It may have been Richard Dawson's charm on "Match Game 73" that prompted its creators 'Mark Goodson' and Bill Todman to build him a game show all his own: ABC Television's Family Feud (1976). Dawson wound up doing double duty for "Feud" and "Match Game 76 (1976)" before leaving the "Match Game 78 (1978)" panel in 1978 to devote full time to "Feud" for the next 7 seasons to 1985-1986.

Gene Rayburn and Johnny Olson are returned as host and announcer that having previously served their roles on The Match Game (1962) on NBC-TV.

Kirstie Alley, once appeared as a contestant.
