This weekend Mom and I were reading a magazine called The Good Old Days and in this month's issue they had a story about a game show called Queen For A Day and it was a black and white game show that featured ladies winning money for making their dreams come true by writing an essay about their big dreams and the winner would be crowned Queen For A Day and be dressed in a really wonderful queen outfit., Do you remember Queen For A Day?, Kelsey

... not the strangest idea for a game show. that nod goes to Bride and Groom I fast-forwarded through two episodes on YouTube, and the structure appeared to be: interview, wedding, gifts. I didn't notice any game play, although they probably tried different formats in the quest for 1950s reality TV perfection. Queen For a Day had almost zero game play. Contestants would tell their sad stories, then the audience applauded to decide the winner, who would receive an assortment of kitchen appliances and living room furniture. A similar show was the original Strike It Rich, which welcomed contestants of any gender, provided their life story was sufficiently pathetic. On the episode I viewed, the game element appeared to consist of four questions, wagering from a starting bank of $30. A best-case scenario double-up on every question would yield a win total of $480 (whereas if a contestant was unsuccessful at the game, viewers could phone in with donations.) Apparently I need to recheck my dictionary for the definition of "rich."
