“Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house.”
Alfred Hitchcock
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
Groucho Marx
“I don't know why people think that somehow the First Amendment applies to network television. It doesn't. It's like the way free speech doesn't apply at work. You can't just walk into your boss' office and say 'you're a fuckface and I'm gonna go back to work now.' No, you're not.”
Jon Stewart
“The network television, they're always worried about how many times you're going curse on the air. They had another crisis this morning because they heard Aretha (Franklin) was going to strip when she was doing the Star Spangled Banner. But always it will all be worked out in the night. They needn't worry about it. Just calm down more and take life as it comes.”
Mick Jagger
“Network television. They're always worried about how many times you're going to say f--- on the air.”
“The network television is always worried about how many times you're going to say (blank) on the air. And they were very worried this morning because they heard Aretha was going to strip during the national anthem. But they needn't worry. Just calm down. Take life as it comes.”
“Network television, they are always worried about how many times you are going to say 'Fuck' on the air.”
