The bottom line is people came back to television in a very normal way.

This basically challenges the perception out there that people are abandoning television or going to the Internet or doing other things and taking away from television viewing activity, ... The pervasiveness of the medium is not being eroded.

Last year was a very strong network television year. 'Desperate Housewives' was the next show in a succession of hot, talked-about, pervasive network television programs.

There is nothing in that mix that will devalue the value of network television. In fact, I think it will be exactly the opposite.

You know, it is a terrible thing to appear on television, because people think that you actually know what you're talking about.

The average regular viewer watches about half the episodes of series, but with serialized dramas, it can be as high as 70%. When you get one that's successful, you're going to get people there every week.
