MONDO EXTRAS

WC: None at all? There's nothing that you watch on a regular basis?

SR: I do not watch anything on a regular basis. I watch reality TV -- you know the dating shows? Elimidate, and Shipmates, and Blind Date. I can't get enough of those. And then I decided that the shows that I did like, I wouldn't be able to write for, like The Simpsons.

WC: You don't think so?

SR: That's tough. Those guys have been doing it for ages. And it's all dynamics -- they're friends, and stuff. And God, I don't know if I could write a Simpsons. That's funny stuff.

WC: Are there any that you'd like to guest-star in?

SR: Um...have you seen that show Curb Your Enthusiasm? On HBO?

WC: Yes. I've only seen it a few times but I understand it's good.

SR: I love that show -- it's my favourite show. It's great.

WC: They show it on the movie channel here, because I'm in Toronto, so we don't get HBO.

SR: You're in Toronto?

WC: Yeah.

SR: Really?

WC: Yeah!

SR: That's amazing! I didn't know you guys were in Toronto.

WC: We're not all here. There's me, and my husband Glark here, and our other partner Sars is in New York.

SR: I'm from Vancouver!

WC: I know! So we don't get HBO, but we get a lot of the HBO shows.

SR: At least you get the HBO shows now. I don't think they had anything when I was there.

WC: Well, they've come around. There are a billion cable channels now, so we get more of the American shows. Like, there's a comedy channel that picks up a lot of the stuff from Comedy Central in the States. So you live in L.A. full-time now?

SR: Pretty much, yeah. I mean, I leave, but have more stuff here than I do there.

WC: I read that when you got the job on Freaks and Geeks, your parents moved to California with you. Are they still there?

SR: They kind of go back and forth. There's a place here, and there, for them.

WC: And do you get back to Vancouver a lot?

SR: I do; I was just there over the winter. But the thing is, all my friends now go to school in Montreal -- they all go to McGill -- so I have no friends in Vancouver anymore. So I go to Montreal now, when I have time.
