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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
