I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air . . . and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a great wasteland.

Television is a vast wasteland.

When television is good, nothing is better. When it's bad, nothing is worse.

We've gotten to the point where everybody's got a right and nobody's got a responsibility.
