'Rescue From Gilligan's Island' was the first of the so-called reunion shows on the networks, getting a 54 share. With numbers like that, everybody else started to have reunion shows.
The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.
The reason for the survival of the award system is purely commercial.
I've got a lot of shows under my belt that are ancient history solely because they were on the air before this video revolution came along and ensured that canceled shows could continue to have a bit of a presence.

I deserved the National Award for 'Border,' but got it for 'Refugee.'
I grew up with the movies of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire and Judy Garland - these are the kinds of shows and the kinds of numbers in shows that I dreamed of being in and doing when I was a kid.
I handle screenings and award ceremonies really badly.
I love watching reality shows - I'm up to date with 'America's Next Top Model' and I love 'Project Runway.' But the shows where they're just sitting in a house aren't as fun to me!
I want to be part of real reality shows, but don't want to do shows where I am told to give more points to one candidate because he/she is from a particular state. We have to judge by merit.
When I am not recording, I do live shows or am at home catching up on shows which I regularly watch. But there will always be some music around me.
I won the John Mackey Award, so I did something right.
I was in the fashion shows in Milan; I was seventeen, I was doing like 100 shows. People were asking, 'How does it feel to be the model of the moment?' It was hard for me to answer as myself. I barely spoke English.
Obviously it was an out of body experience to win an Academy Award.
There's a thrill in flying by the seat of your pants - trousers, actually: 'pants' in English means underwear - because most shows don't operate that way. Network shows are repetitive.
I'm an avid watcher of the Nat Geo channel, where I watch shows about how the planets are formed, and shows about moons, quasars, black holes.
Believe me, I don't take that lightly. To have struck gold twice with 'Rent' and 'Wicked.' I know it's rare and I'm very lucky to have that kind of phenomenon in my life. They're not just great shows, they're shows that resonate with young audiences.
The way you speak of the characters in your story shows what you think of the values of conservatives‚ or evolution, for example. It shows where your moral center is. So you are in the message business whether you like it or not.
I love my role in 'Deshamuduru' but I did not get any award.
I didn't realise that Ridley Scott has never won an Academy Award.
I'd love to do Broadway or the West End. I'm sure doing eight shows a week is gruelling, but I did a lot of stage shows in Sydney and I love performing live.
I have not hung a single award on my walls, including the Padma Shri.
I know one thing; I'll never win an Academy Award.
I am honored to be receiving the Point Courage Award.
I won an ASCAP award two years in a row - that was sick.
I don't like going out or attending award ceremonies.
I don't want to do many panel shows. I'm a comic actor, not a comedian. There would be something wrong in Steve Coogan or Julia Davis doing panel shows all the time.
I got nominated for an Academy Award(R) for writing 'Borat.'
An Academy Award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.
Getting to the playoffs is more important than winning an award.
I can shoot off my big mouth and write my shows and run my shows, and I can recognize how lucky I am because my position is rare and my position is privileged.
If we can ape other shows or even start Indian versions of international series by taking their franchise, why can't we take our shows to an international level?
Most shows, buying shows, have a standard fee for the first shot of the writer and if you have a very militant agent, I suppose he might jack it up four percent or something. But in essence, you sell for what is the going rate.
I've done shows with one leg; I've done three shows in a row, blown-out back.
I only want to do live shows. What happens with TV shows is you can't always do things live.
I won this award for keeping my mouth shut, so I think I'll do it again now.
I feel these shows allow you to be yourself, this is why I like to be part of them. Also, reality shows have a much bigger reach and provide a bigger platform for an actor.
I don't know why people feel popular actors avoid doing mytho shows. Aren't they also doing good? Sometimes such shows give you more fame.
In Sweden, they broadcast the American shows in English with Swedish subtitles, whereas in many European countries they dub them. Watching those shows in English was big for me.
But I'm able to just keep going, and that's the challenge. It's the next song. And then just enjoying the shows and people who come out to the shows. It's pretty organic, really.
To even be considered for an MVP award is fairly awesome for me.
I'm not a huge award type person, that's not really what lights my fire.
A 'GQ' award is kind of, like, insane. It's a huge thing.
I would never win an award for not loving pizza.
Usually, people think that award movies are hard to break.
I never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.
Im always trying to improve my skills as an actor. I think it shows in El Gringo; it shows in the new Universal Soldier. You cant rest on your laurels; youve got to keep improving.
I thought of making a film with an animal. But many movies have already come with the same idea. On the other hand, what I have observed is, when children watch cartoon shows, they usually get excited with the presence of pigs or piglets in those shows.
I got the Margaret Sanger award. I was kissed by President Obama.
If you have won a national award, it means you have done something great.
My earlier award was also based on a close collaborative effort.
I can do four shows in a row singing no problem. Four shows in a row stand up, my voice is destroyed. I'm a storyteller so I act out a lot of characters and I act out a lot of situations and I'm distorting my voice and imitating characters I run into. I'm actually more exhausted doing that than I am with the rock shows, believe it or not.
Shows in the '70s and '80s were a lot more provocative. Shows that are coming out now - like 'Black-Ish,' 'The Carmichael Show' - are showcasing people of color in a new way. It's not stereotypical.
I get asked to do stupid things like panel shows and talk shows and things.
For me to get an award from the press, I know there's been no favoritism.
I'd rather win a pennant than an Academy Award.

I liked getting the best villain award. I thought that was funny.
We live in a time of the greatest precision and of maximum contrasts: photomontage offers us a means to express this. It shows ideas: photography shows us objects.
I have got the most loyal, hardcore fans that there are. I could do 10 shows, a hundred shows or 30. I am the most blessed guy on the block. They're gonna be there, and it amazes me.
