DAVID ZUCKERMAN: Well, I guess we started reading some of the message boards and people started really appreciating the time that we spent on the stories and the depth of the characters. People were speculating, “What is Wilfred? Why is Wilfred in Ryan’s life?” And people were digging the themes that we explore each week. That was very gratifying. The truth is that the easiest part of doing a comedy is being funny. But, going for something with a little more depth is rarely attempted because it’s hard to do and nobody really thought there would be much of an appetite for it. We have a fairly small audience, by the standards of networks or even some basic cable channels, but it’s nice to see that we’ve reached enough people that FX feels it’s worthwhile to keep doing more.
