Series creator John Herman was recently interviewed by Jackson West of NewTeeVee. Click the excerpt for the whole interview:

NewTeeVee: How does your improv experience play into creating a show “on the fly” like this, with audience feedback and characters living through blog comments?

John Herman: Gravityland is a mixture of improvisation and (what I consider) very scripted material. Many of the people behind the show share my background in improvisational theater — which helps a great deal during production. In many ways, I wouldn’t know how to work any other way. Creating a show like this really puts the audience and cast into positions of great trust. During an improv show, the audience’s presence drives the performance. It’s thrilling. With Gravityland there are so many ways for viewers to get involved that it recreates that feeling for me. It is a new level of intimacy that I don’t think is representative in a lot of entertainment.
