"I just think that it's such a good show and timeless and still very funny, and that just makes me happy to have that whole first season in one concentrated space for people to enjoy so that it's not hit and miss trying to find it in syndication always"
About this Quote
The key phrase is "one concentrated space". That's the language of curation, almost of preservation. Syndication is "hit and miss" by design: episodes out of order, scenes cut for time, a show's identity diluted into background noise. Elfman frames the first season as the pure text, the version where the comedy's rhythm and character arcs actually land. Subtextually, she's defending the work against the entropy of TV distribution, where even a successful show can become a half-remembered vibe.
Culturally, the quote sits in the shift from passive channel-flipping to intentional viewing. Owning or streaming a season isn't just convenience; it's authorship and legacy. When she says it "makes me happy", the happiness isn't only personal pride. It's relief that the show can be encountered whole, judged fairly, and loved without interference from the medium that once made it famous.
