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.

We feel like we are using the East Side to kind of spoof what everybody thinks is cool.

We ["Mary and Jane"] did not want to be a weed show, like it is a bunch of people sitting around smoking.

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

I don't want to call the show [ "Mary and Jane" ] a satire because it is not, but there are satirical elements.

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.

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