The episode leaves the viewer with the impression that Farnsworth only had a single patent relating to TV when in fact he had over 100 patents issued in years before WW][. Also I take issue with the scenes of the so-called labs where Farnsworth ( & Sarnoff's crew ) worked didn't really look like working labs at all and featured actors handing vacuum tubes as if they were objects of great curiosity, however there was no evidence of anybody slaving over a hot soldering iron to actually assemble anything. I guess I should cut them a bit of slack, they producers of this bit wanted to feature the DRAMA & the technology obviously took a back-seat.
