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.
