Scripts Quotes
We sort of shut the company down for three or four weeks so that, as a writing group, we could take a deep breath and have a little time to think and plan and get some new material working so that when we came back into production, we could come back into a much more normalized kind of production schedule, which I think we did. And I think the scripts are really good. So given the givens, I think it was as good of a transition as you could have hoped for.

We had a hit list of people we approached... We told them some of the ideas we had. Because we spent such a long time writing the scripts for each episode, it would be mad to spend three months on a script for Sam Jackson, send it to him, and he goes, 'Why would I do that?' So we got a preliminary yes out of them, and then went way, wrote the ideas, spoke to them on the phone, sent them the script, and they all said yes.

We get a good page count compared with other single-camera shows. Instead or two or three pages a day, we'll shoot 10 or 12 pages. We shoot a lot more because we write a lot more. Our scripts are very long, coming in at 37 or 38 pages. When all that material is edited together, it turns out to be around 40 minutes of end product. Then we edit down to our delivery format of about 20 minutes.
