Clint Eastwood is aging beautifully. But someone like Burt Reynolds and others are practically destroying their faces in the amount of work they have.

I try to watch only real things, which basically amounts to C-Span for me. I like real people in real situations. I learn from that.

A show like Knots or any other show that can be called a soap opera does terribly in syndication because if you're a viewer and you miss a week you don't know what's going on.

Even though shows like NYPD Blue are soaps in my opinion, but they're individualized to an extent that you can still follow what's going on if you miss a week.

Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest.

Networks don't want a show with a continuing story. There's no backend potential.

It worked well because Don Murray didn't want to be on Knots anymore.
