People often ask me about what constitutes a nerd-friendly show - like, does it have to have sci-fi elements? But I think it's just a show that satisfies the secret craving we all have to be obsessed with something and not feel at all stupid about it.
From Dan Harmon
If your ratings are high and there's money being made, you're allowed to be a perfectionist in television.
The public's perception of your show is what it is, and you don't get to complain how people perceive your show or talk about it.
I wish that television would stop selling our hatred of ourselves, and start seducing us with our love of ourselves.
Class clowns are never allowed to date anybody decent, but you don't get beaten up, you're invited to parties, and everybody likes you.
I don't really have a lot of appropriate feelings for people on an individual basis, but I've always wanted to make people happy.
I feel like my life has always been the 'Hey Look at Me Show.' I'm not apologetic about that.
I've never done well when I've been appreciated. I've done best when I'm targeted for death.
I am a collaborator with everyone who agrees that I need to be in control. I happily collaborate with my loyalists.
When you watch the sitcoms that were the big hits when I was growing up, TV was still just TV. It was allowed to just be TV. There were three channels that were competing for the whole family and you couldn't take your business elsewhere.
