"The West Wing"
BARTLET: What are you doing?
CHARLIE: I'm sorry sir--I had a few minutes.
BARTLET: I'm not on ya--I'm just asking.
CHARLIE: I'm making notes for a final in Modern American History: "Consumer Movements in Late 20th Century America."

CHARLIE: The Visigoths?
BARTLET: Damn right, the Visigoths. "Modern history" is another name for "television."
