If you don't take your clothes seriously, why should your viewers take you seriously?
But Steven Bochco was smart; he knew that viewers were smart.
I like movies that instill passion in the viewer. I like movies that can teach us about who we are as people.

Most people I run into say, I haven't missed an episode. Either you like Survivor or you don't, but if you do, you're a loyal viewer.
I write for somebody who has my own limitations. My reader has a certain difficulty with concentrating, which in my case comes from being a film viewer.
Technology has changed, and we need to figure out how to improve the archaic way of what makes a hit, or how to determine how many viewers are watching beyond some people with Nielsen boxes in a small percentage of homes in random areas.
Series finales have that responsibility to leave you feeling good about entire series. You want to feel like the viewer closes the book satisfied. And if you strike out on the finale it skews how you feel about the entire series.

I'm one of the highest-paid television people in the world. I feel like I've made a difference in my viewers' lives, that I've been influential.
I find as a viewer, when I go to see comedies, the strain to be funny throughout the whole thing. I start to lose my sense of reality, and it ends up feeling like an empty experience; there's funny stuff in it but I've lost the emotional connection to the characters because it's just so bananas.

Right now the producers of 'Modern Family' have no idea how many people watch our show each week on all platforms, and nobody seems to want to tell us.

The difference between a regular camera and a 3D camera, for an actor, is really no different except that the turn-arounds are longer.
