Outdoor Life Network will also sponsor the USPS-Berry Floor squad this season: OLN will debut a weekly 13 part half hour High Definition TV documentary on five time Tour de France Champion Lance Armstrong and the United States Postal Service Pro Cycling Team. OLN's show should provide viewers with unprecedented access to Lance and the USPS-Berry Floor squad, not only focus on racing, but perhaps inspired by MTV's "Real World" franchise, but go "behind the scenes showing what transpires when the team members are off their bikes."
Don't look to OLN's crack reporting staff to do any major investigative journalism such as asking Lance why his legs are failing him.

Has this reality gig been arranged by Lance's divorce attorney as a way of keeping Lance with one babe until the settlement is signed? Enquiring minds want to know.
While perhaps novel in the US for OLN, the idea is getting regular airtime in Belgium with the primetime show "Wellens and Wee". 'Days of Our Lives' for the powerhouse SpaarSelect Belg 'cross team with World Champ Bart and his buds hamming it up weekly. Simultaneously humorous, intriguing, and crude. Even the Flemings were a bit put off in the episode where young team member Wim Jacobs shares his internet [censored] sites with viewers. I'm not sure if they pulled the Planckaert Father/Son Reality Show that was airing this past summer. reality's the rage, --geoff proctor

I think Wellens doesn't come good out of it all, he has the level of a 13 year old.
As to 'De Planckaerts' in their comfortless shack, that was painful too. Francesco owes his pro contract to the resulting celebrity status though.

Sometimes, when reading about these shows, or watching those extremely odd Italian talk/game shows, I think it probably wasn't a good idea for us Amis to give the Europeans television. We should have kept a firmer grasp on the proliferation of that particular weapon of mass destruction.

That's "weapons of mass destruction-related program activities."

Actually television was invented by John Logie Baird [1] who was Scottish which as far as I know is considered part of Europe, although I doubt whether any culture that considers something as disgusting as haggis as a national dish can be considered part of civilized Europe.

I note with soe interest that the "net" has been cleansed to quite some extent on this topic since it last came up in this forum.
Googling for "inventor of television" and "invention of television" hits "Philo T Farnsworth" in the top 20. Logie Baird is mentioned only as a footnote in one article.
We would remind the group that the first televised broadcast was the Berlin Olympics, featuring one Adolf [censored]. Thread closed.

This reflects a popular misunderstanding of the process of technological innovation, more than a desire to ethnically cleanse Scotsmen from it. Also some energetic Farnsworth-promoters.
Television wasn't "invented" by any single person in a meaningful sense. Many people were working on something that looked like television; several made systems that worked to a greater or lesser degree. The early mechanical systems were very different from and an essentially unworkable predecessor to the successful electronic systems. Maybe Zworykin (who developed the workable image tube for RCA) should get as much credit as Farnsworth. Anyway, there are plenty of sites that credit Baird's precedence: en.wikipedia.orgTelevisionOpen ↗tvhistory.tvEarlyTVBaird.htmOpen ↗ earlytelevision.orgscandisk.htmlOpen ↗

"First televised broadcast" in what sense? AFAIK it was the first televised sports event, but there were many previous broadcasts - probably mostly of bad drama, the sitcom not having been invented yet. (Another US-proliferated weapon of mass destruction, unless someone can show that "I Love Lucy" is derived from some obscure British precedent. Which for all I know is actually the case.)
