It is an honor that our show's continued ratings success has become part of television history, ... 'Survivor' has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience for me and for my production crew, and that has remained unchanged since our beginnings. I look forward to continuing as part of the CBS family, and in keeping our loyal Thursday night audience entertained and enthralled for many more years to come.

Every show on television has a downward trend because there are so many more things to watch. You can only deal with what is the benchmark of a hit series and 'Survivor' clearly remains a hit series.

You have to treat every hour of television you're given like a $100 million movie, and with 'A.D.,' we stepped it up even a stage further.

There's no reason the story of Christianity wouldn't be more prevalent in film and television considering the audience size who love and believe the stories. This is a broad audience and deserves to be on broadcast TV.

NBC allows me the freedom to be creative and to think differently and I hope we can bring a fresh look to the current crop of television dramas. This series will be shot in an exotic, remote island location, similar to a feature film, which will make it a powerful television event.

We're also tying in a television network. We're having meetings, and a network will be chosen to hide clues in other programming.
