• Hollywood Ending

Live-Action TV

• The HBO series Entourage
• The HBO series The Comeback
• The Fox series Action
• Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

• Disney Channel show Sonny With a Chance, although instead of trendy bars and eateries a lot of the action takes place in the studio commissary, complete with Mystery Meat and a school lunch lady clone.
