Wozniak found the comedic portrayal of start-up culture in "Silicon Valley" to be both amusing and realistic to his own experiences.
"Silicon Valley, I watched the entire first season," he said. "It fit into this thing where when we started Apple there were companies that would spin-off."
Wozniak continued:
"Then along came groups like Bill Gates and Microsoft and Steve Jobs and myself and Apple and a lot of young, young people; Mark Zuckerberg working in a dorm, creating these great companies. So, it became very enamored by people and wanting to be an entrepreneur, wanting to know the formula. How can I someday be part of a startup, one of the most exciting in life for people of that university-type age? So, those TV shows definitely would find a [audience], either have an interest, a spark, a point that could grab an audience."

"'Halt and Catch Fire,' too. Wow, I love the portrayal, but it's more like a lot of the drama."
