Plan for each episode to be a satisfying experience, but still leave the audience thinking, 'Oh, my God! Now what?'

A lot of guys I know loved 'Sex and the City.' They'll take it to their grave, but they watched every episode of it.

Having the games on TV, I've always believed it's like watching a soap opera - fans can't wait for the next episode.

We had great comic mileage in the 'SG-1' episode 'The Swarm,' where Woolsey is running away faster than anybody else.

I did an episode of 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' with Jeff Goldblum, which was fun because I've known him for years.

It's tricky to do a serialized show and not lose viewers along the way because you really have to watch every episode.

It's crazy. Even doing that one episode of 'Catfish,' I get people recognizing me for it who didn't even know my music.

A lot of us saw Blackadder in terms of problem-solving - 'Did that work in that episode?' and so on. We were very picky.

You could go to Estonia and there's probably an episode of 'Seinfeld' playing there. Television is a very powerful thing.

I believe that 99 percent of successful TV shows change an immense amount from the pilot to the tenth or twelfth episode.

By early 1971, I had been acting professionally for 18 months - theatre work and my first telly, an episode of 'Dr. Who.'

Directing a television episode is no joke, and it's incredibly difficult and especially when you're acting in it as well.

Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.

I was doing 'Homeland' and read the first two episodes, and all I wanted was episode three to know what would happen next.

The 3,000th episode is a great milestone for 'Hollyoaks,' so it was just really nice and a big honour to play a part in it.

I really enjoy getting to go and play on other people's shows for an episode or two. It adds such variety to my repertoire.

In TV, you may think your character's one thing for two episodes, and then the third episode it could be something different.

Most sitcoms and cartoons, especially, you can rely on, because they go back to square one at the beginning of every episode.

I hardly ever watch TV and when I do it's sports. I'll occasionally stick on some old episode of 'Fawlty Towers' or something.

When you're making a television show, it's about the story and arc of the show rather than any particular episode or director.

Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver foil, and talking like computers, like a bad episode of Star Trek?

There are not that many jobs as an actor where you don't get to know what your character will be doing from episode to episode.

The actor's dream is to come in knowing that you're only supposed to do one episode and then come back because people liked it.

You have to be careful what you say in front of comedy writers because they will absolutely make fun of it in the next episode.

With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.

Nobody bothered to ask me how I was doing when my livelihood was snatched away after the 'Horn Ok Pleassss' harassment episode.

I didn't get paid to write professionally until my first episode of 'Kyle XY,' which was the fourth episode of the first season.

I was sober for, like, a year and a half, and I was 25, and I actually did have a manic episode, and I was diagnosed as bipolar.

It's been such a nice journey doing 'When Calls the Heart' from Episode 1 to Episode 12. It's been a really, really nice journey.

If you look closely at 'Breaking Bad' and any given episode of 'The X Files,' you will realise the structure is exactly the same.

I did an episode of 'Law & Order,' where I literally didn't move my neck because I thought you couldn't move your head on camera.

We live in an era now where every episode is reviewed 80 different times on the Internet by periodicals you've never even heard of.

I need to have something else going on. I'm able to write a lot if I have an episode of 'Friday Night Lights' going on my computer.

I'm a sucker for two things: Adam Lambert and songs that start out as emo as a sad episode of 'Felicity' and then drop. That. Beat.

Lesli Glatter directed an episode of 'Mad Men' and then came in to direct an episode of 'House.' And she didn't recognize me at all.

The key to any good comic strip or television sitcom is to reset the board at the end of the episode because people like familiarity.

There are so many factors that go into directing. It's honestly a logistical nightmare for a lead to direct themselves in an episode.

It's funny. I did give birth to an alien on 'The X-Files.' And it's just the teaser, so I'm dead before we even get into the episode.

Most people I run into say, I haven't missed an episode. Either you like Survivor or you don't, but if you do, you're a loyal viewer.

I had an unhealthy obsession with 'Only Fools and Horses.' I still have to watch an episode with my brother every two or three weeks.

I did a network show in the U.S. before, and I loved it, but you have eight days to shoot an episode, and it's just a ridiculous pace.

I saw the pilot, you know, because you have to have some knowledge of the piece that you are in, but I never saw an episode of 'Lost.'

'Leverage' is meant to be based in Boston. But in one episode we're in New York, then another in Chicago, Florida, and Eastern Europe.

Life is wonderful beautiful journey. Every episode of my life is like a dream, and I am at peace and happy with what life has given me.

I just remember watching 'Brass Eye' and being so utterly blown away by the scope of it and how much it managed to cram into an episode.

There wasn't an episode of 'Will & Grace' that didn't begin with my voice saying, 'Will & Grace' is taped before a live studio audience.

I think your average fan probably just assumes that the same person directs every episode of their favorite series, week in and week out.

Many people don't know our famous 'soup kitchen' episode on Seinfeld was inspired by an actual soup restaurant off 8th Avenue in New York.

I am a late discoverer of 'Friday Night Lights.' I cry every episode at least once. I love to cry - happy, emotional tears. I just love it.

My first inspiration for acting came from the first episode of 'Hannah Montana.' That's when I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actress.
