The End Of an Era

Quotes From Peter Gallagher

"I think it will be remembered for a really vibrant first season that captured a lot of imaginations around the world and gave families a chance to watch a show together -- mothers and fathers and kids -- that they could both enjoy and the show found at least briefly a happy marriage, between comedy and drama."

"I guess my favorite moment was the day I read the pilot script. That was very exciting. And I certainly loved singing in the second season. And you know, frankly, I have had so many good days on this show; I loved going to work; I love the cast; I love this crew; I love our directors and every day on this set sure beats working in a coal mine.

"It's sad because I saw great things for this show. But it's exciting because I am looking forward to doing something else. I'll miss this crew and this cast, but it's also the longest job I’ve ever had in my life. I mean it’s the most steady job I've had, ever. It’s easy to get used to, so it's sad but exciting…exciting for what the future holds. Next, as we say in the business."

"I hadn't done a lot of TV before and I think I am a little smarter about just what a screwed-up business it is. People will say anything. I think I'm a little smarter about it. I don't know how it's changed me. I have been doing it so long but I still love what I do; I love the people I do it with. I am looking forward to finding another great part."

"That's true, I raised my family in New York City. I commuted for a year and then it looked like the show was going to last so I gambled and brought them out here and we have been here for three years."

"Thank you so much you really made this experience extraordinary. It's a very rare and wonderful thing when you are in the storytelling business and you are lucky enough to tell stories that people actually want to hear. Thanks for making this experience extraordinary. It's all about you guys."
