My parents weren't keen on me watching television when I was growing up, in the 70s and 80s, which is ironic given that I've ended up working in it.

Lucy Worsley

I'm a huge fan of television, and it's a really good time to be a fan of television, because there's so much good stuff out there. In every genre, really.

Jon Hamm

Television is making, there was in independent film renaissance late '80s through the mid-90's. It was an amazing time. Television is doing that right now. So that's why everybody wants to do it. I mean if you're writing stuff like, you know, Fargo, or True Detective, or any of these things that are on, Breaking Bad, there are no rules in television.

Billy Bob Thornton

I've been a baseball fan in the early part of my life, so through the '70s and the '80s, I was a huge fan. I actually followed the Dodgers back then, back in the Kirk Gibson years, Steve Garvey.

Robert Trujillo

I'm a huge fan of television, and the reason I'm a part of the world is because I'm a fan of it.

When I was coming up in the '80s television, if you were on television that meant either you were a young actor just coming up like I was, or you were an older actor whose career was over and you had to go on television.

Billy Bob Thornton

One of my favorite eras is the '80s. I'm an '80s baby to the world, love everything about the '80s.

Deon Cole

I'm a great admirer, fan and consumer of television. I love serial drama. I have been a major fan of HBO's series for many years.

Todd Haynes

'Family Ties,' to me, was strictly '80s. It was from the beginning of the '80s until the end of the '80s, and it was very specific to that time. Ronald Reagan was president.

Justine Bateman

I have spoken to many broadcasters about bringing poetry to television and they're usually not keen.

Frank Skinner

I am not a big fan of what I call 'ambient television,' which just washes through you in a very polite way. I like television that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go.

James Purefoy

I came up in the '80s and '90s - there was no engagement with the fan base.

Dante Basco

I'm a big fan of '80s music, for lack of a better word.

Tobias Forge

Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.

Wolfgang Puck

I watched some serious '80s television. 'Alice,' 'Good Times,' 'The Jeffersons,' 'Family Ties,' 'Cheers'... every night it was eat dinner, watch 'Cheers.' I was actually on 'Jeopardy' with Rebecca Lobo and Dot Richardson, and we were laughing because I was just nailing every random '80s trivia question - sitcom, theme music, movie, you name it.
