Six weeks always seems like ample time to write for a 4-5 hour game, but it always ends up with Brendan and Dave having to pick up the slack. (Which is great for the quality of the actual game; it's just bad for my ego.) I've got more respect for TV writers now, even for the middling shows. I'm still going to be critical of them, because I've got a blog and all, but when you think about how much work goes into even mediocre episodic stuff, it's amazing they get done at all. I don't even want to think about what it must've been like coming up with a new "Arrested Development" every week!
