Consolation Prize: In addition to the aforementioned Bonus Round consolation of $5 per point, during the syndicated Dawson era (starting somewhere around 1978 and continuing to the end of the run), he would often give the losing family $250 as a consolation just for playing.Confetti Drop: Starting with the Combs version, balloons would generally be released upon tournament wins.Lampshaded in the Mad Magazine parody Family Fools when one family asks Dawson what happens if they decide to pass and he admits he has no idea since no one ever does it.The Combs/Dawson '94 versions did not have the play/pass option, but it returned with the Anderson version.
From 1983-85, wooden "trees" with Tootsie Roll Pops were placed at the end of each family's table.
Over time, the only changes have been in the time limit and amount of cash offered for a win (yes, even after all these years, losses are still $5 a point). If the total is at least 200, the family wins a cash jackpot, and if below the family receives $5 a point. Two contestants from the winning family are brought out and, one at a time, asked five survey questions, with their totals added up for their answers (answers cannot be repeated if the second contestant gives a duplicate answer, he or she is asked to give another).

While a ratings success, Combs never quite caught on with fans and critics like Dawson did, so when ratings dipped (and the show started bringing on B/C-List celebrities and professional wrestlers as contestants as a gimmick) Combs was fired and Dawson came back for one last season before the show was mercifully removed from the airwaves. The CBS show was renamed Family Feud Challenge in 1992, with the syndicated version being renamed The New Family Feud later that year. Ray Combs was the host of the first Family Feud Revival on CBS and in syndication starting in 1988. The original version began in 1976, with a concurrent syndication run starting up a year later both ended in 1985 within a month of each other. Richard Dawson was the original host when the show debuted on ABC.
