Nice Laymans view of television This is a well done film about television in the 50s. It is a good laymans view of the process, with some interesting insights. The comparison to the car is a bit strange till you realize General Motors sponsored the film. The football fan in the beginning is going to be bummed when he turns on the game at home and finds it is not in color. Dennis Jennings http://Celestial-Image.com
