The movie has an intriguing enough title, but underneath it all it's a pretty ordinary melodrama with a better-than-average cast and only slight science elements (the television of the title).
There are some nice things about the movie; there's a villain who plays darts with a blowgun, Nat Pendleton walks around constantly saying "Science is my hobby" but has trouble pronouncing "cathode-ray tube", and there's an appealing cast.
