The TV Set
2007, 88 minutes, Rated M
"A place where dreams are cancelled"
An all-star cast bites the hand that feeds them in The TV Set, a sneaky satire of network programming. As a writer named Mike (David Duchovny, The X-Files and Californication) struggles to shepherd his semi-autobiographical sitcom into development, his vision of a guy who's brought back to his home town by his brother's suicide and rediscovers his joy in life is slowly eroded by a domineering network executive named Lenny (Sigourney Weaver, Aliens) who favors trashy reality programming like Slut Wars. The rub, 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.
