waren ja Game Shows nicht immer so doof wie heute. Der Ausschnitt, den WFMU's Beware of the Blog gerade zeigt, mag u.a. dies deutlich werden lassen:

• GameShow-Moderatoren müssen nicht notwendig völlig blöde sein.
  Ein Künstler kann als solcher im Fernsehen auftreten.
  Pink Floyd war so neu nicht.
  Echte Klänge sind lustiger als samples.
  

Here's John Cage performing Water Walk in January, 1960 on the popular TV show I've Got A Secret.

At the time, Cage was teaching Experimental Composition at New York
City's New School. Eight years beyond 4:33, he was (as our smoking MC
informs us) the most controversial figure in the musical world at that
time. His first performance on national television was originally
scored to include five radios, but a union dispute on the CBS set
prevented any of the radios from being plugged in to the wall. Cage
gleefully smacks and tosses the radios instead of turning them on and
off.
