I love 30 Rock. It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
Dan Harmon
Good writers hate bad writing but hating bad writing doesn’t make you good. Writing badly does.
Dan Harmon
Once upon a time, something happened, and it was better than something not happening. The end.
Dan Harmon
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.
Dan Harmon
Storytelling comes naturally to humans, but since we live in an unnatural world, we sometimes need a little help doing what we'd naturally do.
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
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
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
All [tv] shows are like cigarettes. You watch two, you have a higher chance of watching three. They're all addictive.
Dan Harmon
The most rewarding part of writing for TV is - a year ago I would have said it's just watching it on TV, it's just having been done with it and then collecting all that energy.
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
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
Everyone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.
Dan Harmon
I think thoughts in my head bounce around in my skull and, if they keep bouncing around in my skull, they get worse and worse. When they come out of my mouth, they make people happy.
Dan Harmon
Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.
Dan Harmon
There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.
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
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
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
I was raised on NBC television.
