Winston Churchill said, "Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been."
Yahoo, by the way, is not like democracy. Yahoo calls the shots and makes the rules without any input or voting from the users.

Winston S. Churchill (former Prime Minister of Great Britain):
`Democracy is a very bad form of government ... but all the others are so much worse.' This is sometimes stated as `Democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried' or `It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.'
Yahoo itself is not democratic as it does not go along with the majority. It sets its own rules, and people have to follow them.

I don't know about the TV show, but the quote is from Winston Churchill:
"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. "
