Yes, we're trying some new stuff. Some of it might work. Some of it might not. This, of course, is the nature of episodic television. They can't all be gems.

A lot of the women I know, that's what they're complaining about either the man in their life or the lack of a man in their life.

I'm excited and terrified to write something new.

I created a tone for network television that they hadn't really been seen before. And I have to admit that was really more of an accident. I was just writing the way I write.

I got to have a TV show that really was the talk of the nation for a while there. So I'm a very lucky guy.

I'm just proud that I created something that helped me pay my bills because I was so flat broke. I was borrowing money from my mother to stay afloat, and that was kind of uncomfortable.

I love the idea of a beautiful neighborhood that represents the very best of American values, but also as a fun backdrop to some darker, deliciously sneaky things going on in people's lives.
