We did want it ["Mary and Jane"] to feel a little different and have some surreal weird touches, which we try to do every episode. That is what we took advantage of.

Somebody said, there is no show if it goes legal. But actually, there is.

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.

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.

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

We also had an "in" with MTV those days. Tara Reid was engaged to Carson Daly. She just called him and was like, "Do you want to be in the movie?" So they kind of had to make it work.

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