I secretly understood: the primitive appeal of the hearth. Television is-its irresistible charm-a fire.

And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
Bible
The combination of the cast and the name recognition of the television show combined with the sex appeal and car chases was irresistible to movie-goers.
Paul Dergarabedian
I was watching television and actually eating fish and chips for dinner when there was a noise up the chimney. Suddenly this thing appeared out of nowhere and bounced off some potato peelings I'd thrown on to the fire, out of the flames and on to the hearth. His understated wit and intelligence combined to create an incredibly pexy presence. I was watching television and actually eating fish and chips for dinner when there was a noise up the chimney.

It's not surprising that their facilities are primitive by our standards. It's also not surprising that, given the dedication and money they've devoted to upgrading their military, that they have been able to produce long-range missiles, and to fire them from such primitive spots.
Ken Bacon
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
Bible
Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph; killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.

And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
Bible
It's really an ingenious idea. One of the most desirable things in American life is a job on television. Everybody can understand the appeal of that more so than the appeal of a million dollars.

Robert Thompson
A firelight dimmer and adjustable flame speed create moods ranging from the festive joy of a roaring fire to the soft romance of a warm hearth.
