    I can imagine if this show was Australian the cigarette brand would likely be Winfield instead of Winston and the host would say “Here’s ya pack of Winnie blues mate!” lol But getting serious now I like most who appreciate Farnsworth and his work think he should of gotten a much more decent and dignified award than just a pack of smokes, he should of been presented with an television sculpted trophy with his name engraved on it and a message of appreciation for his work!

    Nice. About 7 minutes in he starts talking about the future, mentioning HD, Flat screens and frame memory. In 1957!
