Game Time: Family Challenge (1995)

 Mix Nickelodeon's Double Dare with Family Feud, and you have Family Challenge, a Family Channel series that ran for 2 seasons (1995-7), and deserved a better fate.

Ray Combs (ex-Family Feud) was reunited with announcer Gene Wood in the 1st season, but Combs' off-camera issues led to his suicide in between seasons. The Family Channel (now Freeform) forged ahead with season 2, bringing in Michael Burger (Home & Family) as the show's new host. Wood had left, ending his association with the network after three years.

Family Challenge sprang from the minds of veteran producer Woody Fraser and actor-comedian Dave Thomas (Grace Under Fire, ex-SCTV), meant to be fun for the entire family. The families weren't limited to a finite number of players, like, for example, Double Dare and Family Feud, and even Combs got in on the action, usually at the end of the show, as Burger would also do.

Following is a season 1 sample, taken from a rerun on Game Show Network.

The series moved to Universal's Hollywood lot in season 2, but the die may have already been cast.

No rating. I don't recall seeing this the first time.
