Sometimes when I'm reading a script, I can't quite believe that this is going on television alongside cereal commercials.
Most 'reality' shows aren't reality at all. They're game shows with no prize. Like 'Rock of Love.' His aren't genuine feelings. Then again, Bob Barker didn't really care whether or not you won the toaster. Sorry to shatter everyone's dreams.
TV is all about hair. And then skin. And then clothing. And then it's about your voice. And finally the report, what you're actually saying. And 99 times out of 100, it never gets past the hair.
I have a bit of a problem with 'American Idol.' Forgive me, but it's difficult for me to watch. I can't help but think of people being exploited. On the other hand, I'm really enjoying 'Glee.'
Television is a device that permits people who haven't anything to do to watch people who can't do anything.
Usually, if I'm yelling at the TV, I'm in a bar. If I'm by myself, and it's not a game, I often find myself scolding reality stars that can't hear me through the television set.
I don't even own a TV because I think it's the devil.
I like 'X Factor' as much as the next person, but I do get overwhelmed with the amount of reality TV. It's such cheap programming and such a load of rubbish, most of it.
I don't consider myself a political comedian because it's so hard. It takes time away from me saying terrible things about TV.
TV news is not very instructive.
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
I'm not a fan of reality TV.
There's no conversation more boring than talking about what it's really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don't care.
I think TV is all about caring, and if you don't care about a character in a drama or a person when they get voted out of a reality show, it's bad TV. I wouldn't care if you dropped a bomb on the 'Big Brother' house.
I've read some criticism of 'The Good Doctor' that says it's overly sweet and syrupy. I'll take that criticism, given the world that we live in. I'd much rather be on that side of the equation than the opposite.
I'm completely done with reality TV.
They call television a medium because nothing's well done.
I've had it-the agencies, the winking, the networks, the ratings. Anyone who thinks TV is an art medium is crazy-it's an advertising medium.
We're all watching each other, so there's no chance for censorship. The main problem is the idiot TV. If you watch local news, your head will turn to mush.
I'm in my 10th generation of TV critic now.
TV is a wasteland. It's a bunch of news actors that read off a prompter.
'I'm a Celebrity' is not my cup of tea whatsoever. I don't like the animal cruelty in it, to be honest.
Criticism is nonsense. TV shows and newspapers just want to fill the space.
I believe that reality TV should be called 'not reality' TV; it's fiction.
I had the idea for the show like a year and a half, two years ago. And it was all about the things that I didn't like about TV. I was trying to create a positive solution for it. And it actually worked.
