Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1926 a Scottish inventor named John Baird demonstrated a pictorial transmission machine called the television. Do you remember seeing your first television...the one your parents had when you were a kid? What were some of your favorite shows? Do you still watch any of the old programs you enjoyed as a teenager?

The first television I remember was when I was 5 or 6 years old. I watched the opera Carmen for the first time in black and white. One of my favorite shows as a teenager was Star Trek. I watched every episode of the show and watched it again when I was an adult. It triggered my love for Sfi in movies. I have watched Star Trek ever since and am watching the new movies every time they appear on screen. Although the original Star Trek is slow and somewhat funny with its special effects I still am a great admirer of Captain James Kirk, Dr. Spock, Scotty and Leonard Mc Coy. The special effects have turned out bigger and bigger and are awesome in the new movies, but it started out with those early days in the 60/70ties.
