Famous quotes containing the words television and/or series:
“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Mortality: not acquittal but a series of postponements is what we hope for.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
