Collider Lorre and Prady Comicon 8/1/2008

Memorable Lines:
Lorre: There has to be science but there has to be comedy. You don't get the science, you'll still get the comedy. It's like if the show is in Portuguese, you should still be able to laugh. That's the bar you have to jump over as writers.
Prady: But I think we found ways to stay true to the characters we established. We learned great things about our performers. To discover that Kunal had the range he had and that we could build stories around Kuthrappali (sp) and Wolowitz; that we have some strength on the bench. We don't write away from any performer which is rare in television. We can write for any of them and get great stuff. We learned to listen to the characters. When we got off track and had weeks where [we] had to do some repair, it's because we had stopped listening to the characters.
Lorre: They're not slackers. This is not 'Friends'. These are very, very remarkable characters and if we stay true to that then it's quite a joy to be a part of.
Prady: Leonard looked at [Penny in the first season] almost as an object but now you have to deal with her as a complete person with her own complete set of feelings which to the Leonards of the world is somewhat surprising.
Mood of the Masses: No comments.
