It's unfortunate for the guys. It doesn't do honor to the game.

We hoped we'd be further along. It's a little frustrating. We were hoping at some point to turn the corner. You never know.

It was as good of an offensive night as we can have and a decent defensive night as well. We had control of the match from start to the buzzer.

It's got the best bridge on the album. If there's any bridge connoisseurs out there, it's got a good bridge.

Also I think a lot of the pressure came from ourselves. We really cared about this a lot. When we were first starting to develop it, we came up with a few ideas and actually wrote a script for another pilot. And we liked that one too, but it wasn't personal like this one was. This one felt like something we'd write whether we had a deal to write it or not. From where I'm coming from, it was at a point in my life where I was single and thinking, 'When am I going to settle down and get married?' It was very therapeutic writing in a weird way. The real pressure was for us not to screw it up ourselves.

I went through periods where you're just sort of writing things that are supposed to be funny and things that look like a sitcom. Now we're writing about real life and things that we care about. That's one of the things that a lot of these new shows have in common, like Everybody Hates Chris -- he's writing about his life.
