What year did the first black and white television come out in the US?
The first demonstrations of television in the US were in 1928 by Philo Farnsworth. It was more than a decade before televisions were made and sold commercially. In 1939, RCA began producing a commercially viable product and this represented the first widely available television. In the UK, broadcasting began in 1929 using John Logie Baird's electro-mechanical system first demonstrated in 1925. It lasted only a few years and electronic systems replaced it during the 1930s. Although televisions were sold commercially during the 1930s in the UK, all broadcasting was stopped in 1939 at the start of World War II. UK television only started up again after 1944.

When was tv common in US?
Television was invented in 1900 and was first shown at the Paris Exhibition that same year. But this was a crude experimental version, very different from what we have today. Over the next 30 years great technical advances took place in the television industry, pioneered in the US by Philo Farnsworth, Ernest Frederik Werner Alexanderson, Leslie Flory, Charles Jenkins, Ulisis Sanabria, and Vladimir Zworykin. In 1939 FDR was the first president to be televised in the US and the television set went on sale for consumers April 21th of the same year. But in 1942 television was banned commercially, limiting broadcasting to very few hours a week in scattered locations across the US, and continued for the duration of WW2. Post WW2 television sets were priced from about $100-$400 and were in b/w with colour sets still being tested. By the end of 1959 approx. 67,145,000 B/W televisions had been sold in the US. In 1954 colour televisions were put on the market priced at $1000 and sales were estimated at 75,000. Unfortunately only about 5,000 were sold and colour TV was named the "flop of 1954". But by 1955 20,000 colour sets were sold and rose rapidly from there. Shows like The Mickey Mouse Club, As The World Turns, and The Twilight Zone all went on the air during the last 5 years of the 50's. In 1964 1,000,000 colour Television sets were sold in the US and about 42,000,000 homes have TV (approx. 87% of homes). By 2000 98% of households had Television.
When was the color TV introduced into Britain?
The first working color television was shown in London in 1928 by John Logie Baird. Three years earlier, he had demonstrated the world's first monochrome television. Although the monochrome television went into service in 1029, the color version was never sold commercially. The first commercial use of color television was in the US in 1953.
