Will & Gracereunion: How NBC was involved from very beginning

We didnt do anything overt until after the episode aired and we saw the reaction.

We wanted to see what would come of it.

They look the same.

The show is the same.

Its hilarious and insightful.

So I asked, what about doing more episodes?

So he said, Let me talk to the cast.

Let me see what I can do.'

The finale was a bit of an anomaly, a look into the future.

I dont think you have to pick up from there.

We want a classic version of the show.

Its very clever how we sidestep the finale.

This is a show that you remember and love.

And that finale could happen five years from now.

It can still service the show later.

These characters are still very vital and alive, Greenblatt continues.

Id love to have them in a present day instead fixed in the past.

And there is all kinds of modern context thats really interesting.

And the miracle of these four is that they look the same.

Does this mean NBC is open to revisiting other classic comedies from its Must-See past?

Greenblatt doesnt want to get ahead of himself.

We think about our classic shows all the time but I think certain elements have to fall into place.

The original creator has to be really excited about it.

The principal cast has to be excited.

I dont think you do one of these without the original visionary creator being involved.

So I dont think it will become a trend for us.

But if Aaron Sorkin called and wanted to do eight episodes ofThe West Wing, sold!
