Thanks for posting. I was unaware of the historical importance of this episode.

I think it's incredible how Richard Dawson met his future wife Gretchen on this episode! They were the perfect couple and they very easily fell in love with one another! It's so sad that Richard is gone now. He was the best host Family Feud ever had and he will be dearly missed forever. Rest In Peace Richard Dawson! ~Dutch

Now guys don't feud over this! 😉

[@ceciliahernandez5007]

Beautiful love story.miss him a lot.

[@trishross6493]

Yes he was a wonderful man!

[@lancasterII]

Imagine had the other fellow just buzzed in with MONDAY as the #1 answer Dawson may never have connected with Gretchen...

[@mnn6494]

At the very end when she realizes she reached the 200 point mark and hugged him, his smile was very genuine.

[@yonihales9133]

Richard reported on his return tp the show in 94? Shannon (his n Gretchens daughter who was 3 yo at the time) saw older shows and told her Daddy he could only kiss 2 girls, she and her Mommy. :)

[@WilsonEatsASMR]

Even though Gretchen became his wife, the older sister definitely had a thing for Richard! haha

[@steve2474]

Yes, I wonder if she REALLY had a wardrobe malfunction when she was at the stand or if that was part of the plan to get into Dawson's head. Maybe she did, but given what transpired, I have to wonder. Wendy was certainly quite charming, personable, and beautiful.

[@trishross6493]

Ooh yes she sure did!

[@jmiller297]

Gretchen kinda looks like Mary Cadorette from the "Three's Company" spin-off, "Three's A Crowd!" :-)

Filling in for Gene?

[@lancasterII]

It's ABC and Johnny Gilbert. Why keep screwing up announcer names?? Lol Curious.

[@jamessimmons7480]

I DON'T SEE HOW ANYONE COULD LIKE RICHARD DAWSON!!!! HE ALWAYS TRIED TO BE SO CUTE!!! I FOUND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT HIM TO BE CUTE OR ENTERTAINING IN THE LEAST!!!!

[@nextbarker2702]

@9:23, no he's right, especially, if you're neighbor had a very rare dog.

[@bobbymitchelljr.5153]

@15:40 Heidi's reaction when her family won the game. Late reaction. Definitely was comeback city.

I tried to subscribe , but , got a message that says I have too many subscriptions !!!!

[@steve2474]

Those were three incredibly beautiful sisters. Heidi seemed a little nervous throughout these episodes though.

[@jamiewilloughby579]

Dog was a good answer

My guess for the hot beverage Question would have been 1 of the following 3. 1: Coffee 2: Hot Chocolate 3: Tea

[@pamhowden8161]

My uncle's name was Richard

[@Adamdavidk1]

How Nice

3:55

[@YankeePat94]

Sounds like Johnny Gilbert

[@erikbunty2016]

Because it was.

[@marcsonnenberg623]

I wonder if the Johnson sisters fought over Richard?

[@69zenos1]

The first girl thought that she was the one. You can tell. She resented Gretchen for the rest of time.

[@thomascolucci4984]

Thought heidi was prettier than gretchen but hey every one has different tastes

[@tinat9486]

Can't stop true love. It's a feeling. The connection had already been made. Did you hear that the first time he tried to call her, he dialed the wrong number? The wrong number kept making him repeat that he was the real Richard Dawson before they told him there was no Gretchen there. Lol.

[@grigorb.5221]

Gene Wood Does Not Announce On This Episode.

[@stevezappa5491]

Seem like he really liked the blond sister lots of kisses

[@donnadreyer2580]

You have to wonder what an Older Man would want with a 25 Year Old Female. Can you imagine how people would look at them.
