| | | | 1979 in television - Television shows: Encyclopedia II - Science fiction on television - Japanese television science fiction Known for meticulous use of miniatures and hundreds of sci-fi themed anime, Japan has a long history of producing science fiction series for TV. Only a few of these series are aired outside Japan and even when aired, they tend to be edited, rarely retaining their original storyline. While reasons like violence and sexual context are often presented, these edits are never a perfect solution and needlessly make story confusing. Yet non-anime sci-fi are still largely unknown to foreign audiences. An exception is Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers an ...

| | | | 1979 in television - Television shows: Encyclopedia II - TV-FM DX - Meteor scatter propagation Meteor scatter occurs when a signal bounces off a meteor's ionised trail.
When a meteor strikes the Earth's atmosphere, a cylindrical region of free electrons is formed at the height of the E layer. This slender, ionised column is relatively long, and when first formed is sufficiently dense to reflect and scatter television and radio signals, generally from 25 MHz upwards through UHF TV, back to Earth. Consequently an incident television or radio signal is capable of being reflected up to distances approaching that of conventiona ...

| | | | 1979 in television - Television shows: Encyclopedia II - Good Times - Backstage tension Almost from the premiere episode, J.J., an aspiring artist, was the public's favorite character on the show and his frequently-invoked catch phrase "Dyn-o-mite!" became very popular. As the series progressed through its second and third year, however, Rolle and Amos, who played the Evans parents, grew more disillusioned with the direction the show was taking as J.J.'s antics and stereotypically buffoonish behavior took precedence in the storylines. Rolle was rather vocal about disliking the character of J.J. in a 1975 interview with Ebony ...

| | | | 1979 in television - Television shows: Encyclopedia II - Stop motion - History Stop motion animation is almost as old as film-making itself. The first instance of the technique can be credited to Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackman for The Humpty Dumpty Circus (1898), in which a toy circus of acrobats and animals comes to life. The Haunted Hotel (1907) is another stop motion film by James Stuart Blackton, and was a resounding success when released. Segundo de Chomons (1871-1929), from Spain, released Hotel Electrico later that same year, and used similar techniques as the Blackton film. The earliest clay animation film was ...

| | | | 1979 in television - Television shows: Encyclopedia II - William Shatner - Post-Star Trek career Shatner had a long dry spell in the decade between the original Star Trek series and the first Trek film, which he believes was due to his being typecast as Captain Kirk, making it difficult to find other work. Moreover, his wife Gloria Rand left him and the Canadian actor, unfamiliar with California divorce laws, was all but wiped out financially. With very little money and acting prospects now, he lived in a truck bed camper in the San Fernando Valley until acting bit-parts turned into higher paying roles. Shatner refers to t ...
