  • Rules of the Game Book
    CHAPTER 1 ___________ What Is a Genre? Quiz Shows/ Game Shows ore than any other genre on radio or television, the quiz show genre has Mbeen notoriously difficult to define. Radio and television genres routinely form hybrids and cross-fertilize each other, as can be seen in various recent popular comedy-drama hybrids such as Ally McBeal, The Wonder Years, or Sports Night, as well as in failed hybrids such as Cop Rock or Medicine Ball. In the case of quiz shows and game shows, however, the terms hide a myriad pro- gramming forms under these seemingly unifying generic labels. Shows as dif- ferent as The Price Is Right, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Dr. I.Q., Survivor, Family Feud, Double Dare, Supermarket Sweep, Jeopardy!, Queen for a Day, The Newlywed Game, Singled Out, and Take It or Leave It are united through a common generic label, yet their similarities are often difficult to discern. Although we sometimes see all of these shows referred to as game shows, some of them are also categorized with other generic labels, for exam- ple, the term reality show for Survivor, the term quiz show for Take It or Leave It, or the term dating show for Singled Out. The variation of such generic labels partly stems from historical changes in terminology, yet it also points to a fundamental instability of generic categories. In this chapter, the term quiz/game show genre indicates that the use of generic labels in everyday dis- course, industry practice, and scholarly work has consistently failed to address the complexities and shifts in this genre.

  • LA Radio, “Hats Off to Larry,”
    LA Radio, “Hats off to Larry,” by Alan Oda in Three Parts (April 21, 2009-April 24, 2009) Contact: www.larryvannuys.com | [email protected] Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MoX54B7xlQ (Part 1—April 21, 2009) You’d think Southern Californians would be used to earthquakes, yet when the ground starts shaking, many wary residents call in to their local radio stations, perhaps as a catharsis to the unexpected. Recently, a listener to KNX could hear callers describe the latest seismic event, whether it was a sharp jolt, a brief rolling motion, and for what duration. But then there was something more. The anchor briefly chatted with each caller – did anything fell off the kitchen shelves at the caller’s home? Any jittery nerves from the aftershocks? Was the caller a long-time local resident or was it a first experience with an earthquake? Have a home emergency kit prepared? It was just like talking to a caring neighbor, only it was being broadcast on a 50,000 watt radio station. Then again, when the news anchor once hosted a tv program called Help Thy Neighbor, offering a personal touch to his listeners should be second nature for Larry Van Nuys. When last interviewed by LARadio.com back in 1998, Larry said he’d decided to leave radio because of the precariousness of ongoing format changes. “After a many years in radio and television, I made the successful transition to a very lucrative career as a voice talent, every day doing promos, commercials and trailers, much of it out of my home studio,” said Larry.

The luncheon was filled with warmth and humor as everyone told fascinating stories about Bob and Stephanie. Dave Hull, the legendary radio personality known as “The Hullabalooer,” told the classic story about Eubanks bringing the Beatles to LA. “Bob did it all and attended to every detail for the 1964 Hollywood Bowl concert. He even made sure the Beatles had bottles of Dr. Pepper in their dressing rooms. That led to John commenting ‘We’re Dr. Pepper’s lonely hearts club band,’ which was the inspiration for their Sgt. Pepper’s title album,” claimed Hull, who was also on stage with Eubanks for that memorable concert.
