HISTORY : |
| |
Before the trivia subculture became
widespread, via radio and TV quiz shows and books, the term commonly
referred to bits of information to which most adults in the culture had
at one time been exposed, via standard education or via popular culture.
In time the term came also to comprise more obscure and arcane bits of
knowledge. In 1974, a former Sacramento air traffic controller named
Fred L. Worth published The Trivia Encyclopedia, which he followed in
1977 with The Complete Unabridged Super Trivia Encyclopedia, and in 1981
with Super Trivia, vol. II. The popularity of these books laid the
groundwork for the first edition of Trivial Pursuit in the early 1980s.
The enormous success of this game led, in the United States, to the
re-launch of Jeopardy!, reviving a quiz show genre that had been dormant
since the quiz show scandals of the 1950s. The American TV broadcaster
ABC had a surprise hit with Who Wants to be a Millionaire, an import of
a successful British quiz format which launched another wave of interest
in trivia. In the UK, the quiz format has enjoyed continuous success
since the 1950s, untouched by the scandals that dogged the American
format.
In addition to the mass media trivia, there have also been two
entrenched trivia subcultures. One is the pub quiz phenomenon, which is
especially prevalent in Great Britain and in select U.S. cities,
particularly in pubs that serve a large Irish-American community. (The
U.S. pub quiz scene is crimped by the popularity of Buzztime, a
satellite-based game.)Above text
