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

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.

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.

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

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

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