Abed Nadir : There is skill to it. More importantly, it has to be joyful, effortless, fun. TV defeats its own purpose when it's pushing an agenda, or trying to defeat other TV or being proud or ashamed of itself for existing. It's TV, it's comfort. It's a friend you've known so well, and for so long you just let it be with you. And it needs to be okay for it to have a bad day, or phone in a day. And it needs to be okay for it to get on a boat with Levar Burton and never come back. Because eventually, it all will.

Abed Nadir : Things have a certain structure to them, you know? If we stray from it, we're weird, if we stick to it, we're boring.
Dean Pelton : Yeah, but isn't that more about the shape of your brain, Abed? I mean, no offense or anything. But isn't the shape of your brain kinda fucked up?

Abed Nadir : Shirley or Elroy?
Dean Pelton : See, that's racist, man. Shirley *or* Elroy? That's racist. How about they both come back? How about there's a whole third black person?
Abed Nadir : Where do they all sit?
Dean Pelton : They... well, they sit wherever they want to sit, as of the 1960s.
