“I didn’t know what it was going to be, but it turned out to be something very special for me,” Ford told PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly of how viewers have reacted to the show.

He added, “I’m very touched by the kind of contact I have with fans of the show. They only wanna say that they enjoy it. They don’t want anything. They don’t want a picture, they don’t want an autograph. They just wanna share their pleasure in what it is that we are doing.”
