Networks don't want a show with a continuing story. There's no backend potential.
The business is built on slowing or even stopping the aging process.
What I would have liked to do on that show was play a secretary of state who has huge personal business interests throughout the world. That, to me, seems to be more in synch with reality.
It worked well because Don Murray didn't want to be on Knots anymore.
There's a certain possessiveness of writers sometimes.
When you go to a movie, it's about what's not being said. I tried to bring that to Greg Sumner. It was always about what's not being said.
