[on writing for television in the 1970s] It was a lot easier in those days. Basically, I would just go and present it orally to the network. Well, first to Screen Gems, and then the network. They would say, 'Okay, fine'. Then I would go away and write it. I very rarely ever did outlines or anything like that, because I was successful at getting stuff on the air. I was treated better than most. But there was very little to object to. Network executives don't really understand comedy.
