opportunity thinking two-friends
There are a lot of explorations on TV of romantic relationships, and some are good and some are bad. I think there are very few explorations of male friendship that' s not just a wingman type friendship and not just an opportunity for humor, but that really explores two friends and their relationship.
two wish important
Only two things you ignore: things that aren't important and things you wish weren't important, and wishing never works.

aware disaster fact knows love nature quite
We want to play with the fact that she's still in love with him, but she knows it's a disaster and he's still in love with her and isn't quite so aware of the disaster nature of it.
again changed changing network thank
FOX, to their credit, changed it. I will never again thank a network for changing a character.
caring difficult flawed fuzzy guy likable people soft tricky troubled watch widely
What's widely interpreted as being likable is caring and soft and fuzzy and I just think that's boring. People don't want to watch a guy who's hateful. That's a tricky thing - to make a guy interesting and difficult and troubled and flawed but not hateful.

believe character curious glimpse greater guy interested opposite personal somebody sort stand tricky
The show is not about his personal life, ... but you get curious about that, so we wanted to get a greater glimpse into who this guy was. It's really tricky to find someone to play opposite him, to stand up to him, somebody that you would believe this sort of character would be interested in, and would be interested in this character.
consider letter people petitions
They may not want to consider that alternative but the people do. The letter writing and the petitions will continue.
episodes few numbers stayed worried
The reruns have done better than those first few episodes did. So I'm really not that worried about it because the numbers have stayed up.
bore medical watch
There is a procedural spine, but I wouldn't watch it for the medical stories. Frankly, it would bore me.
fit resisted stories weird
We've resisted a lot of weird stories because they don't fit the show.
ahead obviously quarter
The quarter obviously was very strong, ahead of pretty much everybody's expectations.
