Barbara Mandrell Feuding Families

NOTE: Thirteen years later, both the Mandrells and the Statlers actually appeared on the show hosted by the late Ray Combs during a special week in Opryland in 1993.

The story does not end happily, however; the Ericksons ultimately lose to their opponents on (largely) her answer to the question "Name Something You Use Scouring Powder on", "Windows". The remaining answer in fact was "Toilet".

NOTE: Much of that same episode ultimately resurfaced on YouTube and as a result the unidentifiable opposing family was finally identified as The Dolvens.

The MTV/Syn game show Remote Control featured one of the categories called Survey Says (for which in turn the title itself is based on the most popularly well-known catchphrase of the same name) which was a Family Feud-like game that featured five correct answers to it was asked to the contestants. After Kari Wuher left the show in 1988, the premise was changed as Casey's Big Poll hosted by John Ten Eyck imitating the late radio personality Casey Kasem that was accompanied by a burly man in drag most commonly known as "My lovely wife Jeannie" otherwise, the rules remained the same.

A 1991 episode the ABC sitcom Dinosaurs called Family Challenge (not to be confused with the short-lived 1995-1997 Family Channel game show of the same name) was a parody of Feud where the Sinclairs go on the show in order to win a new 90-inch TV after the old one was broken. However, they didn't manage to win the new 90-inch Tv but got a 13-inch TV instead.

In a 1996 episode of the classic Nickelodeon (or in this case "Nicktoons") series Rocko's Modern Life called "Heff in a Handbasket", Heffer goes on a TV game show called Triple 6 hosted by a black-hooded wearing guy named Peaches where round 2 is similarly based on Feud which only features three made up family members named Heffo (wife), Heffa (brother) and Heffie (sister). Starting with the top three answers on the board Peaches didn't finish reading the question due to Heffer's interruptions by ringing-in and answering "Sea Monkeys" which failed to make the survey. Then Heffo says "poopourri!" which again also didn't make the survey as well but Heffer says the show's actual catchphrase to his made up wife Heffo "Good Answer!". Peaches (in frustration) screams "SILENCE! You will wait until I read the..." as both Heffo and Heffa ring-in and say again at the same time "Sea Monkeys!" and of course that didn't make it on the board as well. In the end, Heffer shouts "On to the next round, come on Peaches." as Heff's made up family disappears as Peaches smacks his face with his hand.

The episode also has a share of rounds from Jeopardy!, Pyramid and Wheel of Fortune.

A 2012 (originally February 19, 2012) episode of the FOX (now TBS) animated series American Dad called "Old Stan in the Mountain" Steve Smith finds an aged Stan Smith with a knife that Stan intended to stab his son with after he believes that both Steve and Hailey were out to kill him at Mount Kilimanjaro. Steve misinterprets Stan's intentions and thinks he was out to whittle some wood as he carves himself a totem pole with the faces of five Family Feud hosts which includes: Richard Dawson, Ray Combs, Louie Anderson, Richard Karn and Steve Harvey but omitting John O'Hurley.

A 2013 episode of Fox & Friends featured the cast playing a Family Feud-like mini game called Survey Says(for which in turn, the title itself is based on the show's most popularly well-known catchphrase of the same name) along with its props and software provided by The Game Show Source as part of The Great American Game Show week featuring Louie Anderson (who has previously hosted the syndicated version from 1999 until 2002) returning to host this particular episode.

NOTE: During that week, they've also played games called Wheel of Fun (Wheel of Fortune), In it to Win It (Minute to Win It), Ultimate Countdown and Game Show Mania.

On Celebrity Name Game, the podiums that are being used for the celebrities and contestants looks very similar to that of the original Richard Dawson era of Feud. Additionally, on a February 21, 2017, episode when Craig Ferguson says that he would be the clue giver in round 3. The 1988-94 theme song of Feud is played since both shows are owned by FremantleMedia North America now Fremantle.

In a 2015 episode (originally April 28, 2015) of The Nostalgia Critic (Doug Walker) reviewing the action/adventure 2005 film The Legend of Zorro, in the scene where Zorro and Elena Montero (played by Antonio Banderas and Catherine-Zeta Jones respectively) fight against the bad guys. Both Zorro and Elena, at one point, use their swords to carve out their first letters on a guy's pants by his butt cheeks. The critic then shouts the show's actual catchphrase "Survey Says..." as it briefly cuts to a survey board from the current Harvey era with the top six answers on it showing the top answer on the board only that says "Pretty Lame" (with no people agreeing in the survey) as the Critic says that particular scene in general was "Pretty lame, that was pretty lame".

In 2017, rapper JAY-Z (a.k.a. HOVA & JIGGA) had a brand new rap song called "ironically enough" Family Feud (which can be heard on his album 4:44) featuring his wife Beyonce (doing vocals of course) who also had a brief reference to its current host who claims that "But my stash can't fit into Steve Harvey's suit".

On a April 10, 2019 episode of The Goldbergs called I Lost on Jeopardy!, a clip of Feud (Dawson) can be briefly seen on television.

On the October 4, 2019 episode of Teen Titans Go! called "Cartoon Feud", the Teen Titans (Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven) go on the Feud to face off against the Scooby gang (Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo). The Titan's nemesis Control Freak is the host of the show, though it uses the Dawson era-style set and the current theme song.

An April 10, 2020 episode of The Annoying Orange had Orange, Pear, Midget Apple, Grandpa Lemon and Grapefruit all competing on a parody of the Feud called "Family Food" (not to be confused with the Sesame Street parody from 1981 or the Burger King promotion from 2012 respectively). The host was a knife named Steve Carvey, who is a parody of Steve Harvey. Instead of $20,000 being the grand prize, the prize on this version was a motorboat, which Orange does a lot of with his mouth. The fruits face off against the vegetables (a broccoli, a squash, a carrot, a cucumber and a red pepper). The fruits wound up winning the game, despite Orange's annoying antics. However, the giant motorboat lands on the vegetables and Carvey once the game ends. Orange then replies "Holy Ship!" (a reference to the actual profane word "Holy S*it") and laughs, much to the annoyance of his friends.
