Screen Gems/television Subsidiary - 1948-1974

Famous quotes containing the words gems and/or television:

    Rich and rare were the gems she wore,
    And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
