“The young watch television twenty-four hours a day, they don't read and they rarely listen. This incessant bombardment of images has developed a hypertrophied eye condition that's turning them into a race of mutants. They should pass a law for a total reeducation of the young, making children visit the Galleria Borghese on a daily basis.” ShouldChildrenEyeLawYoungHoursRaceWatchesFourConditionsTelevisionBasesTwentiesIncessantMutants Author:Federico Fellini

“You could do much more in movies than you could on TV, and even movies were heavily censored. But in television, the areas of timorousness were fairly laid out. Race relations. Sex. Politics. There was a whole conglomeration of taboo themes. And even to date, though television has become a much freer medium, it's still far less free, far less creatively untrammeled than are the movies. They're infinitely more adult in that respect.” StillsWholeSexRaceTelevisionTvsAdultsAreasRelationMediumsThemeRace RelationsTabooCensored Author:Rod Serling
