| | Christiane Amanpour |  | If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do? |
| | Bea Arthur | | So what does it all mean? You become a popular TV personality. Fifteen million viewers weekly. Top ratings. |
| | Peter Alfano | | One almost expects one of the players to peer into the monitor and politely request viewers to refrain from munching so loudly on cheese and crackers while the golfers are trying to read the greens. |
| | Johnny Ball | | We were always told that the first rule in children's programmes is to talk through the camera to get a connection with the viewers. But in shows like Blue Peter, they talk to each other as though the kids are not there so it feels like you are looking in through the window at someone else's party. |
| | Bob Barker | | Networks decide who will have a chance to do shows, but it is the viewers who make the final decision of who stays and who goes. I am very fortunate, in that the television viewers of our country have decided that Bob Barker can stay. |
| | Bob Barker | | You can't fool television viewers with dancing girls and flashing lights. |
| | Bill Bixby | | Do you realize if one-tenth of one-percent write out of possibly 40 million viewers - 40,000 write - the weight that would carry? Is that too much to ask - that one tenth of one per cent be attentive to what they see? To take control of their own lives? Or do they want to remain children and give that control away? |
| | Bill Bixby | | Viewers can't expect TV to keep developing unless they make their wants known. And let's face it. The best way to make your wants known in this world is by 'beefing'. |
| | Don Bluth | | As you follow the escapades or the journey of the hero through a story, it evokes some kind of emotion in the viewers. The director's job is to make sure that the audience goes through the journey and has an emotional reaction. |
| | Les Brown | | When a show fails to destroy the competition-and it can fail while attracting 20 million viewers-it is itself destroyed. |
