"Roughly nine years after walking through that first door, finally get a chance to create your hit sitcom. But it won't really be yours. You have no creative clout. Your employers have lots of clout so, ignoring the priceless lesson, rely on their series premise, their casting choices and their comic instincts. Your hit sitcom is cancelled in five weeks. Your employer calls it a "noble failure", but noble isn't the word used in any of the reviews. The word putrid is used twice."

That was Mike & Molly http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1608180/ 8.4 on IMDb




Can't be Mike and Molly, since he mentions 9 years after walking through. It has to be something in the 92-93 period.

That would also fit the timeline he seems to be following.


I think it has to be "Frannie's Turn". Only six episodes ever created, he had an executive producer credit, from 1992.


Another reason it's not Mike and Molly is because that show's already been picked up for the full season.


Yet another reason is because this piece is from 2004.
