Vulture - Do you have any thoughts about the life span of the show [Silicon Valley], or do you feel like, as long as there's technology, we can keep it going?
Mike Judge - You know, at first I was thinking that we'd end it at six, but I was talking to a person in the tech world — well, I guess I'm signing an NDA, so I can't talk about it. But just when I think we've dragged it on too long without them getting rich, this stuff really happens. There are people that have companies that are valued at hundreds of millions or even a billion, and they still aren't rich yet themselves, and it's still stressful and still crazy.
When we started Silicon Valley, I thought, "Maybe we're too late. They already did The Social Network and that was great, maybe this has passed." But it's just been more drama and craziness, and the tech world just keeps fueling stories. You know, originally we thought of it as a show like Dallas or Falcon Crest, but with tech money instead of oil or wine, and those shows went on for however many seasons. I think this could go on another two or three, if everybody wanted to keep doing it.
