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.

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 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.

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

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.
