"If you just sit around and wait for the phone to ring, you'll get nowhere."

Person

Norman Lear

"Flying across country [one] night I remember looking down and thinking, 'hey, it's just possible, wherever I see a light, I've helped to make somebody laugh.'"

Person

Suzanne Somers

"I knew what Chrissy Snow would and would not do. She'd never tell a lie.  She'd never steal anybody's boyfriend.  Everything was always absolutely honest with her.  And I think that's what endeared her to the public."

Person

Ted Bergmann

"Just being in on the start of television, that was the luckiest break I ever had in my life. Even though it was DuMont, it was still television in all its forms and facets and I was able to polish them and learn about them and be equipped to handle any kind of show." 

Person

Frederick S. Pierce
"We had a number of successful shows, established a terrific base, built a full-fledged network that was profitable. But nothing is forever. The very definition of television is it's here today and it's gone tomorrow and it just leaves its memories. Or it shows up on TV Land as a rerun."
Person

Edgar J. Scherick
"I always tell everybody I'm a storyteller, that's what I do for a living. I tell stories. I spin tales."
Person

Douglas S. Cramer

"I loved what television was - the cat fights on 'Dynasty,' Archie Bunker yelling at his wife, Noel Coward and Mary Martin singing, and Dinah Shore or some of those great 'Carol Burnett Shows.' We don't have that anymore. On the good nights, we'd have 30 to 40 million people. There'd be disaster at the network if we had 20 million. You look at shows now, they get a million viewers and they think they're a hit. Something went wrong along the way."
