Television and Cinema Verities #96

“Each time we got picked up we had to push that finish line further away, and I think we had some low moments when we got too far-fetched. If you look at the series, the first five years were one show and the next five were a different show. We could have called it ‘Metropolis,’ in a way … there were a few times when heroes come in where we allowed ourselves to get lighter. But that’s breaking things up. I don’t think anyone goes out and tries to make mistakes.
