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
This episode can be seen on many Game Show channels on RUclips. It aired on May 12, 1981. The episode number is 81-073. This is the episode where Richard Dawson meets his future wife, Gretchen Johnson.
Great observation. I can't believe that that question was not a "Fast Money" question rather than a regular question given how simple it was and how few possibilities that there were.
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. :)
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.

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!!!!
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.
I've watched this so many times, I like a good love story. RIP Richard 🙏🏻❤️

This was actually May 18, 1981. Episode Number 81-75.
Now guys don't feud over this! 😉
Imagine had the other fellow just buzzed in with MONDAY as the #1 answer Dawson may never have connected with Gretchen...

Beautiful love story.miss him a lot.
Yes he was a wonderful man!
At the very end when she realizes she reached the 200 point mark and hugged him, his smile was very genuine.
Even though Gretchen became his wife, the older sister definitely had a thing for Richard! haha

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

Those were three incredibly beautiful sisters. Heidi seemed a little nervous throughout these episodes though.
I tried to subscribe , but , got a message that says I have too many subscriptions !!!!
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
@9:23, no he's right, especially, if you're neighbor had a very rare dog.
A Dog- A Gun- and Sex- those were killer answers by the defending champs.
I wonder if the Johnson sisters fought over Richard?
@15:40 Heidi's reaction when her family won the game. Late reaction. Definitely was comeback city.
The first girl thought that she was the one. You can tell. She resented Gretchen for the rest of time.
Thought heidi was prettier than gretchen but hey every one has different tastes

Sounds like Johnny Gilbert
Because it was.
My uncle's name was Richard
How Nice
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.
Gene Wood Does Not Announce On This Episode.
Seem like he really liked the blond sister lots of kisses
