TIM BUSFIELD INTERVIEW! JANUARY 2004!! When asked if he considered thirtysomething the highlight of his career he responded: "If TV was pro baseball they would have been championship seasons.  Those are the ones you play for.  Maybe you'll get a bunch, maybe none.  I hope I get a change to get back to high level of appreciation, but if not then yes 30something will forever be the highlight". Tim Busfield, January 2004

I didn't know that would never happen  again...but the experience of a true ensemble emotionally and creatively a real family and work that you can look back on, you know ten years later .. man I was so good... I was so so good... and that you have  once because you only grow up in that once..." Ken Olin/TS BRAVO SEMINAR , July 2001
