ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So, Rob, how are you feeling?
ROB McELHENNEY:Im fing awesome!
We dont care what anybodys opinion is anymore.
They picked us up for 52 episodes [including the 13 in Season 4].
Charlie gets a stalker2.
Sweet Dee gets PMS and takes revenge on the gang3.
The gang exploits a kid with Tourette Syndrome4.
Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia throwdown5.
The gang films a porno in the basement6.
Every year we start to do an episode and then we shy away from it.
So maybe next season….
I like Philly vs. Pittsburgh.
The Eagles play the Steelers in a very big game this weekend.
I get the feeling a lot of your fans are unemployed, because they keep begging for jobs.
Who ya gonna hire?
The unpaid intern sounds not-too-insane.
We have lots of unpaid interns.
Send in the resume!
Believe it or not, we actually got some serious questions.
This one is from Bruce: Rob McElhenney is fing hilarious.
First of all, Im not a Hollywood [expletive].
Im a South Philadelphia [expletive]!
I would say write what you think is funny and dont listen to anyone else, including me.
We just dont take that as an answer.
A lot people seem to have trouble separating your characters from real life.
People definitely think Im an aggressive ahole.
Sometimes that works to my advantage and sometimes it doesnt.
Thats just what I get paid to do.
Music is huge for the fans.
Weve talked about that.
We take pride in our musical choices, and we have a lot of it this year as well.
And there has been some talk about the soundtrack.
Waynes going to be very, very happy.
Fans begged for teasers.
It was like 12 minutes over our time limit.
Sweet Dee has a heart attack [one episode] and we explore the health care issue.
We deal with cannibalism on Thursday night (Sept. 18).
And The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis is one of my favorite episodes weve ever done.
Thats also on Thursday.
Theres one episode entitled, Americas Next Top Paddys Billboard Model Contest.
And The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell, which is our flashback episode to 1776.
Were not fing around, bro!
Were in the casting process now.
Were on the Fox lot and we shoot the pilot Nov. 3.
Its our big connection show!
Whats the show going to be like?
Insofar as it takes place on a spaceship, there are sci-fi elements.
Theres going to be death and murder and all sorts of adventure.
We want it to be funny and real, likeSunnyis.
Even though it can get crazy, you still believe the characters.
