"I've always felt that this business is, at its best, a great collaboration." - Richard Crenna, Actor and Director

Television, in all of its forms and genres, has always depended on the cooperation of innumerable individuals. That collaboration includes everyone from the show creator who provides the concept, to the network executive who greenlights it, to the writers, casting professionals, propmasters, set designers, camera operators and the many others who bring that vision to the screen.
