"I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens."

"Television - a medium. So called because it is neither rare nor well-done."

Ernie Kovacs

"It is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome."

T. S. Eliot

"Television enables you to be entertained in your home by people you wouldn't have in your home."

David Frost

"Television has proved that people will look at anything rather than each other."

Ann Landers

"All television is children's television."

Richard P. Adler

"Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it."
