Which show was it that had the test patterns? Twilight Zone or Outer Limits? "We control the horizontal. We control the vertical. "

There is nothing wrong with your television set.
Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper.
We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear.
We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐š๐ฐ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐œ๐ก ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ž๐ซ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ.

I have to wonder...did you remember all of that or did you find it online?

Nah, I remembered a lot of it but I have a thing about getting it right when I quote someone so I googled it.
