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

The original pilot script [ of "Mary and Jane"], we literally just wrote for fun. It was, let's just do this.

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

Two years ago it felt novel to do the East Side and then tons of other stuff have come up set in that world, but we still liked it. It felt like people are using East Side in other shows because it is cool.

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 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.
