Back on June 23rd I had a chance to spend the day on the set of Leverage. They were in the process of shooting the seventh episode of season two, which airs tomorrow night, Wednesday, August 26th. This was originally going to be the summer finale episode, but TNT recently decided to extend the summer run by two episodes.
During the set visit, Joseph Dilworth from PopCultureZoo.com and I got a chance to talk with John Rogers, who is a writer, executive producer and co-creator of the show. In total we talked to him for a little over 26 minutes. I had a great time, cause all you had to do was barely mention something and he would be off and running. Also, had a chance to interview Christian Kane.

- Why the show is so successful
