Quote

I don't think it feels like a burden. We did not really think of it [Mary and Jane] that way. I think it is certainly how we branded. The thing it does is enables us to be a little bit surreal.

Two years ago it felt novel to do the East Side and then tons of other stuff have come up set in that world, but we still liked it. It felt like people are using East Side in other shows because it is cool.
