Embrace real constraints, not artificial ones

• unalone 18y ago
  Something related to this: when you have a constraint, use it to your advantage. Make that constraint into your edge. I think my favorite TV show of all time was Arrested Development, which is odd because it's nearly the only show that I like that wasn't either British or on a pay-for network. And one of the reasons for that is that they took the things they knew they couldn't do - like swear - and turned that into a joke of its own. One of my favorite early jokes in that show featured an incredibly lengthy censored story. I don't think you'd ever look at that show and feel like it was avoiding any subject because it was a network show.
