More fainting over Steve

Funniest thing on the GSN board in a while is the rumpus over the evil Steve Harvey and his corruption of America's youth. I put in my own "change for a ten"...

Gee, I guess we're gonna have to ban the "prostitution" episode of Dawson Feud, when Richard asked everybody if they had change for a ten. (A YouTube moment, by the way.) This Legion of Decency crusade against Harvey Feud is getting downright funny.

Legion of Decency crusader: Did Dawson ever go around saying "Man Berries"...Even someone as close minded as you can't say that those aren't pushing the envelope on a Family oriented Game Show. If you had kids, would you want them to be hearing these kinds of answers?

Another, more rational poster: True, but Richard went for the joke, and it was a reference to the act of prostitution. I'm not saying what happened on this recent episode is any better, but Dawson shouldn't be let off the hook just because it's "classic" Family Feud or because he's the almighty Richard Dawson.

You're right, of course, but that's exactly why the Dawson incident is gladly accepted on this board, while the Harvey incident is just so shocking (har-dee-har-har).

The rational poster again: Considering the fact that ratings for the show keep going up, I don't think that many people are getting up in arms about what is being said.

Oh, it's just a tiny number of posters on Internet boards. Family Feud's audience doesn't mind at all. Exactly the opposite, in fact. Harvey has attracted many more viewers to the show. That's why he earned a renewal through 2015.

Even the TV raters give Harvey a TV-PG rating, same as Karn and O'Hurley. Not to mention that GSN's viewers have almost immediately made Harvey Feud the most popular show on the network, with six of the top ten slots in the latest week.

By the way, the term "man berries" did make me faint dead away. But I somehow revived. As for my kids, believe me, they saw and heard a lot more explicit stuff in their school sex-ed classes. Maybe we should ban those suckers. They've got pictures of the man berries!
