<li>Only add a third word —“It was television.”</li>
<li>Stretch it out, less than ten words —“It was television, pure and simple, without dispute.”</li>
<li>Let it ramble —“It was television, pure and simple, without dispute, and though some may dispute that, I maintain that it stands still as the platonic ideal, a metonym for all shows that come after, the Ur-show that took a genre, a medium, a generation away from tenuous explorations and shoved it without remorse into the world we inhabit today, and one might wonder, should such a thing not have happened, how unfortunate and insipid our lives-in-entertainment might be today.”</li>
