Despite its enduring popularity with both broadcasters and audiences, the quiz show has found itself marginalised in studies of popular television. This book offers a unique introduction to the study of the quiz show, while also revisiting, updating and expanding on existing quiz show scholarship. Ranging across programmes such as Double Your Money, The $64,000 Dollar Question, Twenty-One, The Price is Right, Who Wants to be a Millionaire and The Weakest Link to the controversial 'Quiz TV Call' phenomenon, the book explores programmes with a focus on question and answer. Topics covered include the relationship between quiz shows and television genre; the early broadcast history of the quiz show; questions of institutional regulation; quiz show aesthetics; the social significance of 'games'; 'ordinary' people as television performers, and questions of quiz show reception (from interactivity to on-line fandom). Key Features*Represents one of few book-length studies of the quiz show*Offers an accessible introduction to the genre for undergraduate students*Draws upon new archival research in order to contribute to knowledge about the early history of the quiz show*Demonstrates why the quiz show matters to Television Studies*Brings together key approaches in the field with new interventions and areas of study (such as the quiz show in the multi-platform age, and the study of 'ordinary' people as performers).

Game and quiz shows first started appearing on radio broadcasts in the 1930s, led by the CBS network’s Professor Quiz, hosted by a man who was neither a professor nor even a college graduate, the first of several frauds that seemed to be endemic to the genre. Professor Quiz was followed by other such game shows as Uncle Jim’s Question Bee and Ask It Basket, which in turn spawned successful box games for at-home play. The show Truth or Consequences made the transition from radio to television in the late 1940s and was so popular that a town in New Mexico was named for the show. Television proved to be the perfect platform for game shows since they were very popular and cheap to produce. Even in reruns today, the older shows still draw huge audiences. This book describes the evolution of the game show, its larger-than-life producers and hosts, as well as the scandals that have rocked it from time to time, including bloopers from such “adult” oriented shows as The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, and Hollywood Squares. This is an entertaining and lively look at an American phenomenon whose popularity doesn’t seem to be going away.

From The $64,000 Question and Twenty-One to Jeopardy and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, quiz shows have permeated American culture ever since their beginnings in early radio. In Rules of the Game, Olaf Hoerschelmann critically examines the quiz show genre in American culture, drawing on a large body of radio and television programs and on archival materials relating to the broadcast industry, program sponsors, advertising agencies, and individual producers. Hoerschelmann relates quiz shows to the larger social and industrial structures from which they originate and examines the connection of quiz shows to the production of knowledge in American society. He also provides a rethinking of media genre theory, offering a detailed analysis of the text-audience relationships on quiz shows and their significance for the practice of broadcasting.

Call TV quiz shows are an example of television programmes provided by commercial broadcasters in order to increase their revenue. The viewer watches the live broadcast, then sends a text message or makes a premium rate telephone call in order to take part, with the broadcaster keeping a proportion of the call revenue. The Culture Committee has decided to examine this development, and whether some form of regulation is required since the programmes seem to be another means of gambling, with some members of the public complaining about them. This report therefore has set out a number of recommendations as to how broadcasters and regulators should address this. The Committee states that there seems to be a lack of fairness and transparency throughout the process. For example, players are generally not told that it is a matter of luck whether a call is connected to the studio and that the chances of getting through are very slim. Also the cost of calling is not always made as clear as it might be, or the amount players might have to spend to win a prize. Primary responsibility for maintaining confidence in the Call TV quiz show format rests with the operating companies and the broadcasters. The Committee believes that the guidance drawn up by the two main regulators, Ofcom and ICSTIS does not go far enough; the Committee also states that Call TV quiz shows should constitute gaming under the Gambling Act 2005, and the Culture Department and the Gambling Commission should consider this as a matter of urgency; operators should have voluntarily introduced practices intended to help viewers who make repeated premium rate calls appreciate how much they are spending; also some assessment of the addiction to participation in such shows should be undertaken; viewers should be made aware that puzzles on Call TV quiz shows have a cryptic element, and that Ofcom should make it obligatory to have games verified with a third party and solutions lodged with them to prevent underhand changes being made while the show is on air; Ofcom should also publish periodic reports on its monitoring of Call TV quiz programmes; any practice of misleading viewers about call volumes or of blocking of calls would be unfair and fraudulent and should be punished under criminal law; the Committee recommends that broadcasters should be required to display some recent historical information about volume of incoming calls, and the odds of being connected to the studio; also that a single body, Ofcom, take responsibility for registering all complaints.
