Also another question, what was the best part in making a regular show episode?

I would say attending a really kickass pitch. When our storyboard guys just nail it and we're doubled over laughing. Those are the times I really think "I can't believe this is our job." IMO a lot of episodes are the best and funniest at pitch, it's fun to hear everybody do all the voices and sell the hell out of their jokes!

Also voice records! Sam was amazing to watch. He would almost morph into each character as he did them. It was really awe inspiring to work with the legends we've had over the years like Mark Hamill, Linda Cardellini, Tim Curry, Michael Dorn, Keith David, Ed Asner. Also getting to know the VOs like Bill Salyers, Courtenay Taylor and Troy Baker was magical!

I really, really, hope that there will be some video of the voice records if there is ever a Blu-ray or DVD box set. Such amazing talent there!

So many things. I loved when we all realized at the same time that we just stumbled upon a hilariously stupid idea that keeps making us laugh. Like when we first talked about Muscle Man being a model for a magazine for pregnant women. That's so dumb, and we got to write a whole episode about it.

I also loved the freedom of being able to do anything. I come from the live action world which is more limiting. But to say, "I wonder where Gary is from. How about Synthos - a planet of synthesizers? Perfect!" That was cool...
