One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the "best seller” list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight.
This is the principle behind" quiz" or" game" shows , which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were popular in America and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor became rich and famous on quiz shows. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show’s producers gave the answers to him beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn’t like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren’t taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions. [br] The writer looks upon game shows on TV ______.
