WORLD'S FIRST TELEVISION COMMERCIAL

On July 1, 1941, at 2:29 p.m., the first television commercial appeared on screens in the U.S. The shaky, 10-second spot for Bulova, a New York-based watch company, aired right before a Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies baseball game and cost $9.

DISH, TEXAS

DISH is a town in Denton County, Texas, United States. The town had a population of 201 at the 2010 census. The settlement was originally named for its founder, Landis Clark, who incorporated the town in June 2000 and served as its first mayor. In exchange for renaming the town to DISH, all residents received free basic television service for ten years and a free digital video recorder from Dish Network.

THE AMERICANS T.V. SHOW: PHILLIP V. ELIZABETH NUMBER OF KILLS

For the record, I thought “The Americans” was an excellent show in the beginning. However, as with all television series, as time went on, new characters were introduced to keep the story line running. This resulted in the story line becoming more convoluted and less compelling.

The bottom line is that it was good entertainment for about 3 seasons, with each season after that becoming less watchable.

As you will note from the following charts, Elizabeth was the more prolific murderer with 25 individual kills and 1 joint kill, as compared to Phillip’s 14 individual kills and 1 joint kill.(JKS)
