Talk:The Price Is Right (1956 game show)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would seriously question whether Family Feud is a spinoff of The Match Game. Inspired by, perhaps; derivative of, maybe, but I don't think that it's a spinoff, which implies that it started as a segment or element of The Match Game and then became its own show, rather than that it is a similar show based on a similar concept.

[edit] The "gimmick"
Bill Cullen often brought out what he would refer to as a "gimmick", which was usually a mechanical toy. Just how frequently this occured, and whether it was primarily done to pad out a show which was running a little short, I don't know. Does anyone else out there (that small subset who remembers when dialing a phone call entailed the use of an actual dial) remember this or know more about it? Rlquall 17:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
