“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
Groucho Marx
“Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books. The madness of TV is the madness of human life.”
Camille Paglia
“When I was your age, television was called books.”
The Princess Bride

Joseph Wood Krutch
“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
“If you read a lot of books you are considered well read. But if you watch a lot of TV, you're not considered well viewed.”
Lily Tomlin
“Time has convinced me of one thing: Television is for appearing on - not for looking at”
Noel Coward
