“I've said from the start that I'm not going to write kiddie sitcoms.” — Dan Schneider Quote

I've said from the start that I'm not going to write kiddie sitcoms.

When I was a kid, my favorite show was 'Happy Days.' If I could have heard a recording of the cast of Happy Days just sitting around having fun, talking about the show in a party atmosphere, I'd have lost my mind.

Nobody gives a damn that I was in 'Head Of The Class,' but when they know I was Ricky in 'Better Off Dead,' they're like 'Holy crap, man! You were Ricky.' They go crazy.

I think so much of kids' television, kids' entertainment, is done by adults from a looking-back point of view. If we come up with a really great joke that will make me laugh hard and would make my friends laugh, we pitch it aside.

Sitcoms are usually sweet with no viciousness.

I liked sitcoms a lot.

I want to do sitcoms, movies, have my own talk show.

There are only about three really, really good sitcoms on the air.

I love film and I love sitcoms, and I was one of those kids that would just go to the movies on the weekend and spend my whole weekend watching all of the movies.
