I’m bummed about not getting to tell those stories more.ĬASPE | If there’s one thing that we are a little pissed about - and I’m not laying the blame anywhere because I don’t know where it lays - but the show felt like it was built to be a better performer than it was in the end. Brad and Jane talking about starting a family or new jobs, things like that. And to see Elisha Cuthbert, who is so funny and was sort of undiscovered to us before as a really talented comedienne, to get to see out dating really for the first time with someone other than Dave would have been a lot of fun. Do they ever get back together? They seem like they’re right for each other. I really would like to have seen where Penny ends up and what happens with Dave and Alex. I really liked the show and I really liked the people I was working with, from top to bottom. My goal in my career always is to work on stuff I like with people that I like. So I’m very bummed that I don’t get to continue to work with all those people and make this show that was very fun to make. And I think it’s very rare that you get to work on something that you actually think is good and you would watch on your own. Everyone, all down the line from the crew to the cast to the writers, loved making the show and was proud of the show. But I’m super bummed in that it was very fun. Devastated I would like to reserve for non-career disappointments. For it to go to pilot, much less series, much less 57 episodes, is pretty incredible. It was the first television show I ever pitched. The people that I want to love the show love the show in a way that I could never have necessarily imagined when I went out to pitch it. TVLINE | As far as crushing disappointments go, where does this one rank?ĬASPE | For me, the show’s a gigantic success. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re like, “Is there one more last call we can make to pull this off?” GROFF | Sony took the lead on this and was really great about pounding the pavement. The truth is, how many shows have moved networks ever? It’s very difficult to do, and there’s probably some financial algorithmic reason for that that I don’t even understand.
But there were ongoing talks with a lot of places.
We don’t know the specifics that’s all sort of above our pay grade. TVLINE | Were there any other serious suitors in the mix?ĬASPE | I think there were. It sounded like it would have been hard for them to do everything they wanted to do in terms of development. GROFF | I think USA, to their credit, really wants to be in the business of making original programming. TVLINE | The talks with USA Network - how close were you to a deal?ĬASPE | It was as close as it could come without happening.
