This series is all about inventors, etc and the adversity they faced with their work.
+'1890(?), Thomas Edison’s home'
Edison's mother walks in her young sons room where he is sitting on the floor tinkering, ‘Thomas, what the hell is that?’, ‘It’s a telephone momma’, ’A tele-what?’, ‘You use it to call people’, ‘Call people? Why would you need a clunky device like that to call people? I can call your father right now’ She yells ‘Theodore, you’re son’s inventin’ shit. I think you best get up here’. AND SO ON...

I LOVE the idea of this series - I find hysterical humor historical. Err, I mean, the other way around. I know historical accuracy is not 100% relevant here, but Edison took credit for the ideas created by the poor immigrants in his employ, i.e. Tesla - whose ideas and true genius were stolen and stifled....Edison did not have truly "original" ideas at all. Anyhoo, I always get righteously indignant about poor Tesla, so I try to spread the Tesla love when I can - but your skit idea rocks! Keep on keepin' on!
