All [tv] shows are like cigarettes. You watch two, you have a higher chance of watching three. They're all addictive.

More quotes by Dan Harmon
If somebody's cat happens to turn on the TV, my numbers can double. It's almost unrelated to what's really happening.
Dan Harmon
With media, it's never bad-to-good. It's always just moving from different to different. Faster, more stuff, but there's always good, more good, and more bad.
Dan Harmon
Whereas the health of an individual depends on the ego's regular descent and return to and from the unconscious, a society's longevity depends on actual people journeying into the unknown and returning with ideas.
Dan Harmon
Once upon a time, something happened, and it was better than something not happening. The end.
Dan Harmon
I feel like my life has always been the 'Hey Look at Me Show.' I'm not apologetic about that.
Dan Harmon
There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.
Dan Harmon
I was playing the game where I was going to be a great TV or film writer some day and there was nothing else that I thought about, including other people.
Dan Harmon
I love 30 Rock. It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
Dan Harmon
It's so difficult to write good music. It's also really difficult to think about how to do it without violating the sanctity of the fourth wall.
Dan Harmon
Good writers hate bad writing but hating bad writing doesn’t make you good. Writing badly does.
Dan Harmon
I've discovered a new video game called owning my home.
Dan Harmon
I walk with God, and He protects me. That may very well be true. I don't mean to make that sound like a joke, in case He is in charge.
Dan Harmon
TV tends to be like, if you're lucky, it's like Las Vegas. You can't get out. There's always another pitch meeting. They keep you on the casino floor. If I'm unlucky, if I'm lucky enough to be unlucky, I would love to write a movie.
Dan Harmon
Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.
Dan Harmon
I grew up on network sitcoms. If those are gone when I'm 65 years old, I would never forgive myself for not stepping up to that plate, as often as possible. I'm already bummed out that DVDs are dying off because, in my 20s, those were a huge thing.
Dan Harmon
Everything I do, in the middle of it, I lose all objectivity. The business of comedy is kind of ridiculous in that respect. Your job is to have a lot of fun in a jar, then sell it. There's something inherently illogical and impossible about that, but that being said, this is as good as it gets.
Dan Harmon
None of us are bad people. We float around and we run across each other and we learn about ourselves, and we make mistakes and we do great things. We hurt others, we hurt ourselves, we make others happy and we please ourselves. We can and should forgive ourselves and each other for that.
Dan Harmon
Technology changes the medium. I grew up on watching a box in my living room that made my parents happy. After something is gone, the dust will settle and I'll see what's next.
Dan Harmon
You don’t give someone notes on their performance at a soup kitchen.

The concept of doing holiday episodes is a huge part of what's fantastic about doing TV. And viewers agree you see the numbers going up for holiday episodes.
