I'm not sure how this one slipped my radar, but Quiz Show is a great film that I really enjoyed. I didn't live during the early days of television, but I know a little bit about the absolute hold shows had on people. This time gave birth to celebrity-ism and brought scandal to a whole new level.
I think I liked this film more for the philosophical/ethical issues it raised than the actual story line. It was interesting to see how people wrestle with truth vs. fact vs. fiction/entertainment. And the issues of race and class were also fascinating and disappointing. We are a strange species.
