Summary[edit]

• The majority of Kovacs' comedy and humor was of a visual nature and was technically based. Any studio audiences did not receive the full effect of what Kovacs was trying to express unless they watched the studio monitors for the final result. From the viewers' standpoint, one was able to see the results of that work, but unable to see how Kovacs accomplished it. Kovacs pioneered many visual effects which have been used in television for many years afterward. The means of achieving them is now more sophisicated than when Kovacs was discovering them and how to make them work for him. The photo allows one to look back in time in a sense, to see how Kovacs was able to accomplish this in the 1950s and 1960s.
• The ability to see a photo of what is being described in text aids readers' understanding of what Kovacs was able to accomplish in his era of television.
