“The jokes are things people shooting a pilot might actually say; the telling episodes of vanity or stupidity are entirely believable.”
—A.O. Scott, New York Times  [Full Review →]

“Call me crazy, but there's a lot more going on in The TV Set than first meets the eye. You'll have major fun at this movie. But what makes it something special is the way [director] Kasdan laces the laughs with a sting.”
—Peter Travers, Rolling Stone  [Full Review →]

“A wickedly funny satire about the vast wasteland takes the position that shows aren't born dumb. They get that way because of network meddling and a widely held assumption that audiences prefer pabulum.”
—Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle  [Full Review →]

Synopsis

A hair-raising comedy of art and compromise, THE TV SET follows an idealistic writer (Duchovny), as he tries to navigate his TV pilot down the mine-laden path from script, through production, to the madness of prime-time scheduling – all while trying to stay true to his vision. Along the way he has to juggle the agendas of a headstrong network president (Weaver), volatile young stars, a pregnant wife, and an ever-optimistic personal manager.

Written and Directed by Jake Kasdan
USA, 2007
