"Would You Like To Be Queen For A Day?"
From jumpthe shark.com: Another game show from the 50's.Are you kidding? This was probably the worst idea for a game show ever. obviously you don't remember than the object of the show was whoever of the three women contestants told the saddest story won. So you'd get some Appalachian mother of 12 telling the nation how she only had one dress and didn't have food to feed her kids and her husband left her five days ago and they discovered a lump in her breast they think may be cancer and blah blah blah., And what did she get for this humiliation, groveling and degradation? A new refrigerator or a mink coat or some other crap that she didn't need.... "Queen For a Day" scraped the bottom of the taste barrel when an Auschwitz survivor was allowed to compete. No, I'm not making this up. Naturally, she won, but can you imagine the reaction of the other two women? "Well, can't top that one!"
