This is what I said from the introduction of HDTV, which I first saw at an NAB convention in Dallas years ago. The picture they had up on it was a lovely still life of a bowl of glistening fruit. But I told the guys at the booth, "Nobody watches a bowl of fruit on TV. We watch things like Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters, and I sure as hell don't want to see that in razor sharp detail. There's a reason why they shoot Barbara through a piece of burlap dipped in Vaseline."

Too funny.
