Small Town Security Q&A - Christa Stephens
Christa Stephens from AMC's original series Small Town Security talks about trying out for American Idol and refusing to lose her Southern accent.
Q: Now that Small Town Security is back, do you have any rituals for watching it? Like, do you and friends get together and watch.
A: Me and Joan and all of us will get together and watch the shows, and we'll have little viewing parties and at my mother's as well... As far as people that I actually hang out with, that has changed because some people don't agree with the show -- I think they thought it made our town look stupid. And so it's like, I keep a tight leash on who my friends are.
Q: What is it like watching yourself? Do you ever get embarrassed?
A: Yeah. Sometimes I do. I have my blonde moments, as they say. I'm not a stupid person, but sometimes it takes me a minute to get things. I'll be like, "What? Oh." So yeah, there are times that I feel like, "Christa. Seriously."
Q: What are the perks from being on the show?
A: Dennis and I we like to mingle with the fans. I had read a comment [on Facebook] where a girl had watched Episode 2 from Season 1 and said, "The secretary sounds like she can really sing!" And when I read that, I thought, Well that was really nice and so I clicked on her name and friend-requested her... If it wasn't for our fans, we wouldn't have a show.
Q: Speaking of singing, you actually tried out for American Idol. What was that like?

Ask Joan - Small Town Security's Chief on Bathroom Etiquette and Lazy Employees
This season, Small Town Security's Chief Joan Koplan shares weekly workplace wisdom in her "Ask Joan" advice column. This week? Joan fields questions about bathroom etiquette, amorous advances, and lazy employees.
Q: How do you deal with someone who is really loud in the bathroom? Is there 'bathroom etiquette' I should follow?" -- Dizzy
A: I think if a person is loud in the bathroom, that's just the way they are. We all have peculiarities. It's OK as far as I'm concerned. If they work well in the office and they do everything else that they're supposed to do, then the bathroom thing is no big deal. I don't think there's any point to carrying on over something like that. Anybody who works for me who does an excellent job, I can excuse their quirks. For example -- and he's going to get angry at me for mentioning him, I don't give a shit -- Brian does some things that annoy me. Like, I was just sitting here and he was getting me coffee. He put some kind of stuffed animal in my face and it scared the hell out of me. When I have an argument with him about something and I know that I'm right and he's wrong, it doesn't matter. He cannot think for one minute that he's wrong and I'm right. So I just have to walk away. I do always get the last word, though, like "Kiss my ass" or "Stick it" or something. So that ends it. But Brian not only does a great job, he treats this company like it's his company. That's how devoted he is to it. So I'm willing to put up with anything that he says, because he's a wonderful human being.
Q: How do you handle whiny people at work who always want to leave early? -- Patricia Franks Martin

Small Town Security Q&A - Joan Koplan
Small Town Security's Joan Koplan talks about her sexual aura and which fellow cast member she'd take to a desert island.
Q: You've wanted to be famous your whole life. Is it everything you hoped it would be?
A: I'm somebody that's extremely conceited, and I'm a showoff and everything, but for some reason I don't feel like a big star... That's the good part of me. I don't show off with that.
Q: What's it been like watching yourself on Small Town Security?
A: It doesn't register. I don't say, Oh my God, it's you, Joan. I swear to God it's like seeing a stranger. I must be a weirdo, really.
Q: Has reaction to the show affected the behavior in the office at all? Like, did you all ever think to yourselves that you should tone it down?
A: Most of Season 1, I said that to myself, but then I thought I must be a stupid ass because if it wasn't for that, then the show wouldn't be watched by so many people. I didn't like when I peed in my pants, but I thought, well, you know, that's something that everybody was laughing at, so it's okay.
Q: How has Dennis becoming more of a man changed your relationship with him?
