Speaking during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Curtis explained that she struggled with the single-camera comedy format, saying she found the atmosphere very different from traditional sitcoms.
The actress said that single-camera productions felt more like making a movie, where actors perform without the energy of a live audience. For Curtis, the lack of immediate audience reactions made the process less enjoyable.
Curtis has previously expressed her love for multi-camera sitcoms, particularly Anything But Love, which she described as one of her favorite professional experiences.

Curtis continues to remain active in Hollywood and is preparing for a new project on Newlyweds, where she will take on roles both in front of and behind the camera.
Her comments highlight how different production styles can shape an actor’s experience, even when working on a widely loved show.
