What it’s about. 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.
Who’s in it. The TV Set stars David Duchovny as Mike Klein, Sigourney Weaver as Lenny, Ioan Gruffudd as Richard McCallister and Judy Greer as Alice, among others.
