Networks are reluctant to take a chance. They put on shows that they know will work on some level, but to get the innovative show, it's very difficult.

I think that network TV is going to either have to reinvent itself or it's going to have to be more competitive - there are just so many options now with streaming and everything.

I wish we could get a national buddy network going. It would be a great thing for the American people.

I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.

I don't know when network executives will get out of the Dark Ages.

For me, I'm happy to succeed on any network.

The social network will be the new production line.

The internet population is going up and up. I am confident that this will be a huge market.

I feel like if we can use the combination of basically data-driven hunches and bet on really first-class talent to deliver the shows, that I think we could do as well as the networks do, who basically have a 75 to 80 percent failure rate for new shows anyway - even after all that development and pilot work.

With 500 channels and the Internet available, you'd think a candidate could get the word out.
