From the Ampersand, the quotes that didn’t make it into their upcoming article:

• From the Cutting Room Floor: Alan Thicke
  “I get all the sitcom scripts at pilot season. I’m certainly not the reluctant debutante; I love the sitcom life. I’d be thrilled to do another successful sitcom. But I’m a good reader.

Not one.” Read more.

Joshua Ostroff from Eye Weekly interviews Alan Thicke. Like the informative but not-so-creative headline says:

We chat to the former Dr. Seaver about grow-ops and sitcom theme songs, with supporting commentary from jPod star David Kopp.” Read more.
