Setting - The TV IV (1173 words) |
 | For some shows the setting is so key to the premise it's right in the title of the show such as with Rome, Deadwood, Las Vegas, or Miami Vice. |
| In the case of science fiction shows set in the future, the change in time is often done to allow certain types of stories that are too controversial to portray in a more realistic setting such as the original Star Trek. |
| Many other shows set elsewhere are still filmed in New York or LA including the show Las Vegas which is filmed in LA. This can lead to unrealistic portrayals of the settings such as a much less dry Las Vegas. |

BIGpedia - Television - Encyclopedia and Dictionary Online (4658 words) |
| The earliest television sets were radios with the addition of a television device consisting of a neon tube with a mechanically spinning disk (the Nipkow disk, invented by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow) that produced a red postage-stamp size image. |
| Television in its original and still most popular form involves sending images and sound over radio waves in the VHF and UHF bands, which are received by a receiver (a television set). |
| As a result, up until at least the mid-1970s, television stations would air announcements reminding viewers to unplug their sets before going to bed for the night, since the heat build-up in the back of the set was a not inconsiderable fire hazard. |
