I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
Groucho Marx

I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn't educate America if they started at 6:30.
Groucho Marx

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

Will Rogers
