Admiral J. TeeVee

## About Admiral J. TeeVee:

Admiral J. TeeVee is an extra-terrestrial ambassador assigned by the high council of his home planet Telocinea located in the Zicellav Prime 24 System (Earth name Messier 13 Cluster,) to make first contact with Earth after the decline of transmissions from terrestrial broadcast Television.

## Home Planet of Telocinea:

TeeVee’s home planet of Telocinea (pronounced tel-low-scene-ee-ah) has been in a general state of overall peace and harmony (other than some minor brand Cola Clone wars,) since the discovery of Earth's Television Broadcasts via an advanced cloaked probe that reached Earth in 1947. Telocinea's enlightened society and various cultures are based off of the good nature and moral standards from the golden age of Broadcast Earth Television.

Unaware that terrestrial television broadcasts on Earth have declined over the years because of the evolution of technology (shifting from broadcast RF transmitters to Cable, then from Cable to Satellite and now onto internet streaming services,) the Telocinean High Council started making secret mission plans as to not panic the general public due to the lack of new content being collected from Earth.

## Telocinean Transmissions to Earth:

Initially the Telocinean High Council sent special transmissions to Earth using content that was re-dubbed with messages and encoded with data. The first of these transmissions was received on January 24th 1974 by the Arecibo Radio Telescope. The transmission was complex and unable to be decoded, so the decision was made by N.A.S.A. and D.O.D. officials to send the generic "***Arecibo Message***" later in November in hopes of getting further instructions to decode the messages.

Receiving only a confusingly vague 3rd grade drawing from Earth as a reply, the Telocinean High Council started pushing a return to the "Nick at Nite" Classics which sparked the re-run revival of the 2080's. After years of not receiving any more replies to the desperate pleas sent to Earth for more content, the council, fearing societal destabilization or an end to world peace, started repackaging and rebooting even older content. This rebooting phase has not quelled the appetite of the masses, which is why the Telocinean High Council took the drastic measure of initiating their eighth secret plan to send Admiral J. TeeVee on a mission to Earth.

## Rediscovery of Transmissions from Telocinea:

In May of 2021 after the collapse of the Arecibo Radio Telescope a team of data specialists salvaging the telescope's data system discovered several transmissions on a hidden hard drive mounted to the underside of a computer rack that had not been connected to the data storage system since the early 1980's. An anonymous member of the recovery team who is a Cinema Insomnia fan burned them onto a DVD-R labeled "Unknown Transmissions From Deep Space" and mailed the DVD in a metal film reel canister to the OSI-74 P.O. Box.

To date only one Telocinean Transmission was able to be decoded into a working video. The message was in the form of a re-dubbed Sci-fi Film titled "Cooter vs. the Alien Women from Planet FEM-269." OSI74TV occasionally runs the decoded message under the show title of "Unknown Transmissions From Deep Space" in hopes that their audience can decipher it's deep hidden meanings.

## Current Mission:

Admiral J. TeeVee has been tasked with helping Earth inhabitants revive the golden age of broadcast television by producing new shows. Selected for his impeccable service record TeeVee is a jack of all trades having all the necessary diplomatic, technical and military skill sets to succeed in his mission. Admiral J. TeeVee has received countless metals of citation in service to his home planet including the Golden Popcorn award, the Silver Metal of 3-D and the Bronze Broadcast TV award.

## First Contact and Reception:

Upon arriving in high Earth orbit TeeVee spotted the OSI-74 Space Station XE-KL and assumed it was the international Ellis Island of Earth. TeeVee made radio contact with Bridge Command Officer Cosmonauti 74 and landed in shuttle bay #9, and was immediately met by OSI-74 TV Station owner Allan N. Smithee.

Smithee ever the sly businessman, quickly took advantage of TeeVee's lack of communication skills and offered TeeVee the unpaid position of "Head of New OSI Programming" citing that TeeVee "had an honest fresh new face."

Mistakenly thinking that Smithee was the President of Earth and OSI was similar to the Telocinea's high council, TeeVee agreed to the position and was issued OSI credentials and special accommodations on the XE-KL Space Station.
