NBC gives comedies a chance to find their legs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People like us who are on their last leg can only understand comedies.
I don't see myself making comedies always.
Pretty people don't keep comedies on the air. Funny people keep comedies on the air.
That's what I hate about a lot of comedies, when you're hitting a line or making it funny.
The trend now is to get away from stage bound sitcoms.
We need comedies in the world! We need to laugh, it's all so hard.
I don't get offered many comedies.
With a popular show, you know that there's expectations there, so that's a little nerve-wracking when you're new and you're just trying to find your legs on something, but it's exciting, too, because that's what we work so hard for.
The one thing I think I've noticed about shows that are supposed to be funny on television is that they've sort of become routinized, so there's an awful lot of mannerisms and joke lines that are sort of there to trigger laughter, rather than give actors a chance to play a moment.
When we began filming, these people had legs, but as we were filming, they had been injured and they were brought to the hospital to have their legs amputated, and that's where we found them and asked them to come and be part of the film.
