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

There is an episode [in "Mary and Jane"] where there is not a lot of pot smoking, but there is a giant wall of weed in their apartment.

I don't think it feels like a burden. We did not really think of it ["Mary and Jane"] that way. I think it is certainly how we branded. The thing it does is enables us to be a little bit surreal.

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.

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.

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.

It is just fun to play with [in "Mary and Jane"]. I think our sense of humor tends to go that way.
