Dick DeBartolo also wrote for game shows produced by Family Feud producers Goodson-Todman, and felt writing this would be a conflict of interest, so wrote this pseudonymously.

Family Feud has gone through countless incarnations throughout the years. The basic premise is the contestants competing are two families. The version being spoofed here is the first one hosted by Richard Dawson.

Dawson's schtick on the show was kissing the female contestants, a move today that would be considered sexual assault.

The questions asked of each contestant were based on a survey by the audience taken previously.

Rickshaws are a product of China. Duh.

All-Star, later Celebrity Family Feud was a series of prime-time specials that pitted casts on television programs against each other.

   -Dawson had previously been a cast member on the sitcom Hogan's Heroes fifteen years earlier.
   -Commercials for Sanka Coffee with Robert Young were ubiquitous.
