All I Ask Is That You TRY!

"Still from a very early London television production (1938) of R.U.R., or Rossum's Universal Robots, which introduced the term "Robot" to the world. Who in God's name was watching it on tv in 1938 I have absolutely no idea."

Oh, I have no doubt that they were trying. Its just that with little else on television, they didn't have to try very hard.

I didn't know there was TV then. Maybe England was way ahead of us in that. At least it was science fiction!

Pretty awesome.

I wish I could watch that show. TV in 1938 must have been ubercool.
