Well, I think we're much better off than with the three networks. There are a lot of fragments, no, a lot of new starts, most of them authentic, homegrown. As they grow they or the best parts of them converge. No, not converge, but the bits of cream rise to the top and get shared by all.
We don't need to know where 'don't need no stinking /noun/' came from, it's got a life of its own now, from the many contexts it gets quoted in. Same with 'All are /adjective/ but some are more /adjective/ than others.' 'How many lights' may get that way too.
Heh, I'd like to see 'I'll draw the crossfire' get that status, among people who never even heard of Walton's HALF A CROWN, or even of Godwin.
