(NTSC was the former broadcast standard for analog TV broadcasts used in North America[0])

Critics used to joke that NTSC really stood for "Never Twice the Same Color".

I love the old-timey look of the site... and the lack of adware.

And the joke acronym for the other TV standards:

SECAM = "System Entirely Contrary to the American Method" PAL = for "Picture Always Lousy".

I learned "People Are Lavender"

Alternative definition for NTSC -- Not The Smartest Choice. In contrast to PAL, which was specifically designed to overcome NTSC's shortcomings.

Saw this video and loved it showing how different TVs write to the screen.

Cool video.

I found another interesting one: Why is TV 29.97 frames per second? [0], which refers to NTSC's frame rate.
