“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. If a disproportionate number of any show's viewers watch in alternative ways, then, under the current system, that show may not appear to be as strong as it actually is.” PeopleIfsWayWantMayIdeasShowsSeemsStrongNumbersWatchesWeekModernRight NowCurrentsProducersAlternativesNo IdeaPlatformsViewersModern Family Author:Steven Levitan
“In the case of 'The Housewives,' I call the 'Housewives' sociology of the rich. I think it's just fun to watch. It's guilt-free gossiping that you can have.

“The life of a thinking man will probably be divided into two parts -- the first in which he desires to exterminate modern thinkers, and the second in which he desires to watch them exterminating each other. ... Suppose, for instance, there is an old story and a new skeptic who is skeptical of the story. We have only to wait a little while for a yet newer skeptic who is skeptical of the skeptic. He will probably find the old notion actually a help in his new notion. This process is an abstract truth applying to anything, apart from agreement or disagreement.” ThinkingMenFirstsLittlesTwoHelpingStoriesTruthDesireWaitingProcessWatchesModernNotionInstanceAbstractAgreementDividedThinkerSkepticalDisagreementSkepticThinking Man Author:Gilbert K.
