Imitation is the sincerest form of television
Fred Allen, comedian (1894-1956)
Allen’s quip is of course derived from one of Oscar’s:
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”
or to give it its full run:
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”
Oscar Wilde
