» TamsenTillson - Family Feud's Richard Dawson had cheek...

Dawson sure was a creature of the times. He was somewhat lacivious, in a benign way, if that can be said.

And yes, the lip-kissing, ick! I remember! You'd never see that in this contaminant-obsessed age.

Come to think of it, I remember growing up that casual touch was very different from now. When I was a teenager teachers and other adults would think nothing of putting their hand on your waist or the small of your back. I don't think they were being letches, that was just what people did then. They don't now. Or not usually, and not harmlessly, anyway.

And so that's another reason to tune in to Dawson, and the bad old days. Ick. Wonder if he gets coldsores?

Now I know, sometimes you hear things only because you are expecting to hear them, but in one instance of a Richard Dawson-ism, I have 3 separate witnesses confirming its validity. During the 4th round, one family was eliminated, so Richard came over and wished them well. When he reached the attractive and young (as in appearing 18, if that) daughter of the family, he told her, "I'll see you in the dressing room." It was muffled because he didn't quite announce it to the crowd, but at this point in my Family Feud career, I was prone to catching all the "little things" deemed inappropriate in our current society. Maybe I heard what I wanted to hear. Either way, he certainly was lascivious (a good description), and in this pessimistic viewer's mind, you can't take the lewdness out of lasciviousness (or maybe it's just jealousy).

That's a good one. But you know, back in the bad old days a fella like him could get away with saying something like that in jest. Without being sued.
(We assume it's in jest. Right?)

Richard Dawson was always flirty on FF. Bob Barker on The Price is Right could be downright skanky. Remember when a contestant on "contestants' row" would get a bid exactly right they would win $100.00? Bob would make the female contestants reach into his pocket to get the money. He stopped doing that after one of the former "Barker's Beauties" sued for sexual harrassment.
