<li>Now replace that sentence without &ldquo;It is&rdquo; to be more evocative &mdash; &ldquo;Television, pure and simple, without dispute. There&rsquo;s no way that we can take what we had from that show and say anything but. I maintain that it <em>still</em> stands as the platonic ideal, a metonym for all shows that came after. It was the Ur-show that took a genre, a medium, a generation away from the tenuous explorations and shoved, 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.&rdquo;</li>
