Feud isn't really all that close to my heart or anything, but considering that i have had a rather mundane day, it is the most interesting aspect of today, and thus deserves to be talked about.

Remember a couple of years ago, when Family Feud was hosted by that one guy? I think his name was Pat Sajak. I don't remember though. That's not really the point either. The point is that it was cool. Then again, maybe it was because i was young and had no life. Back then all game shows seemed kinda cool. Nowadays it seems that the only thing in the ways of game shows are "Who wants to be a millionaire?" Frankly, i'm sick of watching Regis. And what the hell is up with those stupid computer simulators of that game show.

What ever happened to spinning wheels and choosing a vowel?

Well anyway, here i am today, and what just comes on? Family Feud! Only its not quite like i remember it. Now it has Louis Anderson as the host and instead of a turning board with the answers, it uses some computer generated thing. Yeah. Why is it that people think if something has a computer generated image, then it will get people to watch? Anyway though, i have to wonder why they chose Louis Anderson to host the show. Have you ever heard a cat choking on a furball the size of a goat? Listen to Mr. Anderson's voice and you might have a clue. It was kinda funny when it was on that cartoon show on fox a couple of years back, but now it is causes my cold to feel a great deal worse.

He is like the male version of that lady who played on "The Nanny". For all those of you wondering why i'd know that, it was what all the Price and Presentation women would watch in the breakroom at Target, so i was kinda forced to suffer in silence. That or go up against a rather large woman, and the odds on that just didn't seem to be in my favor. (Jimmy knows who i'm talking about.)

Maybe in truth Family Feud wasn't really that great. Still, it was one of those fond childhood memories. And as with all childhood memories, someone just has to go screwing it up. Oh well.
