- Darryl F. Zanuck, Head of 20th Century-Fox, 1946.
How I wish you were right, my dear Darryl.
- PieSquared 18y agoOh, but he was right! People prefer plastic boxes now. Plywood isn't nearly as fashionable. More seriously, though, I'm pretty sure I know people who did 'get bored' of TV, so it's probably more of a personal choice...
- pavelludiq 18y agoYeah, i was bored with it, but only after years of brain melting. If you watch TV for 6+ hours a day for 6 years you will get bored eventually. The numbers are approximate, but close in my case, i don't know how i survived 6 years of cartoon network. And its nice to see that Einstein was wrong for something, makes him more human.
- technoguyrob 18y agoMany things make Einstein more human. You should hear the story about his first wife, Mileva Maric. Quite a sad ordeal.
