“One of the things that I learned in television, and one of the beauties of television, is that, if you have a strong writing staff, they rely on you just as much as you rely on them.

“This is not about the aesthetics: there is a rule in a society: "Whoever you deal with, makes you become them", therefore watching the efforts of para-athletes can bring the temporary mobility disorder. If we want humanity to develop, the television should show us people who are healthy, beautiful, strong, honest and wise - not perverts, murderers, weaklings, losers, idiots or invalids.” PeopleIfsWantShouldShowsBeautifulHumanityStrongDealsEffortWiseHonestTelevisionHealthyAthleteIdiotTemporaryLoserDisorderMurdererAestheticsMobility Author:Janusz Korwin-Mikke
“In episodic television you'll have a good guy who's on every week and that's his show! He's the regular on it, and you're not going to be "gooder" than he is; I mean, he's the guy who's got to solve your problem! So if you're playing a good guy, you have to have a problem, and he's going to solve it for you. And the only really strong dramatic part is the heavy, because the meaner and crueler and rottener you are, the better the good guy looks when he whips ya' at the end because he always is gonna whip ya! So, the best dramatic guest shot is the heavy.” IfsLooksMeanEndsShowsProblemGuyStrongWeekTelevisionShotsHeavySolveBe GoodDramaticGuestsWhipsGood Guy Author:Leslie Nielsen

“It takes a pretty strong person, a rather unusual young person, to stand up to ridicule and refuse to give in to temptation. There are so many things today in modern music, on television, and in the movies that portray a life that is nowhere near the life the Lord would have us live. Consequently, we cannot afford to turn to the radio, television, or Hollywood to take our cues about what is right and what is wrong. It is scary to realize that the more we are exposed to Hollywood's version of life, the more we gradually begin to accept it.” GivingPersonsTodayYoungTurnsStrongRealizingAcceptingLordModernTelevisionHollywoodRadioRefuseScaryVersionsTemptationUnusualExposedRidiculeStrong PersonModern Music Author:Robert L.
