You may have heard of the Television Academy, the people who bring you the Emmy Awards. (This year's strike-delayed show will air on Monday night.) 

That same organization has an almost mind blowing number of interviews - currently at 900 - of some of TV's biggest and/or most influential stars. Among those commenting on their contributions to TV history and their place in it:

Norman Lear, Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, Steve Allen, Milton Berle, Bob Barker, Walter Cronkite, Billy Crystal, Hugh Downs, Patty Duke, Andy Griffith, Monty Hall, Jonathan Harris, Buck Henry, Ron Howard, Jack Klugman, Art Linkletter, David McCallum, Mary Tyler Moore, Billy Mumy, Leonard Nimoy, Don Pardo, Carl Reiner, Tom and Dick Smothers, Judge Judy, Buffalo Bob Smith, George Takei, Alex Trebek and Weird Al Yankovic. And believe me that's just a partial list.
