As real as it gets. An idealistic young writer leaves a show because it isn't realistic, and then gets her BIG CHANCE... but it might evolve into what she was trying to avoid. As a fan of 80s and 90s sitcoms, I loved watching the creation of a show with a great/used concept (guy from the wrong side of the tracks is taken in by rich people) and shows good critical acclaim and good numbers... but not as great as what everyone wants... so they change the success - as Hollywood does TIME AND TIME AGAIN! Make it funnier the network says, so they make it into 'Urkel'. If you look at the show, a lot of sitcoms recent and past are skewered. If they had used a reality-show viewpoint, it would be "The Comeback" but from the writer's view. So tragic how the network execs keep saying it is her show and the numbers are good... but it needs to be 'more.' The star becomes "The Star"... but it isn't enough. Just marvelous.
