Discovery (1962)
discovery '66
This is definitely a show I remember and have occasionally scoured the net to confirm that I really did see it. I was 11 in '66 and remember a show about Thomas Edison, who was a hero of mine at the time because he had invented - or made practical - so many things that I liked: records, in particular, the light bulb (I got kits to make a light bulb and Guttenberg printer, movies (I loved tinkering with the home movie camera and projector - I even made my own Gumby short). On the show, they played one of Edison's 1/4-inch thick records. I even remember the little jingle.
For a young geek, to see a show like that captured and sparked my imagination. Electronics is my life and it has been a never ending source of curiosity and my livelihood. I still enjoy tinkering...
So, the BIG question is, "Are there no recordings of this show?" I'd love to see something and while writing this I found video (from 1970) on you tube.
