Couple things here... BTVS involved - necessarily - lots of nightime/early morning shoots for the frequent nighttime scenes (Vampires and other forces of darkness prefer the cover of night, whereas a comedy - even an hour long one - would most likely be studio-based (if it was going to be anything like the current show is) and thus the hours - though they may be a lot of them, would hardly be as long and intense as a genre show like Buffy and have pretty much zero on location shots. A simple comedy doesn’t require the lengthy lighting, monster makeup, wounded human makeup, training for fight scenes, lengthy use of stunt doubles, filming the double and the actor over and over, the setup, staging, etc. A comedy that has no supernatural pr fantasy elements, no kick boxing super heroes, and is set in boring, every day life will never require the time, staging, and odd hours that a genre show like Buffy requires (required, sniff sniff - I still miss it!).
Also, could Sarah really have that much power over FPJr’s projects and would He in turn even have that kind of power (even for his own show - isn’t usually the network that makes the rules of the series (except for syndicated series where it’s made first THEN stations decide if they want to carry it or not). Anyway, not that I doubt SMG gave advice to him, but just wondering if it really is as attributable to her as he says. Plus it makes her sound kind of bossy and demanding (whereas I think it was probably meant to be a sweet sort of warning about what he was potentially getting himself into and she is probably feeling like she wants to spend as much time together as possible while they are young, in love so they can enjoy every minute possible). I personally think SMG is probably a really nice - albeit professional and a "take no BS off people" - young woman in real life, tho some articles and comments hint around that she is more of a nasty beeatch. Of course, people always get slammed who are popular, beautiful, and seem to have a life that most of us can only dream of, and this is the sort of article that could easily be misinterpereted and twisted around to fit those "primadonna" rumors. Anyway, not even sure why I found it necessary to comment on this, I’m probablky doing the very thing tht so often turns me off or irritates me about others sometimes - commenting on something they have no idea about. So anyway, sorry for doing that, but if anything, I wish FP and SMG every happiness and that they do get to spend time together as well as getting to maintain successful careers, etc.
