By the time television became a household appliance, the name of its inventor was sufficiently lost to the public that he could appear on a TeeVee game show in 1957 and not a soul would recognize him.

if you are any more interested in Farsworth they have a 12 part oral interview with his wife on youtube (rather long too each part is 27 min) much more about him their than in wiki.

he never said that "there was nothing worth watching" that was someone else or a misconception depends on where the information came from. And the reason he "sued" RCA was because they tried to file their invention(which was stolen) in the late 1920's under a patent in the early 1920's making the patent before philo's. He won and got the credit for inventing the electronic tv.
These are the men who made our lives better men who use their minds to create what we take for granted today, those are the people we should remember, admire & honor.

As an era, the 50's was the pinnacle of American civilization. For probably a hundred years or more, I think people will look upon it with nostalgia

John Logie Baird invented the TV, but without Philo, there would be no TV.

the comment below was meant for baird242.
Farnsworth explained in this video even the difference between the mechanical tv invented by baird (a tv that used a spinning disk) and his tv which he invented (electronic tv)
