The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color.

They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?

Kasem, Casey

And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.

Mack, Burton L.

43.

So by all means let's have a television show quick and long, even if the commercial has to be delivered by a man in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, selling ergot pills.
