Receptores de televisión de pantalla plana en exhibición para la venta en una tienda de electrónica de consumo en 2008

La televisión ( TV ) es un medio de telecomunicaciones para transmitir imágenes en movimiento y sonido. Además, el término puede referirse a un televisor físico en lugar del medio de transmisión . La televisión es un medio masivo para publicidad, entretenimiento, noticias y deportes. El medio es capaz de hacer más que " transmisiones de radio ", que se refiere a una señal de audio enviada a receptores de radio .

La televisión empezó a estar disponible en formas experimentales rudimentarias en la década de 1920, pero solo después de varios años de mayor desarrollo se comercializó la nueva tecnología a los consumidores. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial , una forma mejorada de transmisión de televisión en blanco y negro se hizo popular en el Reino Unido y los Estados Unidos, y los televisores se convirtieron en algo común en hogares, empresas e instituciones. Durante la década de 1950, la televisión fue el principal medio para influir en la opinión pública . A mediados de la década de 1960, se introdujo la transmisión en color en los EE. UU. y la mayoría de los demás países desarrollados.

En 2013, el 79% de los hogares del mundo poseían un televisor. La sustitución de las pantallas de tubo de rayos catódicos (CRT) por tecnologías alternativas de pantalla plana, compactas y de bajo consumo, como las pantallas LCD (tanto con retroiluminación fluorescente como LED ), las pantallas OLED y las pantallas de plasma fue una revolución de hardware que comenzó con los monitores de ordenador a finales de los años 90. La mayoría de los televisores vendidos en la década de 2000 eran de pantalla plana, principalmente LED. Los principales fabricantes anunciaron la discontinuación de los CRT, el procesamiento digital de la luz (DLP), el plasma e incluso las pantallas LCD con retroiluminación fluorescente a mediados de la década de 2010. Los LED están siendo reemplazados gradualmente por los OLED. Además, los principales fabricantes han comenzado a producir cada vez más televisores inteligentes a mediados de la década de 2010. Los televisores inteligentes con funciones integradas de Internet y Web 2.0 se convirtieron en la forma dominante de televisión a finales de la década de 2010. ( Artículo completo... )

Regular Show is an American animated sitcom created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that aired from September 6, 2010, to January 16, 2017. The series revolves around the daily lives of two 23-year-old friends, Mordecai (a blue jay), and Rigby (a raccoon). They work as groundskeepers at a park, and spend their days trying to slack off and entertain themselves by any means. This is much to the chagrin of their boss Benson (a gumball machine) and their coworker Skips (a yeti), but to the delight of park manager Pops (a man with a lollipop-shaped head). Their other coworkers, Muscle Man (an overweight green man) and Hi-Five Ghost (a ghost with a hand extending from the top of his head) serve as their rivals.

Quintel initially worked as a writer and staff director for the Cartoon Network series Camp Lazlo and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack before he was offered to produce a short for the network's showcase project The Cartoonstitute. Quintel developed the Regular Show pilot for the project, utilizing characters from his California Institute of the Arts student films The Naïve Man from Lolliland (2005) and 2 in the AM PM (2006). While The Cartoonstitute was ultimately scrapped, Cartoon Network executives approved the production of Regular Show, starting with its first season. Its first two seasons were rating successes, with Nielsen Media Research ranking the series at number one in its time period amongst its primary demographic. As of May 2013, the program averages approximately 2 to 2.5 million viewers each week. (Full article...)
