John Lithgow

format_quote (About the constant time-slot changes and ultimate cancellation of "3rd Rock from the Sun" (1996)) "If NBC had set out to ruin it, they couldn't have done a better job. They kept trying to use us as a weapon instead of a show to be taken care of. It would have been nice to have stayed a big hit, but I'd rather be a great show that nobody was watching than a lousy show that was a big hit, which is the case for most of the others".
