Has anyone caught the film [The TV Set](http://imdb.com/title/tt0473709/) ?

A comedy at how a show goes from green lit pilot to begining of a series and the changes it goes through. Weaver is frickin’ hilarious (Catch out her speech about learning a valuable lesson by a near death experience) David Duchovny gives a great almost sad sack performance that really worked in this.

I wonder if it is really that hard to keep your vision of a project alive against “creative” Television execs.
