Peter Liguori Quotations

We're gearing these crimes to almost be popcorn-ish,

Much like 24, Prison Break is packed with multiple plot twists.

Fox should be in the business of going after noisy franchise events. It is a little uncomfortable to launch serialized shows. If you don't get people early, it's very difficult for those shows to grow, and they're not great in reruns. But you've got to get fresh audiences coming to try your network, and you've got to cater to their needs.

Fox is proud to have been the home of this groundbreaking comedy. From its innovative production values to its exceptional writers and cast, this series has helped shape the modern sitcom. We'll miss this hilariously loud and manic--yet somehow relatable and admirable--family.

Going in, this was something everyone knew wasn't going to be an easy thing to pull off,

I think that show has really captured an audience's imagination. Viewers love the thrill ride of each and every episode. And when, and if, the prison break does happen, I feel that there's a strong enough investment in the two lead characters that the audience is going to go along for the ride.

It is highly unlikely the show is coming back.

People are going to pick their favorite shows and stick with them, ... and you'd better be good enough that they want to stick with you.

Our original films tend to go after an issue or chew on a nerve. But this movie, more than anything, defined for us an almost Greek-like version of drama and a dramatic question of: Can a man redeem himself? In this instance, can a man who's been convicted of the most heinous of human acts redeem himself?

That '70s Show is one of our longest-running hit comedies. The show's success is definitely a testament to the creativity and dedication put forth each week by the talented cast, outstanding writers and producers and the great crew. There are a lot of things about the '70s we'd like to forget--especially those involving polyester--but this series has been a wonderful look back at this most memorable decade.

I wish our competitors well, to a certain degree, on those shows.

I would not call anything a safe bet.

Well, I was referring to the spider more than the aftermath,

We're not talking about a news show, so I think there's a bit of a difference. I think news talks about true life- and-death situations for citizens and we're talking about a piece of entertainment. All that being said, we're not making light of the allegations.

The fact that 'American Idol' is seeing its biggest premiere numbers ever - especially considering it's in its fifth season - is nothing less than astounding.

We think the Idol audience is unbelievably loyal. This is their favorite show, and we anticipate that our ratings will be solid.

When you have the opportunity to work with people like Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg, artists who've redefined this business, you jump at the chance, In this age of digital cameras, cell phones with cameras and the Internet - with hundreds of thousands of people creating their own movies at home every day - the concept of this series is completely relevant, tapping into a cultural phenomenon as it happens.

We're taking a more measured approach to what works and what may not work and I think, in the world of new technology, that is the quintessential marathon, not a sprint, and we're looking at it accordingly.

Both have been picked up, both will be ready for work, and we'll work it out,

Every January we recognize that two and a half hours of fresh originals are coming in. That gives us an opportunity to see what's worked in the fall, what shows are going to continue through January.

I very much enjoy the creative banter with Steven,

Their voice needs to be heard. We'll figure it out.

I know you get second-guessed in this business, but I'd rather be second-guessed for the right reasons.

I guess they didn't want to hear our answer.

Clearly, Denis and Peter want to make sure that the situations and day-to-day lives and challenges of the firemen (on the show) aren't sugarcoated and aren't whitewashed, and that's what attracted them to FX,

This is newer, fresher comedic turf to be playing on. The fact that Ivan is attached only gives me more confidence.

The goal shouldn't be to expand the envelope with taste. It should be to expand the envelope with creativity. . . . We're gearing those crimes to almost be popcornish.

The loyal audiences those shows breed gave us a lot of confidence when it came to stepping up on Prison Break and Reunion .
