*One post was super long so I’ve split them up by show. Shorter posts but more of them is probably better than one long one. How I Met Your Mother – Aww. The last season. This show often slows down across a season when watching it live, but as I’ve discovered before, it can hold […]
MG Media: How much pride do you take in the fact that your casts are much more racially diverse than most other shows? Shonda: I don’t take pride in it at all. I think it’s sad, and weird, and strange that it’s still a thing, nine years after we did “Grey’s,” that it’s still a thing. […]

From: Post-Water-Cooler TV: How to Make a TV Drama in the Twitter Age “The thing that still is really completely out of whack is pilot season. I mean having gone through that and having six weeks from a green light to shooting the pilot, competing with 100 other shows for talent, it’s crazy. It just seems completely […]
From: Post-Water-Cooler TV: How to Make a TV Drama in the Twitter Age “They all watch it more than once. They watch it, and they live-tweet, and then the fans will watch it again and be like: I noticed this other thing.” Yes, this is definitely true.
