Like many shows, it took a few episodes to hit its stride. Now, the show is genuinely funny and filled with terrific writing.

Underlying the caustic observations about Tinseltown superficiality is a genuine understanding of the combination of hope and bitterness that comes with unrewarded talent.

One of the best TV pilots ever produced.
