I think this season is definitely a more polished season. I feel like it’s taken us a few seasons to find our sea legs. I think initially with the show there was talk of going a traditional sitcom length. 22 minutes. We even kind of shot them that way in season one and then cut them down to the traditional Adult Swim length. So in the first season everything was kind of overwritten because they were written for longer episodes. Some of it was kind of hard to follow because they had to cut out a lot of comedy; a lot of funny stuff. A lot of that has ended up places like DVDs and outtakes.

In season two we knew the length and started refining things. This year the writing is just super crisp and so smart.

There are some episodes that are just really–you know rather than a more traditional kind of comedy that Adult Swim does, it’s just a smarter season. Every episode has a beginning, middle, and an end while packing in so much.

There’s a lot of interesting characters. There are callbacks to situations that we’ve been doing for three seasons. You kind of know the characters now. You know, Henry Zebrowski said to me, “Traditionally with Adult Swim shows it takes a season or two to set the rules for the audience and define the parameters of what the story is and what the characters do because every show of theirs has such a ridiculous premise. The audience needs to get behind the premise, and once they have it and know what the ground rules are, then you can start moving the show outward.”

And that’s how I feel this season was. They really started running story lines that would carry over multiple episodes, characters can come and go and the audience knows who they are…I just enjoyed this season so much because we had our sea legs! We also do a lot of improv on this show, so just comedically being comfortable with each other and trusting one another in every situation is crucial. Now I know exactly how Henry is going to come into a scene or how Craig is going to respond. So that’s kind of what season three is!
