Besides Billy Todman, Jr., Other G/T children include:

Mark Goodson's Son Jonathan we know about I think. He was a producer of
many G/T shows, most notably Card Sharks. Upon Mark's Dec 18 1992 death,
Jonathan became the CEO of Mark Goodson Productions and in Sep 1995 sold
off MGP to All-American TV, who syndicate BayWatch and syndicated both
America's Top 10 and the Ray Combs syndicated Family Feud. Jon was also
notorious for changing the set of FF and bringing back Richard Dawson as
host, and bringing back the Syndicated TPIR with a new
unknown-outside-the-soap-world host Doug Davidson, and a more high-tech
set. Both FF and TPIR Syndicated were ratings disasters for 1994-95.
"Jonathan Goodson Productions" produces Illinoi$ Instant Riches for
WGN-Chicago, and possibly a few other state lottery-based games around
the country.

Marjorie Goodson, Mark's Daughter, was the assistant to Alex Trebek on
Classic Concentration from 1987-91. She replaced Diana Taylor on CC, who
left the show in July 1987, two months after CC premiered. Marjorie's
canine costar was her dog Pokey. In Sep 1988, Marjorie married CC's
associate director Timothy Cutt, and from that point on was hence known
as Marjorie Goodson-Cutt.

During her honeymoon, Majorie was replaced by a number of people who
were on the set, including Alex' "daughter" Nicole. Around that time, I
heard a comedian tell a joke about Alex scoulding his kid. He asked her
"Where were you all night? You have thirty seconds to think of an
answer," and then hummed the JEOPARDY theme.
