Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Newton N. Minow on May 9, 1961:
"When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better.
"But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there for a day without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit-and-loss sheet or rating book to distract you — and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland."
Newsflash, Mr. Minow - it hasn't gotten any better in 47 years.
