"Well, it would have had a lot of swearing and it would have had some naked butts, for sure,” says showrunner Aline Brosh McKenna. "We had the whole show mapped out in our heads, already. So it would have been, narratively, kind of similar. But one of the things that we have been happy about is that tonally, the CW is a great fit. The show does have a lot of heart and a lot of genuine emotions and that was something that was very important to us. I think on Showtime we would have felt more pressure to be edgy and dark and to sort of push the darkness.” PLUS: Next season will have a new title sequence (http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/crazy-ex-girlfriend-brings-it-home-bang-235507), how did Crazy Ex-Girlfriend nab Lea Salonga (http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/04/crazy-ex-girlfriend-finale-josh-greg-lea-salonga)?, the season finale was a home run (http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/crazy-ex-girlfriend-brings-it-home-bang-235507), it consistently improved upon its impressive level of quality (http://variety.com/2016/tv/columns/crazy-ex-girlfriend-season-finale-review-spoilers-rachel-bloom-cw-1201753753/), and the show's "greatest legacy" will be bringing the “Asian Bro” to TV (http://www.vulture.com/2016/04/asian-bro-crazy-ex-girlfriend.html).
