Anyone who doesn't know about or has disrespect for silent movie star Buster Keaton needs to watch some of his movies. The guy was simply amazing in the stunts that HE performed and the sets they designed and often destroyed in making the films. They are also quite funny and entertaining with clean humor as compared to the garbage that is produced today.
I hope you are still around here in 2024 - TVs are thinner and lighter than I ever thought they would be! We still own an (ancient!) CRT - too heave to pick up!
What’s sad about this whole thing is the fact that nobody knew who Philo Farnsworth was; despite these bunch of people being on the very thing that he invented.
Yeah, when I heard what he was saying, all my mind was saying is "LCD TV's, and HD". I'd love to see the prototype system he had, cause you KNOW he had one.
Garry Moore showed a lot of respect for Jayne Meadows by having her leave the room right before the man with the snakes showed his snakes 🐍. He knew that Jayne Meadows was scared to death of snakes.
@@bme7491 They killed millions of the Greatest generation who came back from WW2, became engrossed by tv commercials as they watched glamorous celebs smoke their poison, and died pre-maturely from all that televised glamour. Generally, I support free-enterprise but not Murder, Inc.
Yeah really nothing has changed in that regard. Television has just become more sophisticated in they way they do commercials but it's the same process really.
This is fascinating to watch. I'm currently acting in a production of The Farnsworth Invention by Aaron Sorkin, so I'm kind of steeped in this stuff. Farnsworth was a genius and, as Sarnoff says in the play, "he deserved better in my hands."
Andy Hicks (btw - the play's happening in Watertown, MA at the Arsenal Center for the Arts, June 12-27, 2015, flatearththeatre.com for more info, yaddah yaddah, blah.)
I only watched to see Philo. I used to work with a guy who mentioned that they were related. It's been several years.....but I believe Philo was his grandfather.
@@dsarmy1 Pretty stupid, you have the inventor of quite possibly the most well known, well used piece of equipment in the world and you replace it with some politician whos only crowning achievement was that “she was the first”. Not to be taking away from a nice achievement but it’s very clear which one is more important.
I didn’t know that, but other than the height difference he did look like a younger Buster! Buster Keaton was a master of his craft and along with a few other Silent Film stars did the most daring tricks without nets or CGI!!
History has witnessed that the true innovator and creator never credited with their work as their vision is only for the betterment of society and they don't expect selfish gains and that's where RCA and money minded companies came up.. Taking everything from the originator.
I love this guy. Super smart and a great perspective and humor on his creation. I came here from "Top 10 People Forgotten by History for Bogus Reason" by Top Tenz
You know what I got on "I've Got A Secret" this year? It was a banner freakin' year at the Farnsworth household. I got a carton of cigarettes. The host grabbed me and said "Hey! Smoke up, Philo!"
I'm 77 & remember seeing this episode in 1957! Looking at Philo Farnsworth's life, I feel that he was cheated out of receiving the multi-millions of dollars in revenue, from his invention of electronic television! He should have died a billionaire! /"I've Got a Secret" was always entertaining, but this show was one of the best! p.s. I have actually seen live, both Bill Cullen ( when I was in the audience,1962, of "The Price is Right") & Henry Morgan, 1967, when I met him at a Manhattan Cigar, cigarette store!
So interesting how time and attitudes change. Garry's monologue on Winston cigarettes is breath-taking, pardon my pun. He is urging folks to stock up for the long weekend!
he is also the namesake of a streaming TV service that launched in November of last year nationwide but was operating on college campus's for the better part of the last decade. philo.com/refer/R9H6JDZ I've got videos reviews on the service on my channel.
From a bit going around when I was at a summer camp: “Winston tastes bad like a cigarette should / no flavor, no taste, just a 30 - cent waste” yeah, that was a few years back...
hes so tall for 15. I just watched a 60s Alfred Hitchcock presents episode about a young boy who kept snakes as a business...My aunt has a great av ersion to snakes. she cant even look at pictures of snakes...
We could’ve also had FM transmissions years before that hadn’t been for RCA we were stuck with a M radio and ecstatic for so many years all because of RCA
To all the people that are going on about Garry Moore and smoking: I agree that smoking is bad for you. However some of you are acting like adults don't have a mind of their own, can't make decisions on their own ( i e whether to smoke or not) Give him a break, people.
For all those commenting on Winston cigarettes being an integral sponsor of the show, it is ironic that the celebrity guest, Buster Keaton, also passed away as the result of being a smoker.
Omg when they said snakes, I thought they were all going to be mini things like grass snakes! How on earth did that kid sit so normally like that?!? 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 😲
We rarely see the CBS Eye in the Sky at the end of "I've Got a Secret" with Winston cigarettes (normally we see the 2 Eye Animation from those Pacific time zone kinescopes). The tailend is a Bufferin commercial I assume came from WCBS Ch 2 NYC.
Great Blank Stares from panel and moderator as Farnsworth talks about HD ( high definition) TV, Memory ( computers), and Nuclear Fusion. RCA ripped off Farnsworth just as they did Armstrong.. the two founding geniuses of Radio and TV. Shameful.. and Stupid. Par for the course.
What he actually said was 'picture in excess of 2000 lines'. A picture is considered HD when it has 720 lines at a resolution of 1080. So the picture he's speaking of is actually not HD, but something twice as sharp as modern HD. He also mentions having 'a screen only', which can be interpreted in several ways. Either alluding to a larger screened t.v. (but still in the customary style of the day), a much lower-profile t.v. (similar to modern flatscreen plasma), or a purely electrical t.v. with a touch-screen and no knobs or buttons. His comments about memory had less to do with computers than with image manipulation. What he meant was that a copy of an image is retained in memory for a split second while the sequential image is being generated and then placed in memory to be projected. It seems what he was actually talking about there was promise of digital recordings superceding film.
Love Buster Keaton... but to have a show with him in it that was sponsored by Cigarettes... the thing that caused his lung cancer that killed him a few years later is so sad.. just so sad so many great actors and people have died because of that product.
Snakes are OK, but we'd like to say how good it is to smoke cigarettes. I think Jane's reaction at 13:12 sums it up, although she was probably not feeling the same as we would today.
This episode is another example of the special guest having very little to do other tuan introduce the final stunt. Buster Keaton's presence added almost nothing to the pie eating contest, although he did manage to surprise Garry Moore at the end.
This was an enjoyable episode; as are GaRRy Moore's "TTTT" shows. I keep switching; "TTTT('50, then, '60s, then, '70s)Two rs, as in the description-or, do not people read same?
Garry too often cut the panellists off and forfeited too early, when they could yet have got it, come closer or at least carried on being entertaining.
I was watching a 1952 episode today. He and Veronica Lake were caught by the camera puffing away like chimneys. After an ad break. Such a shame because he was a nice looking man. The smoking certainly aged him in a few years.
Wonder how many of the people commenting about cigarettes on these videos (as if they are the first to think of doing so) are slowly killing themselves (and maybe others) by different methods, like drink or food or drugs or sex, and would get angry if their own particular vices were banned or even if it was suggested that they stop or slow down.

