Television is much more collaborative in many ways than prose.
‐‐ Ann Cleeves
Television is much more complex, brain-challenging and involved than it used to be. It's almost impossible to watch a television show from 15 years ago; it's just too boring. I think modern television shows, with their intricate plots, are stimulating our minds. This is one reason IQs have been going up.
‐‐ Alex Tabarrok
Television is much more difficult because at every moment the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You're in a constant debate with a gun at your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it's hard to win the arguments.
‐‐ Judd Apatow
Television is much more of a producer's writer's medium, so a lot of the time, when you're directing a television show, they have a color palette on set or a visual style and dynamic that's already been predetermined, and you just kind of have to follow the rules.
‐‐ Jason Bateman
Television is not like making records. I wanna tell all you kids, do not try this at home, 'cause it's hard. It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of practice, and a lot of different takes.

Television is not the exclusive target of promoters. Is Superman really worthy of a Newsweek cover?
‐‐ Phil Donahue
Television is not vulgar because people are vulgar; it is vulgar because people are similar in their prurient interests and sharply differentiated in their civilized concerns.
‐‐ George Gilder
Television is now so desperately hungry for material that they're scraping the top of the barrel.
‐‐ Gore Vidal
Television is now the dominant factor in the lives of too many American children.
‐‐ Paul Weyrich
Television is populated with commitment-phobes.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
Television is simply automated daydreaming.
‐‐ Lee Loevinger
Television is so dictated by time constraints that you have to make quick decisions and go with them.
‐‐ Ted Shackelford
Television is so influential that when an audience sees you day-in and day-out there's a certain acceptance that sets in; you're no longer a threatening personality. They become more willing to accept whatever you present.
‐‐ Doc Severinsen
Television is something the Russians invented to destroy American education.
‐‐ Paul Erdos
Television is such a mediocre medium.
‐‐ Elizabeth Montgomery
Television is such an evolving medium.
‐‐ Chris Pratt
Television is such an evolving medium. When you're doing a TV show, it's not like you just shoot for six weeks and you're in an editing room with all of your footage. It's like a guitar or a car, you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what's not working, you work on what is working and you add things that do work.
‐‐ Chris Pratt
Television is the first truly democratic culture - the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want.
‐‐ Clive Barnes
Television is the medium that's allowing women's stories to flourish.
‐‐ Elizabeth Debicki
Television is the most interesting hobby I've ever had.
‐‐ Kevin O'Leary
Television is the most perfect democracy. You sit there with your remote control and vote.
‐‐ Aaron Brown
Television is the original social network. Consumers love great television, but they also love talking about television. Sharing with friends the thrill of the last episode, debating what will happen next, working to enlist friends to watch the same shows that you love.
‐‐ Michael K. Powell
Television is the triumph of machine over people.
‐‐ Fred Allen
Television is ultimately a business of failure. You try a lot of things, and most of it fails.
‐‐ Greg Berlanti
Television is what it's always been. The best of times and the worst of times at the same time.
‐‐ Gary David Goldberg
Television is what made It's a Wonderful Life the classic it is today.
‐‐ Leonard Maltin
Television is where the best work for women is right now. I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
‐‐ Julie Bowen
Television is where the great movies that used to exist have gone.
‐‐ Martin Freeman
Television isn't inherently good or bad. You go to a bookstore, there are how many thousands of books, but how many of those do you want? Five? Television's the same way. If you're going to show people stuff, television is the way to go. Words and pictures show things.
‐‐ Bill Nye
Television isn't my career. Business is.
‐‐ Fran Tarkenton
Television? It's a gateway to writer's block, isn't it?
‐‐ Alex Turner
Television itself is an intimate medium. It's in your house. You're visiting with these people... Not everybody's going to like it, just like not everybody likes everybody on the playground. I mean, that's life - especially if your job is to just go out there and be yourself.
‐‐ Rachael Ray
Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things.
‐‐ Jean Baudrillard
Television lets audiences deeply connect with characters.
‐‐ Claire Danes
Television made a lot of difference in country music. It's progress. I believe in progress.
‐‐ Roy Acuff
Television makes so much at its worst that it can't afford to do its best.
‐‐ Fred W. Friendly
Television moves fast, and you don't have the indulgences you have when you're shooting movies of so many takes because there are tight deadlines.
‐‐ Dev Patel
Television networks are a lot like automobile manufacturers or anyone else who's in commerce. If something out there catches on with the public... I guess you can call it 'market research.'
‐‐ Glen A. Larson
Television news is a delicate balance of serving public good and private gain.
‐‐ Jessica Savitch
Television news is like a lightning flash. It makes a loud noise, lights up everything around it, leaves everything else in darkness and then is suddenly gone.
‐‐ Hodding Carter
Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
‐‐ James Taylor
Television news was expanding to an hour, and producers did not know how to fill the space and time.
‐‐ Joel Siegel
Television offers a range and scope, and a degree of creativity and daring, that the bottom-line, global-audience-obsessed, brand-driven movie industry just can't compete with.
‐‐ Graydon Carter
Television preachers extract money from the poor to live in a style and to indulge in shameful acts which equal or outdo the worst of the Renaissance Popes.
‐‐ J. Irwin Miller
Television probably has become the most evocative, widely observed signpost we have.
‐‐ Robert Adams
Television programming is the number one topic on Twitter, and dozens of start-ups in the social space are linking second-screen experiences. People no longer need to sit on the same couch to enjoy a show together.
‐‐ Jay Samit
Television provides the opportunity for an ongoing story - the opportunity to meld the cast and the characters and a world, and to spend more time there.
‐‐ David Lynch
Television provokes strong opinions, and sometimes we try a bit too hard to appeal to everyone.
‐‐ Jo Brand
Television, radio, social media. The 24/7 news cycle plows forward mercilessly on our desks, in our cars and in our pockets. Thousands and thousands of messages and voices bombard us from the moment we wake, fighting for our attention. All we see and hear, all day long, is news. And most of it is bad.
‐‐ Joseph Prince
Television really does offer still great parts for women, cable in particular.
