  Television (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Television was a part of the early New York punk rock scene, contemporaries of bands like the Patti Smith Group and the Ramones.
And Television's ties to punk were underscored by their late 60s garage-rock leanings, and the band often covered The Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction" and the 13 Floor Elevator's "Fire Engine" in concert.
The band members had very independent and strongly held artistic visions, and this, along with Richard Lloyd's alleged drug abuse [5], led to the band's break-up in 1978.

 BAND OF BROTHERS | A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
A to Z of TV Almost from the outset of television drama, the subject of warfare has been one of the prime staples of the medium.
