"There were a couple of scenes we tweaked quite a bit, particularly one where Lindsay, her boss, takes her home. And it's one of my favourite scenes in the show, actually.
And I think because it is so ambiguous, because it is never commented on after, you couldn't put a scene like that into a modern day show without having some repercussion for it, or having her have a conversation about the specifics of that. But we very, very specifically did not want to do that, we wanted to simply present it. And then the audience has to live with it. And that's the uncomfortable part that they're living with."

i might be biased because i was putting 9 hours a week into this show but i am currently obsessed with my schools production of little shop.... we had some of the best casting
I love how tame Roger's backstory is compared to the other two Phoneys. Not that he's any less tragic of a character of course but you got these other two one who went thru an horror movie of a life and another who has so much shit going on I don't even know how to put it and then you have Roger who is just some divorced alcoholic med school drop out. Peak just some guy 🙏
telling people they lack reading/media comprehension used to actually mean something and now it’s just something people say when they actually mean “u criticized something I like so I’m gonna play superiority complex and say u ackshually 🤓☝🏻just didn’t like it bc u didn’t Get It and aren’t as smart as me☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻”
@dianadeadwing’s recent art of Tina getting into a fight made me think about how Gene really is the sweetest Belcher family member. Okay, yes, I am biased because he’s my precious baby boy, but there is legitimate evidence for this.
Now, Louise is Louise, and would love to throw down with someone (though I doubt she would do it very often, as she’s a big fan of spectacle and long-term revenge and not actual fist-fights).
Linda was ready to fight Cynthia, and in general, if someone annoys her, she’s more than willing to go out of her way to upset them. She’s very similar to Louise in that regard. Don’t even get me started on how she was while driving the food truck.
Bob has his whole rivalry with Jimmy Pesto, and even though he’s more lowkey about it (usually too tired to fight someone or hold a grudge), he will throw down in the right situation. For example, in Burger War when Jimmy Pesto insulted his kids, he didn’t even hesitate before pouncing on the guy.
But Gene is different. He prefers to solve his issues in other ways. Such as in Drumforgiven, where he wanted to settle his dispute with the store owner by simply having a music battle, not an actual fight. And his response to getting kicked out of his own band in The Itty Bitty Ditty Committee was to almost give up on music!! He was barely even mad at everyone who kicked him out. Sure, he was upset, but he hardly held a grudge against anyone, and forgave them immediately when they approached him at the end of the episode. If Tina or Louise had been kicked out and cared as much about the band as Gene did, I can guarantee they would’ve been planning some sort of revenge.
Revenge never even crosses this boy’s mind—as another example, he even straight-up refused to cheat in the race in Torpedo!! He’s just so sweet 🥺 He also didn’t even want to prank anyone in What A (April Fool) Believes!!
