Even when television was in its infancy, it was apparent that Game Shows were a good idea. Test airings of radio hits Truth or Consequences and Uncle Jim's Question Bee had been done on July 1, 1941, while The BBC did Spelling Bee back in 1938.On July 2, 1941 a young man named Gil Fates debuted his creation, the CBS Television Quiz, on the network's then-only station WCBW (now WCBS). The show, hosted by Fates himself (who also served as co-producer with Worthington Miner), had guests taking part in a variety of quizzes, games, and stunts with Frances Buss serving as scorekeeper.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Quiz began on Wednesdays at 8:30 PM, then moved to Thursdays on October 2. On January 8, 1942, it was reduced from 60 to 55 minutes to allow for a five-minute news report at 9:25. The show moved to Mondays at 8:35 on February 2, now running for 50 minutes (a five-minute civilian-defense program aired at 8:30, later replaced by a Red Cross program). On March 30, the Red Cross program ended and Quiz went back to 55 minutes.While the show's future seemed endless in an era when throwing ideas against the wall to see what sticks was rather new, it was canned on May 25, 1942 - two weeks earlier, the War Production Board issued a mandate to stop building TV stations and Quiz, along with most of the lineup on both WCBW and WNBT, was removed in favor of World War II-related programming. Fates later worked for Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions, most famously with What's My Line?, while Buss (later Buss-Buch) became CBS' first female director.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |
