When you're dealing with subjective matters, there's no wrong or right answer, it's just, "What do we think is best for the show?"
It just so happens that people aren't doing comedy about abortion or cannibalism or waterboarding. And that to me doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't aspects of those subjects that are funny, it just means that people are too uptight.
I feel like it's a dangerous and dark world if 'Sunny' becomes mainstream comedy. If you were to turn on CBS at 8 o'clock on Thursday and see an episode of 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia,' I don't know if I want to live in that world.
I think the more depth you build into the characters, and the more you see where they came from, the more fun you can have. Setting up different characters in different relationships is always helpful as you move forward.
Regardless of your metabolism, if you stop consuming so many calories, you will lose weight.
If anything, when you're in your late 20s, early 30s, and then mid-30s, you're getting less attractive.
Dramas need to have a certain aesthetic that comedy just doesn't really seem to need to have.
