- To some extent, "Friends" itself was guilty of this -- didn't Rachel's fashion career seem to mobilize unrealistically quickly? "These 22-year-old VPs -- why do they do that?" says Wilson. "And every guy's an architect. I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV." And certainly not before 30.
- "Women don't get to be funny," says Wilson. "They just stand next to the wacky guy." Case in point: the woeful underutilization of Judy Greer in CBS's current offering "Mad Love."
- "Adam Pally plays a gay character in our show, but it's not the focus of his character, it's not at the forefront," says Wilson. "It feels strangely revolutionary." Contrast that with this season of MTV's "My Life As Liz," in which Liz gets a gay roommate when she moves to New York from Texas. Guess what? He teaches her to walk in heels -- and he's afraid of mice.
- Wilson is her show's token single girl, but what made her take the part was that -- earth-shattering! -- her character doesn't hate being single. "I'm done with this bitter, hardened girl swilling wine," says Wilson. "[My character] Penny has seen it all, but she believes she's going to find love." We all remember NBC's "quarterlife" -- nothing says bitter like angry video blogging in your sports bra.
- "I have never turned to my girlfriend and said, 'Oh, okay, babe,'" says Wilson, "and I see it in scripts all the time. It trickled down from 'Sex And The City.' I believe it coming out of Carrie Bradshaw's mouth. No one else's. But guys think this is how women talk to each other."
