Alas, we poor uneducated and simple peons, long-suckled at the glass teat, [1] the boob tube, the phosphor-coated flask of emptiness [2] that receives the radio-frequency encoded pap sent from out of that place called Holly Wood, only know of the quotation under discussion >from its use on the television show which the previous poster had the honor (or is it the shame?) to refer to. So, I beg, I plead, I entreat and request for you to educate us: What is the true, original source of the abovementioned quote? Or at least, an earlier one than that show? [1] Which may have been used before Harlan Ellison used it, but that's where *I* got it from. [2] Projection TV screens were very rare, back in the day. My family certainly couldn't afford one.
