I don't think we had a hard time with ["Mary and Jane"]. It is just, it was the constant management of it.

The pilot is easy. It is 30 minutes, 20 minutes. It is not that much to juggle.

It feels like a totally different MTV now.Now they have all their own original series, and people are talking about going back to music now? It's all original programming.

Hopefully we have a slightly different vibe, but also East Side is where a lot young people live. It is a really fun, trendy, funky neighborhood, and it is ripe for satire, that area specifically.

We like to make sure there is a plot at the center of it and that you care about the people but to poke fun of little things, like the toast restaurant in the pilot.

Two years ago it felt novel to do the East Side and then tons of other stuff have come up set in that world, but we still liked it. It felt like people are using East Side in other shows because it is cool.
