** In a 1982 episode, a Triple Round question about days when kids get a lot of candy had "Saturday" as the #4 answer. Dawson determined that the question was unfair because no one could have possibly guessed a day of the week, and he made an on-the-spot decision to let both families play again the next day.

* RearrangeTheSong: The show's iconic theme song is a remix of a music cue from ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' with a banjo line added. The Combs version remixed the theme in stereo, removed the introductory banjo and added a synth drum line. Upon Dawson's return in 1994, the show used a jazz re-orchestration of the theme. Louie's version used its own generic "party" theme. Both Karn's and O'Hurley's runs alternated between a different "party" theme and an edit of the Combs theme. Once Harvey took over, the Combs theme became official again on television, though John Lewis Parker (composer of the "party" theme) is still listed in the credits, and portions of said "party" theme are still heard in tie-ins to the show.

* CutShort: The original ABC version was set to end on June 28, 1985, according to newspapers via ''Associated Press''. However, for reasons that remain unclear to this very day, it instead ended two weeks earlier on June 14. In 2022, Bob Boden confirmed to Connor Higgins, who had done videos on the history of the show, that the final two ABC weeks never aired originally. Those remaining ten episodes would finally air on GSN roughly 15 years later.

** The 2020 season had some regular games stretched to fill the hour-long time slot as opposed to two games on one episode. In the following season, hour-long episodes had a second Triple round in place of Sudden Death.

** The three Pilots from May 1976 used a different set, different sound effects, different Strike graphics and Johnny Olson instead of Gene Wood. Further, all rounds were Single-value with first to $200 winning. Even more of a beta, Pilot #1 introduced the families as "In this corner!" instead of "Introducing...". And Richard would cue the bank being added with a separate "ting" sound for every question, rather than just the first two.
** The 1992 pilots for ''Family Feud Challenge'' featured a radically-different (and much more complicated) format, including a much longer and more convoluted Bullseye round.
