Palladino is known for her musical taste and is very particular about her music selections and the utilization of music in her work. In an interview with OutSmart magazine, she cites her disdain for the music on most television shows. Her shows also tend to take place in small, colorful New England-type towns. Her other television credits are Roseanne (1990-1994), The Return of Jezebel James (2008), Bunheads (2012-2013). In 2017 Amy created the critically-acclaimed Amazon series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel which has won a number of Emmys and various other awards.
