The shows, taped Jan. 31 in Los Angeles, pitted service members from the Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy against each other. ``It's awesome and exciting to be able to compete and try to win some money,'' Gantar said. ``It was a lot of fun.'' According to Master Sgt.

According to a recent survey, 52 percent of adult Americans gain their perception of the military primarily from TV and movies,'' said Firman. Sara Dansby, Family Feud contestant producer, felt that the military shows were successful. ``I think they're some of the best shows we've ever done,'' she said. |
