'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the most fun I ever had and the most creative period of my life.

As a kid I watched television 24 hours a day and loved every minute of it. The two shows that always make me laugh and are therefore my favourites are The Dick Van Dyke Show and Fawlty Towers.

'Mary Poppins' was one of the best experiences of my life.

When I was a young kid, the best stuff on television was always the BBC period dramas - it was what we sat down as a family to watch and what people talked about and looked forward to.

'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was a huge influence on me as a kid. It looked like a really fun job.

Emotionally, shows like 'Cheers' and 'Taxi' were classic sitcoms when I was growing up.

All of us involved say 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the best five years of our lives. We were like otters at play.

'Northern Exposure.' I loved that show; I loved the way it was able to have episodes where somebody finds a woolly mammoth, he calls the museum in New York, they send a guy out, and the mammoth's gone because someone ate it. To me, that was everything I ever wanted to do. That show mixed emotion, humor and the surreal all at once.

'Star Trek' was a big thing for me. I kind of grew up with that. And 'Twilight Zone' is one of my all-time favorite shows. In fact me and Sam Witwer from 'Being Human' sit down and have marathons to get our little 'Twilight Zone' fix.

When I was growing up my favorite show was 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show', and I loved all the stuff that Norman Lear did.
