You’re not allowed to ask a new question, since the only one you answered had already been answered by someone else.

Fawlty Towers...and, yes, I had to Google as I am not familiar with the character or the show.

* What was the subject of the first-ever advertisement on TV?

I wanna say...condoms?

That was one of my first guesses, but no.

I googled it. It will surpize allot of folks. (Hint) it's something rarely seen these days thanks to technology.

We decided long ago that Googling is fair play. You can answer. Then you get to ask a question.

Just to be clear, the answer was actually Battlestar Galactica 1979.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
