Survey says “Family Feud” has gotten a little too bawdy, if Pauley Perrette is the one being asked.

“NCIS” alum Perrette took the popular game show to task on Monday, declaring her love for the program, but also taking it to task and asking, “WHY DO YOU MAKE YOU [sic] PROGRAM SO FILTHY?”

“Dear @FamilyFeudABC I love @SteveHarveyFM and I love game shows. WHY DO YOU MAKE YOU PROGRAM SO FILTHY? Even with child players? No reason,” Perrette tweeted.

Perrette reasserted the criticism in a second tweet.

“I’m a sociologist, love @FamilyFeudABC but WHY WHY are all the questions now filthy and sex questions?” Perrette wrote. “There’s so much more to humans. Cmon.”

The Twitter account that Perrette at-tagged belongs to “Celebrity Family Feud.” It’s uncertain if her complaint is confined to the star-studded edition, or if it also extends to the non-celebrity version of the program.

In either case, judging from the comments on Perrette’s tweets, the actress isn’t alone in her sentiment.

“I’m 36 and feel uncomfortable watching it with my dad. Bc all the questions revolve around sex or bedroom actions I refuse to watch it,” one commenter wrote. “It’s so so sad that what was once a good wholesome FAMILY show is now nothing more than sex talk and perverted thoughts.”

“YES! I quit watching it long ago. Steve used to remind people that it was FAMILY Feud when they gave nasty answers but now he seems to delight in it,” another response read.
