And so, one of the things I think is challenging about writing a multi-camera sitcom about divorce is that some people watch it and they’re like, “I don’t wanna be anywhere near my ex-husband. I don’t wanna be anywhere near my ex-wife.” You know? “We actually got divorced because we didn’t get along. And now that we’re divorced and now that we we’re no longer married, we have no reason to even try to get along.
And what we found is if we can have them together attacking a problem with their own idiosyncrasies, it’s a better way to have them against the world than bickering at one another. Because if you get divorced, you have to talk to your ex-wife or your ex-husband. Well, there’s no reason to engage in drama and conflict with their new boyfriend or their new fiance or their new husband.
One thing that really surprised me is how great the kids are. How’s it been seeing them really develop and come into their own? Because their comedic timing’s great, and their delivery’s great. It’s been such a joy just even from the season, you can see the progression there.
