"I would not want to be a part of the small screen today. Look at the formatting on the small screen... it doesn't excite me at all," John told IANS.
However, the actor is in complete support of Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor's endeavour to bring about a change on TV through his desi adaptation of American thriller series "24".
"The small screen is growing and I must compliment Anil Kapoor on changing the quality of programming on the small screen. I must say he is trying to make a difference. The quality of programming should change with '24'," he said.
"24" will go on air on Colors Oct 4.
