Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many people have the idea that game shows are easy to come up with. And nothing could be further from the truth.
Just like every show has a tone, every show has different people on it playing different games. I don't say 'game' in a pejorative sense, I just mean, these are different stories that we tell ourselves when we go to work.
At a very basic level, I think television exists for game shows, and I think it always will.
We know television should educate and inform, and I believe it should entertain.
I like game shows.
Most TV shows don't reward you for paying attention.
For me, personally, I really get a kick out of game shows. I like the play-along factor.
Today's audience knows more about what's on television than what's in life.
I don't do game shows.
Television is a powerful medium that has to be used for something better than sitcoms and police shows. On the other hand, if you don't recognize the forces that play on what people watch and what they don't then you're a fool and you should be in a different business.
