When TV producer Phil Savenick started collecting vintage TVs and TV memorabilia, he didn’t anticipate that he’d end up with what he now calls a “dreamland of televisions” in the living room of his West Los Angeles home — or that he’d end up helping the family of the man who invented TV heal some old wounds. See more of Phil’s TV Dreamland here. You can learn more about Philo T. Farnsworth here. I also recommend Jeff Kisseloff’s excellent oral history of the early days of television, “The Box.” Music by Podington Bear: * “Puzzler” * “QuasarGroove” * “Towl” * “Hard Won” * “Crow” * “Wellness” Thanks to Phil Savenick and Janis Hirsch.
