The Kapuso version of the global hit game show kept its place on the Top 5 most-watched shows.
The second incarnation of the local Family Feud on GMA Network extended its winning streak, with record-breaking people ratings, since its local TV comeback in March.
The game show notably was first adapted by the Kapuso Network for local viewers in 2008, with actor-politician Richard Gomez, as its original host. Dingdong Dantes and Edu Manzano, later on, took their turns as the game masters of the show, before its final episode in 2011. TV5 (then ABC 5), is the first Philippine TV network to do a local version in 2001. ABS-CBN had its own in 2016.
Family Feud returned to GMA Network this year, as the official replacement show for Willie Revillame’s Wowowin, which left the Network in February. GMA seems to have done the right decision in bringing back the game show, as it has been on a winning spree in the rating game since it premiered.
On Monday, May 16, the show posted an impressive 9.9% people rating, based on AGB Nielsen’s National Urban TV Measurement (NUTAM) data. That is now the show’s highest people TV rating to date.
The following day, May 17, the show replicated such a feat when it again posted a 9.9% people rating and kept its position among the top five most-watched shows on local television. The Dingdong Dantes-hosted game show was the fourth most-watched program in the country, just behind ABS-CBN’s FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, which has been able to reclaim the number 3 spot, for days.
Other than Family Feud, four other Kapuso programs are keeping their places in the Top 5, with 24 Oras and First Lady, emerging as the most-watched primetime newscast and most-watched primetime drama. 24 Oras rated 17.3% and 17.5%, while First Lady managed to post 14.2% and 15.4%, on May 17 and May 16, respectively.
