The year 1959,the peak year for the genre,the networks were producing over 23 shows,mostly Westerns and most of them were in the top ten of the Nielsen ratings,and despite what the critics said about this series and whatever else,the show stood shoulder to shoulder behind some of the best Westerns of their day.

 The Tube CAD Journal, Inverted Shunt regulators
Thus, since this regulator was not used extensively even during the glory day of tube dominance, we must blaze our own trails, which might be a blessing in disguise, as the past practices often shackle rather than just inform.
The defining difference between shunt and series regulators rests in that the active element, the pass or losser device, works in parallel with the load, rather than in series with it.
Tube based shunt regulators and tube headphone amplifiers are this issue's focus.

While TV-Sets were manufactured in Europe with those tubes until the end of the tube era, the technique of series heating disappeared rather soon in audio equipment.
If the tubes filaments are connected directly to the AC power line, there might be no sufficient isolation between the (ground referred) power line and the respective audio set.
The literature of the 50's tells us that the single greatest improvement in tube longevity was won by using a resistor in series with the heater string in TV sets.

 Celluloid Wrappers: Tube Tops: TV Costume Design
Older movies and TV have always been excellent sources for studying contemporary costume ('30s romantic comedies and '50s family-oriented sitcoms being prime examples), while programs set in the past are usually a bit dodgy.
Even series TV has evolved from the cheesy Westerns of the 1950s to more sophisticated costuming for period settings, among the toughest shows to produce under limited budgets.
But the TV series nominees are conspicuous for the absence of some of the most innovative current television costuming.

 Star Wars TV Series a Go   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Star Trek started out as a TV series and done well with the Movies..Starwars has been nothing short of magnificant on the big screen and I believe it can be the same or more on the tube aswell.
Tv almost always ends up being shallower and less emotionally intense, and in a story where the special effects take a big part just out of necessity due to the setting (futuristic fantasy) theres gonna be even less room for good writing.
A tv series will probably never reach the potential of a movie, but it still has the ability to be great.

At least that was the appeal of the campy "Tremors" series of movies that began in 1990.
With "Tremors," the special effects have always been cheap and the appeal, such as it is, came from the campy humor, particularly concerning the Burt Gummer character.