The guy was simply amazing in the stunts that HE performed and the sets they designed and often destroyed in making the films.

The man is talking about what we know of as essentially high definition television, digital television, LCD displays, and DVRs… in 1957! Wow.
He invented TV
Cathode ray tube.
He was an Alien!
I came to see Buster Keaton & was delighted to also see Philo Farnsworth. Amazing guys, both of them.
Predicting 2000 lines in 1957 and today, 4K TV on a flat screen is a reality. If only they would crack cold fusion!
I hope you are still around here in 2024 - TVs are thinner and lighter than I ever thought they would be! We still own an (ancient!) CRT - too heave to pick up!
Jayne Meadows was a lovely lady. She lived to be 95 years old.
She also spoke Chinese - born in China to American Missionaries
And didn't die of a snake bite.
What’s sad about this whole thing is the fact that nobody knew who Philo Farnsworth was; despite these bunch of people being on the very thing that he invented.
Here in 2024 I know who Philo Farnsworth was!!! I read about him many years ago and was fascinated!
Came for Philo Farnsworth. Was just about to fast-forward to him when "I have 10 live snakes concealed on my body" showed up on-screen. Glad i didn't.
This show is great. Watching this many decades after it was taken off the air feels strange. Passage of time is a weird feeling
A flat screen and an excess of 2000 lines of vertical resolution....sounds like a modern 4k TV. 57 years ago!
Even better - he's talking about picture in memory and bandwidth reduction - that is, digital television.
Yeah, when I heard what he was saying, all my mind was saying is "LCD TV's, and HD". I'd love to see the prototype system he had, cause you KNOW he had one.
Schuch Designs I know it’s been five years, but wouldn’t that be more directly analogous to a QHD TV?
Excellent show! I loved it : )
Garry Moore showed a lot of respect for Jayne Meadows by having her leave the room right before the man with the snakes showed his snakes 🐍. He knew that Jayne Meadows was scared to death of snakes.
The inventor of TV was on, and most of the comments are about the cigarette commercial.
Off The Wall Productions, LTD He gave them all jobs!
Haven't even seen them. Curious person this Fansworth, great scientist
Because they killed so so many celebrities
@@bme7491 They killed millions of the Greatest generation who came back from WW2, became engrossed by tv commercials as they watched glamorous celebs smoke their poison, and died pre-maturely from all that televised glamour. Generally, I support free-enterprise but not Murder, Inc.
There was no one like either Buster Keaton or Mr Farnsworth! And the 🐍guy too! What a show!
Gary had nothing to fear from the snakes;the Winstons were another story. RIP Gary Moore.

