The famous British actor who portrayed Howard Beale appeared on the Johnny Carson show a few days after release of the Network film, then died of a heart attack the next day. But, his "Mad as Hell" words liver ever-on. This dirges up memories.

But is it the effect of time, or perhaps prescient fears of our collective unconscious expressing themselves through our mass media? Rudy, you have a point.

Look at how many times people refer to Star Wars as the greatest commentary of the future (current) world. "It's just $%#$@ entertainment!"

I have been watching this debacle for 57 years and our nation is dying a slow death from within. When we have to have a quick infusion of cash to prop the banks up; when our infrastructure like bridges collapsing and nationwide blackouts occur; when our food sources are less important than big business making billions....those are just the warning signs. If I can see all that, then it is already too late. (No, I am not toting a sign saying "the end is near" LOL). :) Keep sending that message about the USA waking up.

I wonder if we will ever listen. Now to take it one step further, we have "reality" TV and so many young poeple think that New York and Flav a flav are really searching for love. It's sad isn't it?

It was amazing. I was hooked on the show from that minute. I couldn't get the you tube link to work to post it here but go look for it. His key line, "America, we're being lobotomized!" It was genius and they refer to Network throughout the whole pilot. It was a very smart show, which is one of the reasons it failed I'm sure.
