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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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