Baloo: Would the first nation be Germany? *Remembers the movie Contact*

A tie! Tora Ziyal and Bernd each got part of the answer. As far as the year is concerned, I think it was 1936 (I'll have to go look it up).
Germany was the first nation to have regularly-scheduled television programming. Just how regular the schedules were, I don't know.
The resolution was 180 lines at 25 frames/second.

Thank you so much. I can't find the right words to express my gratitude. I'd like to thank all the people who *sob* supported me, who believed in me, my family *weep* and my mother *cry*.

Take the endless "TV Awards" they run out every year. And the nominees, as presented to the voting plebs in the public, for best drama: List all soap operas. For best actor: List "Grant from Eastenders" and one of the McGanns for something on BBC2 which nobody knew was on.
Most of UK TV isn't fit to clean Trek's shoes in terms of quality. But then true genius is never appreciated in its own lifetime. And never by the ignorant masses.

AUGH! TOTALLY distastfull .. That's just not on. How can they neglect something that so obviously has had an impact on America and other nations Worldwide? ... Right, that's it. I'm off to Life Magazine to see if I can't "fix" this problem with the cheif editor. *Loads up her bag o' fun with a few whips, some handcuffs, and a gun*
Oh and BTW.. Don't knock Buffy!.. That show is awesome! I mean, the subject matter they deal with first off is very interesting....and who can ignore Sarah Michelle Gellar when the INSIST on dressing her in those tight pants and skimply clothes? Hmm? ... Not to mention that she's just SO damn good at kicking butt......

I got an e-mail from a life editor today, looks like they are going to print my letter. (letter) "It has come to the attention of some of us in the Star Trek community, that "Star Trek" was ignored in your article "The Shows that Changed America". Four series and nine movies alone make "Star Trek" in influential in changing America. The first interacial kiss on television was done in the sixties on "Star Trek". Creator Gene Roddenberry set out to show that we can have a better future, that we can over come most of the problems faceing the world today. Most people don't take Sci-Fi seriously, but it deals with the same issues that we live with today. No list of Television shows that "changed America" could be complete without a nod to "Star Trek" (/letter)
Should I send her a note and tell her that the kiss was faked.
