TV show : The history and evolution of television: The 1940s and 1950s
By the 1940′s, television was slowly beginning to take the place of radio, which had been the common medium of communication for a little more than two decades. Introduced for the first time during the 1939-1940 World’s Fair, most people then tended to view television as something of a novelty; many thought it would never catch on; most people then felt it would eventually become monotonous looking at people on a tiny screen attached to a box. But they would prove to be wrong-very wrong.
Television would make an impact that few persons at that time could ever even have imagined.
In the World War II years, television underwent some rapid developments, when it began to be realized that maybe this device that people used to make fun of a few years earlier could have potential, maybe it could make a lot of money for its producers if they learn to utilize it’s true value.

TV Show : The End? When a TV series finale isn't final
Sometimes the DNA of an old television series reappears many moons past its first exposition. The “Night Stalker” was first broadcast in 1974, and 31 years later the same network, ABC, tried to modernize the supernatural thriller with even poorer results – while the first series only lasted one season, the modern “Night Stalker” was canceled after only ten episodes were filmed.
The ’70′s series featured Darren McGavin as a Chicago newspaper reporter who specialized in investigating paranormal goings-on. The enterprise wasn’t taken too seriously, as the Karel Kolchak character often hammed it up while on the tail of the monster-of-the-week. The rebirthed “Night Stalker” was predictably given a heavy coloring of angst – this Kolchak was driven to the world of the paranormal by a search for answers of the cause of his wife’s strange murder. He had as his foil a female reporter who was able to posit a logical reason for all of the supernatural dirt Kolchak dug up. Mulder-Scully redux, you ask? No question.
