## Transcript

I don't know if it's good that my cat's doing that. On time magazine. Just keep it on the tail. Keep it on the tail. Undeclared came out in the year 2001. A quarter of a century ago, we were canceled in the middle of our season. You don't tell me what to do. What? When it got canceled, I got so angry that I sent a good review of it to the head of Fox, and I put a note on it that was very inappropriate. I'd just like to apologize to that executive for my foul mouth. I was delighted that anyone was watching and that it got to be something. I feel super charged. I think there was one review that said, oh, this is you know, it doesn't totally sound like Maria, but it wasn't meant meant to.

I'm not a showrunner. It turns out that's a that's a 24 hour a day job. So I was just grateful for the show. There's only two seasons and was about, you know, what people what the people needed and wanted. I don't think it'll be remembered unless it's bronzed. Bronzed is the only thing that's gonna last.
