The show does need the space. Its complicated characters, baroque storylines, and manic pacing all pack a great deal of information into a small window, and it took some time to fully hit its stride, though last year's DVD release of the entire first season made catching up easy.
The easiest part of it is keeping their voices consistent. The actors bring such unique twists to these characters, and we have such complex characters, that that's the fun of writing the show. You get to play in their voices. I wouldn't really think of that as a challengeit's more the fun of it. "What would Gob say?"
