Nice thanks man........sitting here watching it with my 4 yr old.
shareAwesome! Thanks a lot, bro!
shareI just went to the link looking forward to seeing it, but unfortunately it was taken down by Blip. They said:
Sorry, this show has been removed from Blip.

When you click on their link, it makes one believe that it was an infringement on copyrights. Any chance this available some where else?
I was really surprised they had a serial like this in 1944 since there weren't a whole lot of televisions in homes yet! It was somewhere around .02% of Americans had a TV. In today's dollars, those 1944 TVs would be around $2000. I found this article real interesting, http://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/1944s-big-screen-tv-of-the-future-wasnt-much-bigger-tha-1540754353 :
The television instrument, planned by Emerson engineers, approximately 18 inches wide and 14 inches high, will be a complete radio and television unit employing a three-inch cathode ray tube. The television image will be enlarged and projected to 15-by-20 inch proportions with a motion picture screen, by means of a lens system made of plastics. The brilliance will equal that of home movies.
Would really like to see what they put out back then!
Thanks! share

shareWow! I never really expected to hear back. Frogbaby, you're the best! Thank you for taking the time to find it and post it. I can tell you it was worthwhile because my wife and I both enjoyed watching it! I'm going to send it to my father who is 81. I bet he will get a kick out of it! Thanks again Frog!
