Important People
Charles Siepmann: important TV and radio critic in
Postwar time, advocate of public service
broadcasting
Allen Funt: Created some of the first “candid
shows” including Candid Camera, Children of the
UN, and What do you Say to a Naked Lady

Stanley Milgram: Social Scientist from Yale who
used Funt’s work “as a template for their
experimental situations (Milgrams experiment).
First Wave Reality TV
• Emerged in the 1950’s

• Different from the normal propaganda films, industrial
  films to human interest stories

• Advocated for social change by examining cultural values
  and social issues. For example a hidden camera film on
  the judiciary system: Jury Duty which showed all the
  ways people tried to get out of jury duty.

• Candid Camera was a very funny reality TV show…

• Omnibus: show that “was designed to appeal to minority
  taste group.” Viewers were looking to better themselves
  in cultural understanding, education, and responsible
  citizenship
Ch 1 pres 2
Links to the Social Sciences
• Ford Foundation: funded cultural programs and studies

• “Culture from the perspective of the Ford
  Foundation, was all about producing an American
  populace capable of stepping up to the challenge of
  citizenship in an internationalist United States.”

• In 1955 they paid Funt for his Omnibus films

• Also in 1955 they gave money to Milgram to finance his
  research in behavioral sciences
Links to the Social Sciences
• Reality TV shows like Candid Camera used deception and
  manipulation.

• Stanley Milgram who conducted experiments about
  obedience may have modeled his famously unethical
  shock experiment after Candid Camera

• While there is no direct evidence that linked Milgram’s
  work to Funt’s Candid Camera there is plenty of evidence
  that suggests that Milgram modeled his experiment on the
  reality TV series

• “Both created situations in which unwitting individuals are
  observed responding to, and performing within, unusual
  or extreme social situations– and even their dependence
  on ordinary people.”
Links to the Social Sciences
• Many social scientists became interested in Candid
  Camera because the predictability of human
  behavior was heavily funded mainly because of the
  Cold War

• Candid Camera also showed the conformity to
  obedience

Candid Situations

What if a dying relative asked
for assistance in Euthanasia?

What if you found a wallet on the
floor with $300 and ID?

What if you a someone beating
their child in public?
Conclusion
