(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.

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