How does it feel to get so many Tweets from fans who love the show, and how does it feel to be back?
ALISON BRIE: We’ve always had such a great love for the show. The show is our baby. Seeing the fan reaction and this outpour of love and support, and the outrage that the show wasn’t going to be on the air, made us feel like the show was the most important thing that’s ever been on television. It’s this amazing thing that happened with the hiatus, where you’d expect for it to be a time where you feel really down and question the show that you’re doing. Instead, it was totally the opposite, like, “What we’re doing here is the most incredible thing ever! People love it!” It was so nice to have that support, and that really kept us going.
Now that the show is coming back on the air, we’re all just ecstatic. It’s just such a good feeling. It’s so nice to feel like the fans are getting the show back because they’re the ones that have been fighting for it to come back. It feels like, “Here, we’ve been working on all these great episodes for you guys!” It’s so nice to finally share it. We’ve always had a strong relationship with the fans through Twitter, and stuff like that. Usually, it’s great because it’s while the show is airing, so fans are seeing the episodes and we’re getting immediate feedback about how they’re feeling about those episodes, and then we’re working other stuff in that they say the want to see. So, we haven’t had the interaction, and that’s been a bit of a bummer, but it’s also going to be great that we have so much now to show them.
Are you guys going to do anything specific on Twitter to make sure people watch the show live?
BRIE: We’re just gonna keep saying it. I don’t know what’s going to happen with the show. We’re back on the air. They’re definitely gonna air these last 12 episodes, hopefully no matter what. I hope people watch it live, but I don’t know what there is to do. It’s not what it used to be. Appointment television doesn’t really exist these days, with DVRs and stuff like that. I’m not home at 8 to watch the show, so it’s hard to get people to do it.
