Stanley Milgram, Allen Funt, and Charles Siepmann were important figures in the emergence of early reality television in the 1950s and its links to the social sciences. Funt created some of the first "candid shows" like Candid Camera that used deception and manipulation. Milgram's famous obedience experiments in the 1960s may have been modeled after Funt's work. Both used unexpected social situations to observe human behavior. The Ford Foundation funded both Funt's shows and Milgram's research, seeing reality TV and social science as ways to examine social issues and cultural values to promote citizenship.
