No part of the game show cover-up was against any law, and no one went to prison. However, individuals were prosecuted for obstruction of justice and perjury. The scandal led to huge changes in laws regarding contests. Most quiz shows were canceled, and the genre nearly died. One of the few to survive was a bowling show; the sport is difficult to fix on television. In the 1970s, a new generation of game shows used puzzles and word play rather than trivia knowledge. Championship runs were limited, which limited the amount of money a contestant could win.
