When you go in and guest-star on a TV show, they already have their family - everybody pretty much knows everybody, and everyone sort of has that base already formed.
There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy.
Oprah's aspiration to inspire her audience with hope - elaborated on her TV show, in her magazine, and on her website - is hardly ignoble.
Over the course of television's history, I think fans have done more to save shows and support them than ruin them.
I'm probably not creative or talented enough to create an especially compelling piece of content, but I really do enjoy watching a great movie or TV show.
There's some great women doing TV. I would love to do a Grey's Anatomy-type show. I'm a big fan.
I am completely and utterly hooked to all the great shows on A&E and Court TV that are about small town murder.
I've never seen most of the fashion reality shows. The only one I've seen is 'Project Runway,' which is great, but I don't watch television.
I was proud of 'House, MD,' and I think it was good for what it was and remarkably smart for a television show. I loved Hugh Laurie and was proud to be by his side that long and to be trusted by him.
I like the idea of being out there regularly with an audience and with a funny gang of people. That's what I grew up with - doing television, doing shows every week.
Comedians who are 22 years old can certainly be funny and clever, and be capable of telling jokes - but are they talking about their favorite TV shows, or a particular brand of shampoo?
It's not listed in the Bible, but my spiritual gift, my specific calling from God, is to be a television talk-show host.
The first audition I went out on was because my father was on an audition for a TV show called the 'Gilmore Girls,' and that kind of snowballed a lot of stuff in my life.
I've been watching RFD-TV for a few years. As a person who lives mostly in the country, I appreciate a network that shows the many facets of rural life.
'Fringe' is one of my favorite television shows, from its inception. I absolutely love all of the science fiction of it, the mystery of it, and the science in it.
It seems that whatever we do is somehow beyond reproach - murder, rape, drunk driving - as long as we go on a TV show and apologize.
The average person in Hollywood just assumes that if you're on a hit TV show, then that's the first thing you've ever done.
I just remember the early days of Tenacious D. There was no talk or thought about doing a TV show or a movie.
To do a television show, one can be sort of spoiled. You get to have your own trailer, your own space - that sort of thing.
Sometimes when I watch a TV season, your favorite shows die quickly. And then sometimes it's not your favorite, and they live on for 12 years.
I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.
