Other poster: They [Spongebob and Steve Harvey's Family Feud] both appeal to the baser instincts of the TV viewer.
They appeal to TV viewers, period. "Baser instincts" are definitely in the eye (or head) of the beholder. By the way, first-run Harvey Feud just hit a new high in the syndie ratings for the latest week, November 5-11. I'm sure that Steve and the gang are real worried about the high-larious Legion of Decency posts on the GSN Internet board.
Another poster: Actually, think one of them [A.C. Nielsen senior or junior] was on the B&W To Tell the Truth as a guest.
Don't know about To Tell The Truth, but A.C. Nielsen, Jr. (son of the founder of the ratings company) definitely appeared on What's My Line, as YouTube attests. The panel stumbled around for a while, and Buddy Hackett got off some funnies. Then Bennett Cerf zeroed in and guessed. The episode aired 2/16/64. Mr. Nielsen, Jr. died just last year. His father died in 1980.
