2 | * CriticalDissonance: The networks loved it because its high ratings brought in big advertising bucks. Critics, on the other hand, had nothing nice to say. |
3 | * 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. |
4 | * 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. |
5 | * TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Yes, even ''exploiting sob stories for ratings'' can actually manage to get worse: Metromedia's 1969-70 revival apparently used '''actresses''' chosen before each taping to "win" a bunch of prizes. |
