Character Quotes by Shawn Ryan

Shawn Ryan

Cheers was one of the first shows where I paid attention to the writers because their [work] was better than everything else I was watching. The writers weren’t afraid to let a joke fall slightly flat if it advanced the characters.

In order to appeal to a wider audience on network in order to survive, generally your characters need to be, at a base level, a little bit more likable.

Nothing makes me happier than to have a smart person tell me why the show is smart, especially if I didn’t intend that. I tend to be a very instinctual writer, and I don’t plot shows out like, “This is my thesis and this is how I’m going to subtly sneak my thesis into this episode.” I just approach it from, “We know these characters well, here are the situations that they’re in, now how would they behave? What would the consequences be?” And it’s always fun to see how people interpret that and dissect it afterward, and make me and the other writers seem probably smarter than we really are.
