Quiz Show

With Quiz Shows aren't mass produced, as the majority of the public enjoy watching famous people or members of the public answer questions. The members of the public who watch quiz shows like to laugh while watching the shows, therefore each quiz show that is made will try to include some sort of comedy because that is the target audience for most quiz shows.

Personally I like the challenge of answering difficult questions, but I also like the enjoyment of watching people competing in difficult tasks.

A great quiz that shows both mental and physical challenges to the participants is A League Of Their Own. As this show also includes sport celebrities performing physical challenges which the audience finds comical which can class this quiz show as part comical.

However Quiz shows can be classed in different genres:
Mock The Week - Comedy
Never Mind The Buzzcocks - Music/Comedy
A League Of Their Own - Sport/Comedy
A Question Of Sport - Sport/Comedy

Because each quiz show has a specific target audience they are aiming for, this could make it a niche product.

For specific quiz shows for certain genres they target a specific audience. So for A Question Of Sport there main audience will be sport fanatics. However a quiz show like Never Mind The Buzzcocks will target Music lovers. The majority of quiz shows will have some sort of comedy involved. So even though a show may target a specific target audience they may attract more people who enjoy the show; and the extra viewers may not like the type of quiz show they will still find it enjoyable because of the comical value in the quiz.
