Because clearly I don&#8217;t watch television, and I hadn&#8217;t watched enough of these shows&#8212;until they called me, and then I watched maybe two. I should&#8217;ve watched a few more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nA show like <I>New York<\/i> contains a lot of exposition, Ward continued, and the characters have to explain things multiple times. &#8220;I just am not used to that. It was very, very difficult for me for the first five shows,&#8221; she said. She added, &#8220;I guess it&#8217;s just the nature of these kinds of shows. They&#8217;re moving so fast, and they&#8217;re so technical when they start to get into the science of what&#8217;s going on, that they want to make sure the audience remembers. I keep going, &#8216;Are they really that stupid? They just can&#8217;t be that stupid. I mean, we&#8217;ve told them that already now four times. I have to say that again?&#8217; It&#8217;s just so foreign to me to have to do that.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nThe full interview is available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metro.us\/newyork\/entertainment\/article\/722234--learning-a-whole-new-language\">Metro.us<\/a>.
