There's a million leading men on TV today that are perfectly great, and their jobs are fantastic. But it's not as interesting to me when every fight they win, every case they solve, every girl they get.
One of the major complaints for long-running shows is that they become mundane.
There was a whole slew of 'Cops and Robbersons,' just films that didn't measure up, that didn't stand for anything comedically. They were purely for a paycheck.
In the '80s, all the movies became predictable.
Generally, screenplays suck.
I enjoy 'Murphy Brown,' but I am shocked that people really like 'Married... With Children.' These shows are toilet humor, and none of them have good characters.
Animation has been ghettoized through the years by giving the impression we only do the same kind of stories.
One of the most common criticisms of romance is that the genre is too prescribed: If every romance novel ends happily ever after, don't the stories lack complexity? Don't the readers get bored?
I go to the movies a lot, and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like, to find them offering no more surprises.
My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.
Most screenplays I receive are boring, and some are straight-out bad.
I don't find anything interesting about the choices a character faces in major films or theater projects. The characters are just cut-out dolls with the American flag sewn on them.
