I thought we were going to get another version of that Washington Post article from a few months ago, but this one had a little more perspective on the issue--and it was good to read Robert Earle's comments.
It seems to me that people have been complaining about dumbed-down material on game shows for decades--including some of our most beloved 70s shows. It all depends on where you're coming from.
And at least the writer didn't use Steve Beverly as a source.

I find it amazing that Robert Earle at 81, could still remember the outcome of a College Bowl Match from 1966 in an e-mail to the author of the article. And his thoughts on Game shows in general make me believe he is still very sharp for his age..
