    Which TV programme started the rot by being the first to have the general public interactively voting people off the show?

    Question #79819. Asked by gmackematix. (May 02 07 8:06 PM)

    		I believe the earliest I can find is a U.S. radio show called 'Major Bowles Amateur Hour', started in 1934. It moved to U.S. television in 1948 under the guidance of Ted Mack.

    		So well before "Popstars", "Big Brother", "I'm A Celebrity..." and their various dubious TV offspring then.

    I'll just add that T Mack and Gmack are not related.
