MODERATORS
I was about to say the same. TV channels noticed early on that game shows were rated higher when an attractive contestant won, and started rigging the games accordingly.
Hard to believe the US government use to do anything.
They should make a movie about that.
Yea! They should call it Quiz... something, I dunno they'll figure it out
I remembered the movie as being very good, but it didn't stand up to a rewatch. However, the rewatch was a good few years ago too.
Rigging quiz shows is capitalist free speech (quiz shows are people). They needed to be investigated if they by chance weren't rigged & the shows were not achieving their full financial potential (which is an obligation, not a right).
