* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Yes, even ''exploiting sob stories for ratings'' can actually manage to get worse: Metromedia's 1969-70 revival apparently went up to eleven and used '''actresses''' chosen before each taping to "win" a bunch of prizes.

* ParodyDisplacement: Many younger fans of Creator/GeorgeCarlin may not know that his "Queenie For a Day" skit was based on this show. It was part of a fake TV lineup that also included a parody of the far more well-known ''Series/TruthOrConsequences''...and the two fake game shows are connected by a BrickJoke.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: The Lifetime [[http://www.gameshownewsnet.com/prime/queen/ one-off]], which rewarded people who were recommended by their loved ones because they gave back to their communities. The most honest and good-hearted of the three versions only got one episode; think about that.

* YourMileageMayVary: While many bash ''QueenForADay'', those crowned Queen don't seem to hate the show. Some winners of the original run started a club called "''Queen For A Day'', Queen Forever"; although nobody seems to know how long the club lasted, a segment was dedicated to it in a 1984 {{BBC}} documentary on American game shows.
