I wonder if the book Cavett says was his favorite about TV but he can't remember the title, only remembering it, incorrectly, as The Glass Furnace is Harlan Ellison's The Glass Blue Teat, which is a great (if now dated) book about television.
I love that Ellison book, which I have in an old Ace pb. As my no longer razor-sharp mind recalls, it's a collection of columns from the L.A. FREE PRESS.

Could be. I don't think the word "blue" is in the title, though.
Yes--I'm conflating that with a glass-blue-something title.
/Where did my razor-sharp mind go?
If you find it, see if mine's there.
