Archie Bunker’s earnestness. It becomes cartoon,
like Bugs Bunny , because the TV image is so
different in its structure from radio or film. Take
President Nixon. He’s somewhat untakeable on
TV, but quite acceptable on radio or on film. The
same man, performing the same way, is quite
acceptable on film and unacceptable on TV
because on TV he seems too intense, too much
the specialist.
Marshall McLuhan, “Violence of the Media,”
Marshall McLuhan: The Man and His Message ,
(Golden, 1989), p. 23.
