''CBS Television Quiz'' was the first Television Game Show ever to be broadcast regularly. It premiered on July 2 , 1941 . It ran until spring 1942 . Other game shows before this were "test episodes" for experimental purposes. One of these was '' Truth Or Consequences '' in the same year, while a show called '' Spelling Bee '' was broadcast on the BBC in 1938 . It is also believed to be one of the first network television programs in the US .

''CBS Television Quiz'', produced by CBS Television and broadcast in Black And White , was hosted by Gil Fates , who would later produce and/or direct many Goodson-Todman game shows on the network, with the assistance of Frances Buss .
