Excerto de uma entrevista de Bob Odenkirk e David Cross:
BO: I’m sorry we dicked around so much, but David and I can’t help ourselves. We’ve done so many interviews. The minute you get serious, you just feel embarrassed. When you asked if we were gonna work together in the future, what could we say? There has to be a buyer who wants us. And as much as we have fans, clearly nobody likes us well enough to make a show with us. They’ll all have a meeting with us, but even HBO doesn’t want to have a show with us.
D: You guys have another show idea?
BO: Yeah, we do, actually. We pitched it. We went to Showtime and HBO. It’s a progression of Mr. Show. When we wrote Mr. Show, we would write sketches and then we would link them up. We wrote sketches that came out of a sense of story. So we want to do that show now. It would still be like Mr. Show, but the sketches wouldn’t be constructed separate from each other. It would be a fundamentally different show because of that.
D: So you pitched it around?
BO: We did, and basically everyone said, “Oh, we don’t have any money right now. Come back next year.” It’s always been this way. It’s always been difficult for us because we have fans. We even have fans at networks—at HBO and Showtime—but it’s just not good enough. I think the hard part is the bosses at those networks have never been fans of ours. They’ve never really watched us or known who we were or given a shit. So the problem is even if the lower-level executives like you, they can’t order shows. They just act like they can.
I’m pitching a show that’s just for me, and you would think, "Wouldn’t that be even harder to make happen because you don’t even have David with you?" But actually it’s got a real strong idea to it, and I think it’s actually easier to make happen.
É um mundo em dois g-é-n-i-o-s não conseguem o seu próprio programa de televisão. Perde-se tanto. Tanto.

Só para dizer que o teu blog é a melhor cena de todo o sempre!
e que é do carago fazer uma pausa no estudo e aperceberme de tantos posts novos tudo com interesse!
ainda não falhaste uma unica dica!
obrigado pelo eastbound, pelo gajo com o nome grego que nunca consigo pronunciar e por finalmente haver alguem que para alem de fazer criticas a musica seleciona aquilo que vale a pena nesse mundo tantas vezes marginalizado que é a comédia!
keep it up dude! (please!)
