Innovation comes to you from creators who do have a vision and a passion, and that is how we succeeded.

I believe America wants and needs the shared experience of television. We far too often see in crises how television brings us together.

From Warren Littlefield

At the end of Season 1 of 'Cheers', it was the lowest rated show in all of network television... So we turn to 'Bill Cosby'; when he came to Thursday night, he just exploded. And once the audience was there, we said, 'Hey, by the way, we also have this other great show. It's called 'Cheers'.'

I fought to make a multiple series commitment with John Wells.

From Warren Littlefield

One way in which 'Friends' did resemble 'Seinfeld' is that it really found its audience over the summer of 1995 in reruns. That's when the main title song, 'I'll Be There for You', by the Rembrandts, exploded, too.

From Warren Littlefield

From Warren Littlefield

The writers and actors on 'Friends' were notoriously particular about what made it onto the air.

From Warren Littlefield

NBC's pilot season of 1994 is legendary in the business. In a world where failure is commonplace, we midwifed the birth of both 'Friends' and 'ER'. While 'ER' came essentially out of the blue, we'd been casting around for a 'Friends'-like show for some time at the network.

From Warren Littlefield

I was the network president. I thought I knew everything.
