'The Brady Bunch' asks nothing of you as a viewer. Sometimes is just what the doctor ordered.

With any half-hour comedy, it kind of takes on its own life and finds itself.

I tend to lean more towards the Westerns of the 40s and 50s as opposed to the 60s and 70s. They get a little too drab for me when you get into the Spaghetti Western era. I love the John Ford movies. I love the music. I love the scope.

If something is shocking without being funny it's hard to justify.

Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day.

Even if you know a character really well, there's no formula for what jokes will work and what won't.

I hate people who say 'Just to play devil's advocate.'
