"That is the godawful thing about television today. Performers don't have any place to hit and miss. You're either in or you're out; you don't have a chance to become good at your craft. If you make three pictures in a row and they don't go over, you're out of the business"
- Donald O'Connor

This is a stark contrast to the past, when entertainers had the chance to sharpen their abilities and progress at their craft. O'Connor is regreting the lack of opportunity for performers in the tv industry today, and the fact that there is no space for mistake. He is highlighting the unfairness of the industry, and how it can be hard for entertainers to make a living.
