The TV Set
- Comedy
As a writer named Mike struggles to shepherd his semi-autobiographical sitcom into development, his vision is slowly eroded by a domineering network executive named Lenny who favors trashy reality programming. The irony, of course, is that every crass suggestion Lenny makes improves the show's response from test audiences and brings the show a step closer to getting on the air.
The TV Set is a 2007 comedy that follows a screenwriter fighting to preserve his vision as a network executive systematically dismantles it during sitcom development. Released on April 6, 2007, the film is a satirical take on the clash between artistic integrity and commercial television demands.
