Mary Steenburgen: Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is like The Good Place in that parents can watch with their kids

The Hollywood Reporter

"You know, my husband's (Ted Danson) in a show, The Good Place, and one of the beautiful things about that show has been that people sit and watch that with their kids. In the case of that show, they talk about morality because that's what the show's about: good versus evil and all that stuff," Steenburgen tells The Hollywood Reporter. "It's not really preachy, but it does bring up all these issues about right and wrong. And people have these amazing conversations that we hear about. We're constantly stopped on the street by parents of, like, 12-year-old kids, and the 12-year-old is geeking out and the mother is geeking out too. And they talk about the show. One of the things about Zoey's is I feel like people who have someone that is hurting or ill in their life — the caregivers of the world, which are usually the families — are going to really watch this show together. But I also feel like kids are going to go crazy for this show because of the music and all the cute funny people and watch it with their parents, who are going to also hear music from our generation. So I feel excited about that."
