Review of The TV Set (2007) by Rochelle G — 11 Feb 2010

Agent Mulder (don't call him David Duchovny, it simply isn't right) is a writer and has pitched a new television show to a network. It gets picked up, much to his excitement, but that excitement turns to frustration as the network executives butt in and want to practically gut the show, turning it into yet another raunch fueled, vapid comedy. Mulder battles it all the way, and he does so without the assistance of Scully.

There's plenty of laughs that, for anyone familiar with the fail that is prime time network sitcoms, are awesome. Not only does the show get mutated into something terrible, we get to see the actors in it change for the worse, developing egos before the program even gets chosen for airing. Good length to it all, nothing is stretched out needlessly and it isn't too quick.
