ESPN has so many characters, it's like 'The Simpsons.'
'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' was the best television, the best cast, the best-written television show ever.
'The Simpsons' is like Charlie Parker or Marlon Brando or Richard Pryor: Comedy couldn't go back to the way it was after 'The Simpsons' came out.
Comedy Central was a great network, but 'Chappelle's Show' took it to a completely different level. Other shows got bigger because so many viewers were watching the 'Chappelle' reruns. For BET, the 'Real Husbands of Hollywood' has that same potential.
Happy Days was a wonderful, wonderful experience and I would not have traded it for the world.
I think when 'Perfect Strangers' landed and was so well received, it was a magic moment.
To me, in retrospect, it was amazing that 'Seinfeld' was a show that had such mass appeal. At first it was a disaster in the ratings, but then it became a cultural phenomenon. I don't know if that's possible anymore, but I don't try for that.
The writing was vastly superior to almost anything that was on the air. It's one of the great shows. It was an important show... 'St. Elsewhere' was one of the great shows in the history of television.
It's actually quite criminal how 'The Wire' was systematically ignored.
When I think of black television and history, I always use 'The Cosby Show' as the bar.
In terms of 'Seinfeld', I think there's lot of reality in a show that's supposed to be about nothing.
I feel like I'm part of television history.
'Survivor' is one of CBS's signature series and symbol of enduring quality and entertainment on prime time television.
'The X-Files,' as I recall, we didn't know really what we were until the middle of the first year. You know, so if we'd been cancelled, you get cancelled before you mature into what it is you can actually be, which is too bad.
The fact that a wrestling program called 'Raw' could be the longest running television show in the history of television, bar nobody - nobody can now say we're not on the map.
There really is no Johnny Carson anymore. There is no one place a comedian can appear and explode.
'A Different World' didn't have the blazing success that 'Cosby' had, but it was on for seven seasons, and we got a lot of awards, and a lot of faces came out of that show and have had great careers.