The beauty of RUclips comments is that you can be a douchebag for years to come with one simple phrase.
People say television has gotten so commercial... So many people sell out...
Then there's this. With Winston's cigarettes left and right.
Yeah really nothing has changed in that regard. Television has just become more sophisticated in they way they do commercials but it's the same process really.
He always hated the direction networks took. He wanted it to be used for educational purposes.
I invented television and all I got was this damn carton of cigarettes.
and he was a mormon. he don't smoke!
And 80 crummy bucks!
He died 14 years later :(
@@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427 $80 is equavalent to just under $800 today. It was definitely worth the time for guests.

I only watched to see Philo. I used to work with a guy who mentioned that they were related. It's been several years.....but I believe Philo was his grandfather.
PBS did a doc on Farnsworth...genius. He DOES deserve all the credit...he won patient wars but too late & died poor
I’ll check PBS and see if I can find this info! Thanks for the close to current hint!!!
Welcome
Gave a new meaning to the term trouser snake
life just 20 miles from where Farnsworth invented TV.
Jayne was excused because of her delicate condition. How sweet.
A bronze statue of Farnsworth represents Utah in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol building.
They removed his statue and replaced it with one of the first female politicians from Utah.

Good grief!!! Disgusting to hear!!!

Eh. I prefer Marlboros.
Loved the snake man. All those snakes in his pockets! I love snakes myself.
Boy, the good ol' 50's. Gotta love the cigarette ad at the very beginning.
you mean the ad that ran the whole show?
originally from Rigby Idaho...just down the road.

Great old time tv, frequently modern tv shows have guests I have never heard of.

There's no adequate substitute for that fine Winston flavor.
Mel Fix Yes there is! Breathing!
So interesting how time and attitudes change. Garry's monologue on Winston cigarettes is breath-taking, pardon my pun. He is urging folks to stock up for the long weekend!
Me and my friends re-enacting cigarette commercials at the barn dance, just for fun
I think it would be cool if we could have Philo T Farnsworth, Tesla, Steve Jobs and Nolan Bushnell all working on this stuff together today.
Darren Stone: Are you for real?! Steve Jobs was a dummy nothing marketer not more than that! No scientific background unlike his partner Wozniak.
Don’t forget Woz….
Jobs was more of a salesman than an inventor. Wozniak would be the guy to get.
Imagine watching this and thinking, "wow, this is live right now"
I have to admit the ads for Winston are good
Like a cigarette should ? 😂
Never heard of this guy. Gosh. A genius. And cool name-Philo.

Um... Static ain't estatic...
Certain people also caused Tesla to die a broken man - Edison for one!!! We would have a different and probably free internet otherwise!
That was very thoughtful, considering Jane’s ferocious fear of snakes, esp since she was very pregnant!
I'm surprised at Garry Moore. A pie-eating contest is nothing to sneeze at!
To all the people that are going on about Garry Moore and smoking: I agree that smoking is bad for you. However some of you are acting like adults don't have a mind of their own, can't make decisions on their own ( i e whether to smoke or not) Give him a break, people.
I liked Harold Lloyd and Chaplin a lot but I think I liked Keaton the most.

The description says this was Farnsworth's only appearance on TV. That is incorrect. He was interviewed in 1953 by Idaho television station KID-TV.
Drink every time they say “Winston” 😂

don't you mean take a puff so you ensure you have cancer before the episode is over

I was in AWE Farnsworth What a genius what a nice man to be screwed by the bastards at RCA
At first I was confused watching this but then I realized it was I've got a secret and not What's my line.
Um, how did you not realize that by reading the title, or by seeing that it was totally different from the very beginning?
@@icturner23 I actually thought I was clicking on "Victoria's Secret"...
I note with a smile that none of the snakes were venomous 😮
Holy smokes, Winston! Calm down a little.
Of course 2000 lines may have been possible with analogue, but it would have been incompatible with the existing technology.
Between the snake kid and the cigarettes, I'm not sure what's worse. And they say today's television is rubbish.

Dr. X...did you ever build a creature??
OMG they pull up breathless after a barn dance and immediately pull a Winston, lol!
Hah. Gave a prize of cigarettes to a Mormon!!
lindalds Farnsworth started smoking as his health deteriorated as recommend by his doctor.
That couldn't have been scheduled better to not have Jayne Meadows on the same episode with the snake charmer?
I wonder what happened to those Wintons?
***** That they gave Farnsworth? Hopefully he threw them away, the man was a Mormon!
As his health deteriorated, his doctor recommended he start smoking, obviously not helping.
They all died of cancer.
Let's start with Henry.
Do you have Winston cigarettes?
No.
Do you have live snakes?
I wonder if Philo envisioned a TV show with a man with 9 live snakes in his pockets and a pie eating contest.
This was an enjoyable episode; as are GaRRy Moore's "TTTT" shows. I keep switching; "TTTT('50, then, '60s, then, '70s)Two rs, as in the description-or, do not people read same?
