ADD QUOTES
- Oakley: (talking about Adult Swim) I love Futurama, and I'm thrilled that it's on there. It's another show that I think is perfect for Adult Swim. I have only seen a little bit of Sealab and Harvey Birdman, but both are very funny.

- Oakley: The Simpsons has a big audience. Well, first of all, The Simpsons is now an institution, so it defies all traditional things. However, I think The Simpsons attracts -- or it used to -- every kid in the universe, some of their parents and then some grown-ups too. But if kids didn't watch it, the ratings wouldn't be very good. My suspicion is if adults who didn't have children were watching The Simpsons, their audience would be miniscule. And that's the audience we had for Mission Hill, I think.

- Oakley: (talking about Mission Hill) I've let my daughter watch every episode except for the masturbation one.
