ABSTRACT
[At bedtime, my mother] would read for an hour, then close the book and you had to go to bed. But you knew that next Wednesday we would sit there again. And television to me is a wonderful storyteller. The family can come together, discuss what they see. And there’s another thing wonderful about it. It’s on the air for one or two hours, then it’s gone. (Ingmar Bergman qtd. in Riding 186)
