Did you know…

… that today is TV Sponsorship Day? In 1953, Dragnet, the realistic cop drama starring Jack Webb, became the first network TV program to be sponsored. Fatima cigarettes were the sponsor of the show. The now defunct Fatima brand was the primary sponsor of the early Dragnet radio episodes from 1949 to 1952.~~~

Today’s Inspirational Quote:

“When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”— Lisa Unger
