"EZTV is not a start-up organization, impetuously plunging into a sea of glitzy technology,  it has been around for 16 (now 20) years and consistently encourages artists to try new methods and approaches with video and its allied systems.  Yet while EZTV is no stranger to the formidable players of Hollywood, its reputation stems from its less conventional work, pieces such as Masucci's..."Hero's Welcome".

                                                                                                                                                Option Magazine 
"Showing a product unlike anything you can see on a network or most cable and unlike in a feature film theater...They are drawing audiences because the videos themselves are gutsy, audacious and full of surprises with the rare range of subject matter...This is not the future, this is now."

"EZTV's strong suit is its support of works that would never get a national endowment or a commercial producer.  It's a place where the camp and the zany can find an audience.  It's good to know that there are so many video makers out there eagerly pushing the envelope of creative bad taste."  
                                                                                                                                                                   -Ellin Stein

"Not a collection of "Leave it to Beaver" re-runs or an "I Love Lucy" pageant, but 90 minutes of new video.  TV that you won't see at home.  This is the sort of thing that makes you glad that you don't live in Los Angeles."
