With a television show, it's about fighting to get it on the screen every week. It's like going into battle, and you have to fight these fights. Some are big fights, some are skirmishes, some you can come to detente on, but it's always a fight.

It's a relationship that in success can go on six, seven, eight years. I think certainly in the early days, you definitely want that engagement.
Alfred Gough

Alfred Gough
We now live in a world both in film and television where everything is based on something. You point out, Star Wars was an original screenplay, Raiders of the Lost Ark, an original screenplay, Ghostbusters an original screenplay, Back to the Future. All these things that people love were original ideas many years ago.
Alfred Gough
As a network, they're not the network that usually picks things up after the first episode airs. They definitely have a methodology that they follow. But they're very happy with the show [Into the Badlands]and they're very excited with how it's performed.
