I came up with this really crazy idea, this really small personal story that takes place in a universe that we are familiar with. Rocky is retired, kind of set adrift. He’s very lonely in his world. His life has gone by waiting for the inevitable. It’s not ‘Rocky 7.’ – Ryan Coogler
I think what helps me is that delegations of all sizes – the small, the medium, the large, the largest – they all have seen me in action.

In a weird way, ‘Veronica Mars’ was my reaction to ‘Freaks and Geeks’ because ‘Freaks and Geeks’ was the show I wanted to write, the one I wanted to create, where there was no gimmick; you didn’t have to have a teenage private eye. It was just these beautiful small stories about real kids. – Rob Thomas
