His co-star, Breckin Meyer, who actually penned the respective installment, expanded on it to Zap2It, "There's no question whether he's up for it," Meyer said about his co-star "He's overdue. He's been talking about directing since NYPD Blue days. It wasn't like he just showed up. It was never like he looked over and didn't seem like he knew exactly like he was doing."

"When they showed me,"Meyer said about the episode, "it was slated to be the one he was going to direct, I was like, 'I can't not.' I love the idea of it being written and directed by Franklin and Bash."

Meyer had previously written for the Franklin & Bash, but this was Gosselaar's first time directing. Gosselaar also joked about the coincidence of Meyer writing the episode he's directed. "We've always joked," Gosselaar said," 'Oh, you're not the director; you're not the writer.' But we are there all the time, so we do know what the director wants; we know what the writers want, what the producers want. Now, it' just that I have that title. I can walk up to an actor and say, 'Do it this way,' and they actually have to listen to me."

Franklin and Bash just came back to TNT last week for its fourth season. Meyer also said that this season and airs Wednesdays on TNT at 10 p.m. ET.
