Amy Poehler's new show, the spin-off to The Office called Parks & Recreation, got some negative feedback when it was shown to test audiences. Normally, that'd rattle an actor/actress or put producers in a frenzy, but Amy says she's not sweating it.
Well, as you know -- and maybe people are savvy enough to know this -- but early testing stuff, when it's done by people, your cut has changed 20 times. And you take some of it and learn from it and sometimes you don't. So it's not so helpful to read what everybody thinks it's going to be or not be. I just try to keep my head down and focus on doing the show, and it's been easy because we've been working really hard, and I'm really proud of the stuff that we've done. Right now we've just finished episode 3, and we're getting ready to start episode 4, and then we'll be done with our sixth the week after the premiere, so we're just kind of blazing through it.
Good attitude to have. What one person doesn't like isn't the same as another person. There have been plenty of times that my friends and I have liked and disliked different things. Like the Sox and Yankees. Or chicks that have "more to love."
