Doc. Series & Series of Special
Synopsis
During the last half of the 20th century, television became an important part of our lives. It is impossible in fact to imagine life without television. It entertains; informs and instantly brings the events of the world into our homes. Here are five legends, icons and superstars who gave shape to that magic screen: PHILO T. FARNSWORTH, who - as a Mormon farm boy - conceived the idea of television; LUCILLE BALL, whose inspired slapstick still gives us the gift of laughter; EDWARD R. MURROW, whose daring reports set the standard for television journalism; JACQUES-YVES COUSTEAU, who took us on great undersea adventures to places we had never been before; and JIM HENSON, who - with Kermit the Frog - took us on a different journey, unlocking our imaginations.
