"The idea of Bob Newhart being a listener, I think was the genius of 'The Bob Newhart Show.' A psychologist is by definition a listener. And if you go back in Bob's early material, he was always a listener, a looker, a reactor."

"Me and Larry Hagman on 'Jeannie' - we're doing Bob Hope and Bing Crosby." 

Person

Suzanne Pleshette
"We're losing manners. We're losing style. We're losing kindness. A lot of it is happening as a result of the television we're doing and the characters we're willing to play that reflect a piece of human nature. But it's done over and over because it gets laughs or because it's dramatically interesting. What's the actor's obligation to make the world a better place?"

Tom Poston

"I did the 'Steve Allen Show' playing a bloke who couldn't remember his own name. The next day, the nation knew of my work. Guys in cabs would drive by and see me and yell, 'Hey, hey, dummy!' So that's how powerful 'The Steve Allen Show' was as far as recognition was concerned."

"I wish I could do what writers of my generation do which is just - open the gate and let it come out. I envy them. It's hard for me to do. That's why I liked writing for television because I had to do something every day... So the best secret is and it's not a secret is just -- when [you] get stuck in a scene, write nonsense. But do something to keep your hand moving, doing something on the page. That's all. There are no great insights."

Barry Kemp
"If you love the process of writing and rewriting and you look at every script as a puzzle, each character having complexities, and you write with the idea of how to best bring those out to solve the puzzle, that's the fun of it. Once the puzzle is solved, everything else after it doesn't matter. I never watch anything I've done after it's over because that wasn't the reason that I did it. What I love is other people watching it and responding to it."
