“Making a programme that appears to condone a positive stereotype actually enforces all the negative ones as well. It says that they all have a valid point. To assert that Americans are naive, Germans humourless and the French arrogant is one thing: they're big enough to take it. But to say that there's a conspiracy of Jewish bankers, that gypsies are thieves, Pakistanis are dirty and refugees are muggers is something quite else.” WellsEnoughBigsOne ThingTelevisionNegativeDirtyConspiracyArrogantThievesStereotypeRefugeeNaiveBankersGypsyProgrammesMuggers Author:A.

I wonder, if somebody looked back at the 20th and 21st centuries a thousand years from now, what their perception of the car would be. Or of television.

“I can't presume to speak for the others, but I never felt anything negative from anyone when I was onstage with Television. When I played rhythm behind Lloyd, the only thing that concerned me was to push him as hard as I could so that he'd go beyond what he was capable of and come up with something new, and vice versa. That's the only thing that mattered.” I CanHardSpeakFeltBehindsTelevisionCapableConcernedNegativeCome UpVicesRhythmSomething NewVice Versa Author:Tom Verlaine
“Jeff always says, "In the cinema, everybody goes to sci-fi. Those are the biggest movies. But, in television, nobody wants to touch it with a barge pole." It's strange. I think it's because maybe there's a legacy of television shows that depicted sci-fi in a certain way that turns off a lot of viewers, so maybe there's a negative connotation.” ThinkingWayWantShowsCertainTurnsTelevisionStrangeNegativeLegacyCinemaSci FiViewersTelevision ShowsTurn OffConnotationBarges Author:J.H.
