I have always wondered what happens to television programs that get shelved; I expect that they die in some TV show graveyard, eclipsed by snazzier copy-cat versions that take their space and TRPs. Except that some shows break the clutter to remain in our minds and hearts for a long time to come. An international example of such a program would be Friends, while on a more local level, the BQC springs to mind. The Bournvita Quiz Contest was an educational TV show with soul. It increased children's general knowledge through quiz questions, whilst simultaneously creating a cult following via Derek O'Brien's charisma. On today's TV guide, it's so very hard to find a show of that caliber; a show that can be remembered and maybe watched by our kids too. They should never have stopped the BQC. I do wish they'd reinstate it. We need a show that inspires us to know the world around us.
