FastSaying

Critics want 'fresh,' ... But long-running television shows aren't built that way. When people tune into 'Will & Grace,' they don't want new actors in the roles. They don't want a new setting: They don't want to suddenly see it taking place in Miami. The freshness must be strictly internal, how we do little things. The big picture is not gonna change that much.
