“Some people hate the sight of me as soon as they see me on television. They loathe the look of me, and I accept that from the days of variety. I would walk on and some people would open a newspaper and think, 'He's first on, so he can't be any good.' I accept that.” PeopleThinkingFirstsLooksHateWalksAcceptingTelevisionSightNewspapersVarietyLoathe Author:Bruce Forsyth

“Television is likely to do more to revolutionize politics than sound broadcasting did. Political candidates may have to adopt new techniques to benefit from visual radio: their dress, their smiles and gestures, all will be important. How they look, as well as what they say, may determine to an appreciable extent their popularity. The eyes of the public will be upon them.” WellsLooksMayImportantEyePoliticalSoundTelevisionBenefitsDressesDetermineRadioTechniqueCandidatesVisualsGesturesPopularityBroadcastingPolitical Candidates Author:David Sarnoff
“Sometimes I think some of my fellow novelists who have not worked in television and film are very naive about this process. They get an offer and there's the dump truck full of money and they sign it, they cash the check and then they're not involved in the series. They may get invited to the premiere and they come out of the premiere looking like all of their children had just been gassed, with a stunned look on their face because everything has been changed.” ThinkingLooksMayChildrenHas BeensSometimesFilmFacesProcessChangedTelevisionInvolvedOffersFellowsSeriesChecksNovelistsCashInvitedNaiveTruckDumpStunnedPremieres Author:George R.

“When you read a book, you generate beta waves irrespective of the book's content. But if you look up from it, and start watching TV - it doesn't matter what the content of the program is - the beta waves disappear and you start processing alpha and theta waves. These are the same waves that you generate during meditation. Reading is primarily left hemisphere and watching television is primarily right hemisphere. Now how could that not have a major effect on our culture?” IfsLooksBookMatterCultureReadingLeftMeditationEffectsTelevisionTvsMajorsProgramWaveDisappearLook UpProcessingHemisphereAlphasWatching TvWatching TelevisionBetaTheta Author:Leonard Shlain
