I actually don't watch much TV, but my goal is to watch 'Downton Abbey.' I want to catch up on the series... that's like my style.

— Kelly Rutherford

I'm probably going to get in trouble for this but 'American Dad' is one of my favourite shows. It gets very dark in places but the jokes are there.

I was a little bit ashamed of American TV because I thought, 'None of the shows my father works on are as funny as my father.'

— Joss Whedon

I have a weird sense of humour. My dad's the same. We love watching 'Monty Python' together.

— Miranda Kerr

Although my dad's a writer, we grew up in a telly-watching household. I never found him disparaging about television.

— Louis Theroux

If you're an English actor, and you're asked to do an episode - especially the Christmas episode - of 'Downton Abbey,' you can't turn it down. It's like, 'Of course!'

✗Opposing Perspectives

We're all comedy fans in my family. My parents mainly wouldn't let me watch stuff that was either annoying to them, or just garbage. My dad wouldn't let us watch 'The Flintstones' if he was home, because he said it was a rip-off of 'The Honeymooners'. But he would let us stay up really late in the summer and watch old 'Honeymooners'.

— Tina Fey

I don't really watch TV. I've got the box set of 'Downton Abbey,' which I'm enjoying.

— Sidse Babett Knudsen

At NBC I wasn't really sure if the grandparents were going to get my sense of humor on a particular topic.
