There was this moment of panic across the Internet when both Cougar Town and Community didn't have return dates.
I know, how sad! All they needed was to yank Parks and Rec for there to be some sort of mass suicide pact online.
Did you have flashbacks to Freaks and Geeks?
That was a crash course in the helplessness of being on a network TV show, because back then, we were on everyone's "must-watch" list — and I'm not kidding when I say I think I saw one ad for it. One. In the entire run of the show. It is really frustrating, and as an actor it's something that you have to come to terms with. I'm an actor who works, and a lot of this is luck for me, that I get to be a part of really great shows that have these cult followings.
You do have quite a track record.
It's surely by accident, because I audition for everything, all the shit. Well, I'm a little bit pickier now, but back in the day — certainly, with Freaks and Geeks, that was pure dumb luck that I got on that show and not one of the other 400 terrible teen shows that were around that same time. And then I went on to do sort of a terrible teen show! [Laughs.]
What can you tell us about what's happening with Laurie in season three?
She's really grown up in these three years. I'm really proud of her! Laurie starts a business in Gulf Haven, and it's surprisingly successful. She starts to have a real relationship with a man via Twitter and Skype, who is played by the adorable Edwin Hodge. And he's stationed in Afghanistan, in the army.
