We were like, “We know it’s not up to us entirely because you guys own the show, but in our perfect world, here’s how it would go,” and we laid out the whole plan, and they were like, “Sounds great!” It kind of dovetailed very nicely with what they were imagining the future of the show was. So we had a meeting with NBC right before the where we laid out our plan. And then, as we talked about it more and more, we felt like the thing that 30 Rock did was the way to go - a shorter season, a manageable season where we can just try to land the plane and stick the landing. We knew the basic plot of the season and we hadn’t come up with the idea of the flash-forward yet, but for whatever reason, our gut was saying: One more season. And that was for a number of different reasons. MICHAEL SCHUR: At the beginning of season 6, Amy and I started talking, like, “What’s our endgame here?” We both felt like all we really cared about was that we wanted to be the people who ended the show when we wanted to end it, ideally, if that were possible, and it felt like the time to do that would be at the end of season 7.
