In the late 1950s, television quiz shows were all the rage. The knowledge of some of the contestants appeared to be phenomenal. Charles Van Doren, one of the big money winners, seemed to be an absolute genius. Few people knew that the shows were rigged until . . . . Quiz Show is a fairly accurate portrayal of how the scandal developed, how it was uncovered, and the aftermath.
The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to Quiz Show will help parents and teachers introduce the scandals, the congressional investigative process, and show how a large corporation, in this case the National Broadcasting Company, deceived the public and then escaped punishment. The film demonstrates that the "reality" of television (or any media) cannot be taken at face value.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph in the Learning Guide to Quiz Show.
Television broadcasting began in London in 1936. In the U.S. it began in 1941. Nationwide broadcasts gained popularity in the early 1950s. Until the advent of cable, television broadcasting was dominated by the three networks, NBC (National Broadcasting Company), CBS (Columbia Broadcasting Company) and ABC (American Broadcasting Company).
The Learning Guide to Quiz Show also contains sections on the Benefits of the film, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading.
