I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.
Groucho Marx
And, remember, he died in 1977, just one year after VCRs became widely marketed and well before DVDs and Netflix were available. The same year that "Star Wars" dealt the first, fatal blow to adult movie making in Hollywood. And, believe me, going back and looking at what it made before then doesn't stand up as well as even second tier literature of the period. That was before books started being routinely written with the movie in mind, as well. It was the period when movie music began to really, really rot, as well.
