TV Tango: Lauren [Iungerich, the show's creator] and her writing staff are really using AWKWARD. to introduce new words into our vernacular. What's your favorite new word or phrase?

Molly Tarlov: Flirtationship. I use it all the time. We just used it in the last episode, but I've been saying it for the last couple of months now.

Major May-Jor. I use it in my head all the time.

Brillz, of course.

[Check out this AWKWARD Slangtionary.]

Alicia Silverstone as Cher in CLUELESS.

TV Tango: What are your thoughts about the comparisons between CLUELESS and AWKWARD.?

Molly Tarlov: It's the best thing I have heard. I saw it three times in theaters. I take it as a compliment.

TV Tango: What's with the period at the end of the show title? Do Lauren and the writers go crazy when people don't include it?

Molly Tarlov: I don't think so; we had so many different name changes [during production].

I'm in New York right now. I'm watching a different TV, and there's no period. I felt a little strange about it. It's become such a part of it. At the beginning, when the letters are being typed out, the period is so much a part of it.

TV Tango: What would be a perfect date night for Sadie?

Molly Tarlov: Sadie needs a little romance...to be treated like a lady. A guy should take her mini-golfing and try to get her guard down -- and let her be herself. Maybe a gun range.

TV Tango: What would Sadie have written if she played the "What's Your Dirty Secret" game with Jenna?

Molly Tarlov: I can't tell you that. I'm sure that she would say something really mean about Jenna.

TV Tango: When Sadie sicced Lissa on Jenna at school, was Sadie happy because Jenna was going to get slapped or because she was controlling Lissa?

Molly Tarlov: Jenna. There was some relief when Sadie found out Jenna and Jake had kissed. It seemed like Jenna and Matty didn't have a chance. Maybe Matty wouldn't like Jenna and would think she was an oozing skitch. And Sadie got Lissa to do her dirty work for her.

TV Tango: Who came up with no-carb chocolate?

Molly Tarlov: I don't know which writer.

It was funny. I was at dinner with Lauren and got a diet Coke. It had a piece of bread in it and I said, "This is not carb-free."

That was legit ice cream too, in that scene. It was not frozen yogurt.

TV Tango: What's one question about Sadie that you've always wanted to answer, but nobody has asked yet?

Molly Tarlov: Hmm....that's really hard. "If Sadie could have a sibling, would she?"

I think Sadie would have an older brother so he could protect her. That's why she is the way she is. Maybe she would let her guard a little bit down.

TV Tango: How often do you search Twitter for #TeamSadie?

Molly Tarlov: I don't search because I'm scared. People are mean. I only look at when people reply to me. I don't search for the show anymore.

TV Tango: What's the meanest fan/hater tweet about AWKWARD. that's mentioned you or Sadie?

Molly Tarlov: I don't know, I've forgotten them.

TV Tango: What's your favorite fan tweet about AWKWARD. that's mentioned you or Sadie?

Molly Tarlov: I get so many good ones a day. I really really do. I would say a video from these two girls, Jordan and Kelly, who really love the show.

I like when people appreciate what I do. Most people tweet "You're welcome."

TV Tango: Have you been able to use Twitter and Facebook to help young women who have body image issues?

Molly Tarlov: Yes, I hope so. When episode 6 aired, we went into Sadie's body issues. I had good conversations with people who were relating to Sadie. Anything I can do to show girls that they can be a girl whose not stick skinny like on TV.

I love my art and my acting, but on the other side is reaching out to people. It helps me feel comfortable too, supporting each other.

TV Tango: Do people/fans recognize you on the street now? If so, what kind of reaction do you get?

Molly Tarlov: It's so crazy, they do. I can't believe it. It happens a few times a day. Well, mostly people just say, "You're on AWKWARD., right?"

When Jillian [Rose Reed, who plays Tamara] and I hang out, people are like "My gosh, Tamara and Sadie! In real life!" And I think "How old are you? And how are you watching the show?"

When people say "You know who you remind me of?" I always expect them to say celebs I've been compared to in the past, but now they say me.

TV Tango: Sadie's food weakness is fluffernutters. Mine is Doritos. What's yours?

Molly Tarlov: I'm more salty than sweet. I would have to go with chips, or mozzarella and tomato on sourdough.

Jared Leto as Jordan Catalano

TV Tango: If you had to go back to school and attend a fictional TV high school, which one would you choose? Why?

Molly Tarlov: I would go to the CLUELESS high school, it was shot at Marshall. You know what else what shot at Marshall? GREASE. Rydell High. I really want to go to Rydell High...but it wasn't on TV.

Can I change my mind? Liberty High [from MY SO-CALLED LIFE]. I always wanted to be Patty Chase, and of course Jordan Catalano was there.

I for sure would not want to go Palos Hills [the high school in AWKWARD.].

TV Tango: What's one talent that you have that your fans don't know about?

Molly Tarlov: I go through phases where I knit a lot. I haven't done it for a couple of years. I live in Los Angeles now; what am I going to knit, a bikini?

Cast of HAPPY ENDINGS.

TV Tango: Besides live-tweeting AWKWARD., what are some TV shows that are appointment TV?

Molly Tarlov: I love HAPPY ENDINGS on ABC.

My guilty pleasure is THE BACHELOR, THE BACHELORETTE and BACHELOR PAD. Actually, it's not a guilty pleasure. I'm proud of it.

WALKING DEAD on AMC, I love.

Casey Wilson in HAPPY ENDINGS.

TV Tango: If you could be on one TV series when you're not filming AWKWARD., what series would you choose?

Molly Tarlov: I would probably choose MODERN FAMILY. What kind of character? A nice one.

I want to be on HAPPY ENDINGS really bad. I really love Casey Wilson and could play her sister.
