The entire end sequence was great. Sad we didn't get any of Grotchen's clients this episode though.

Jimmy ' s face in next week's preview was A+

Thanks guys! Montage was one of my favorite things we did all season and it came out great I thought. Credit to Jordan, the director, on that one.

Oh wow I missed this post. Congrats.

So apparently, they aren't the worst. Their friends are.

Still, aya cash and a few funny jokes are more than most sitcoms.

The vet is the best, not the worst. Even the chubby girl isn't so bad. I think the title is meant figuratively! Cash is hot and perfect, I bet she's a big star.

The only slightly bad thing about the vet is his whiny David Schwimmer thing.

Best new show in years. I actually only caught the first ep hanks to randomly watching Married on before, which I also really like. You're the worst had better stick around

It's not looking great...

Yeah that's a shame. No big names and people just ignore it.

I really hope it sticks around. I think it deserves to.

There's no question it deserves to, it's a fantastic show. That didn't save Terriers though. It needs to show a distinct upward swong in its ratings in the last few episodes to get a chance at renewal. I mean maybe it has good DVR numbers and whatnot (FX takes that into account nowadays IIRC), so who knows.

It being FX, I could see it getting another season. Terriers was a very special case, in more ways then one. I'm sure this is infinitely cheaper and quicker to produce, and since they're model of 10/90 seems to have **** the bed, they might be willing to push these shows.

Here are the numbers from last week as spun by FX. The inside word is that they love the show and are looking for a reason to pick it up, so if there is any build that helps our chances a lot. The build from Ep 5 - Ep 6 is a good sign. Hopefully it will continue or at least hold. Get the word out!

Can you describe the writing process for this show fsoyars? I'd be very interested in what day-to-day work life for a show like this is like.

Pretty similar to most shows. Start around ten, the first order of business being "what did you do last night" and then ordering lunch. Then, the work mostly depends on what stage of a particular episode we are on and usually we are tackling a few at a time. So, we might spend some time loosely talking about what a future episode might be about, we might be actually breaking it, i.e. working out the specific beats/scenes. We might be writing a beat sheet or an outline together on the screen (there's a large monitor the assistant controls where everything is written). We may have an outline or a script that we've gotten notes on from FX and we're addressing the notes (or not addressing the notes). When an outline is finished and approved by FX, a writer is sent off to write the first draft (they are credited for that episode). Then the room will rewrite their draft usually a couple times. Sometimes we're just polishing a draft, looking for cuts, adding jokes, etc.

The key differences between this show and others I've been on are 1. the room was very small, just Stephen (the creator), myself and my writing partner and then two other female writers, 2. the season was serialized, so we kind of had to map out the entire ten episodes in the beginning so we knew what we were building to (although a lot changed along the way) and 3. we wrote the whole season before going into production. The downside of that last one was that, being a new show, we only had the pilot to go off of as far as seeing the actors actually act. We were writing in the dark a lot as far as what the casts' strengths and weaknesses were. The upside was that we had the ability to go back and change things in early episodes to set up or match things we did in later episodes. We were making changes to the pilot in our last week of work. And also, not being in production meant the hours were much, much better. Amazingly we usually were done by 4 or 5. Best job I've ever had.

Nooo.. but this n*gga sucks really good dick.

I died.

This show rocks. It seems like I've seen Gretchen (Aya Cash) somewhere before, but I can't pin down where. She's great.

Thanks for that fsoyars, was really interesting. How important is having female writers in creating a great female character like Aya's? Do you think an all-male writing room could have created such a good character?

Good question and hard to answer. I think the girls in our room lent a lot to molding Gretchen into a great character, but more so because they are good writers, rather than female writers. Good writers can write great characters of either sex. But at the same time, I do think it's important to have both male and female perspectives in a room. An all-male room would probably be a pretty ****ty room.

This was my least favorite episode of the show so far. Main plotline seemed like standard sitcom fare until the threesome. Vet roommate seemed especially whiny. And the Sandra Bernhardt bookstore **** was just bad.

Thanks all,
to think I would have missed this if it wasn't for this forum.


actually kinda makes me wonder what else I'm missing

I only watch tv because of shows recommended in this forum. I haven't been let down yet.

The vet is OK as a character but he's def not a vet. His character is so far removed from anyone with military training. He also saluted with his left hand once when demonstrating his soldier skills.

Agreed, how did Jimmy go from having such a scathing wit to basically acting ******ed with Bernhardt?

Tonight's episode was interesting and much better than last week's. They're moving in some new directions.

Where have I read that before? Hmmmmm.

Yep. Love this show. Absolutely love it. And I'm glad it happened so fast (by the 3rd ep). The last sitcom that got me that quick was Ben & Kate, and I will always miss that show.

Think I've watched two shows due to 2+2, Happy Endings and this. Well done guys
