<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>

<li>Now replace that sentence without “It is” to be more evocative — “Television, pure and simple, without dispute. There’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.”</li>
