“I taped my first series for PBS in 1982 at WJCT-TV in Jacksonville, Florida.

“The noise you hear after people see something you do - whether it's a TV show or a movie - that always makes you see that thing slightly differently. Without question. The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of. And test-screening a movie can be helpful too. But the part that can be dangerous is when you take those notes as gospel, instead of taking them with a grain of salt. The key is to use the response as one of the tools in your box, as opposed to using it to determine what you do.” PeopleUseShowsAbilityDangerousTelevisionTvsKeysAdvantageToolsTestsSeriesNotesResponseDetermineBoxesNoiseHelpfulSaltGrainTv ShowsAdjustmentScreeningGrain Of Salt Author:J.

“I think that by now, in the very beginning when I first joined the show, General Landry was like a new kid in school. I was coming into a situation I didn't really know much about, and now, after a couple of years, the character's kind of mellowed and gotten comfortable working at the command center and very comfortable with his troops. What they always do with these shows is they always leave them open-ended. The SG-1 franchise has been so successful for the network, that they always want to keep it open, an option to do it again in some way, whether that's a movie or a series, or whatever.” ThinkingKnowsWayWantYearsFirstsKindHas BeensCharacterShowsKidsSchoolSituationSuccessfulCoupleComfortableSeriesCommandTroops Author:Beau Bridges
