Thoughts on Texas and its role


Jeff: These stories can work anywhere - they're universal stories. The reality and the texture are not forced onto the show. The process that Connie just described is the way we "find" the show. We find places that are real. We shoot in real houses and keep them the way they are. And we use real people from the community and a lot of non-actors become part of the show.

When Jason Street was going through the quad rugby, those were real quad rugby players... so were the nurses and the coaches.

Connie: And the ministers of the churches, too.

Jeff: So we basically allow the community to play a large part of the show and we let our actors interact with real people on camera.

I am from NH and being able to take a peek into TX is a huge draw to the show, albeit it is still fiction, it’s nice to see something other than the Hollywood "norm" on TV

I'm so happy that this show is in texas,. It wouldn't be the same filmed anywhere else. I love how the show shows the beauty of Texas. It makes me proud to live here.
