Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren't taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly - married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. Nowadays game shows on TV are taken more seriously than they used to be.
