Richard was also a lot more assertive in this first season in pushing the families to come up with answers and make decisions. And the judges were a lot quicker with that 3 second buzzer, too.
Although both Jake and Elwood Blues performed on Saturday Night Live earlier in 1976 when this episode was released, it would be two more years later before they became known as "The Blues Brothers". (Which is why they weren't mentioned in "name a famous pair of brothers).
Notice how, in these early "Feud" episodes, the big board is positioned lower than it would eventually be, which made for some interesting shots, such as in the second part of the bonus round, in which both the board and contestant were in the same shot, as opposed to board shot. I'm thinking that changed after the show's taping relocated from ABC's Vine St. Theater to Prospect Studios. Also, Gene Wood's intros were more vibrant and "twanged" than they would eventually be.
These early episodes could handle a maximum of 12 answers to poll questions while the modern game hosted by Steve Harvey have a maximum of 8 answers for each poll.
My guess for the Soap Opera Question presumably would have been 1 of the following 3. 1: All My Children 2: General Hospital 3: The Young & The Restless
It’s nice to see fairly intelligent people on this show. The new episodes with Steve Harvey are so “ghetto” and “dumbed down”. What happened to our country?
The hot fiddle opening to the Family Feud theme!
Thank you so much for sharing an American relic!

It seems unusual that the families don't shake hands when go to face-off.
I definitely thought Brothers Grimm would have been up there.

They all look like they're in disguise. 😀😊

I guessed General Hospital too. Guess we were wrong on that one but I bet it got more points than MH/MH😂
"How 'bout that Oaxacan?"
I think John Oaxaca looks like Richard Kiel. His nickname should be Jaws!
~Dutch
The character Adam Goldberg looks like Francisco.
It seems RD felt that "passing" was the better option if you won the face-off.
Damn, what happened to the Yata Family. Charles was so funny.
How come Warner Brothers isn't on the board??
Gene Wood and Richard Dawson got confused.
Oh, I forgot, the year was perhaps, '77, '78, '79 possibly 76.
I noticed Richard doesn't kiss the ladies in the early episodes... Wonder when that changed...
When was the 1st time he gave a woman a kiss for luck? Which show was it?. He did not do that in the 1st few shows.
That's OK.
He does resemble Richard Kiel.
Who resembles Richard Kiel?
He's being kind of mean about the timer.

@jamesivy1983 A little more than a year later.

I Hate Christmas Songs
I listen to Christmas songs all year long. They're so much fun.
Warner would have been a good answer to the second question
