Producing Parker is a 2009 Canadian animated series about Parker Kovak, a late-20s single woman stressfully working as a producer of the most high-rated daytime Talk Show The Dee Show.

Tropes used in Producing Parker include:

Black Best Friend: Simon Nolan.
Butt Monkey
Citizenship Marriage: In "The Parker Prophecies", Parker agrees to marry her boss so he can stay in the country.
Compressed Vice: Parker's anorexia in "The Skinny On Parker".
Darkskinned Blonde: Victoria Lafayette.
- A blonde Latino lesbian in "In Dee Club".
Deadpan Snarker: Simon.
Expy: Victoria looks like Queen Latifah.
- She is pretty much Oprah.
Formerly Fat: Parker.
Genki Girl: Mimi Chiu in "A Recipe for Dee-saster".
Going Commando: Both Chicago and Dee have mentioned they sometimes go commando.
Goofy Print Underwear: In "Man Trap", Simon dances in a pair of space themed underwear.
Hartman Hips: Parker and Chicago.
Hair of Gold: Chicago Hyatt.
- Dumb Blonde: Chicago again.
Hot Pursuit
Impossible Hourglass Figure: Dee
Intellectual Animal: Massimo. Though its never stated whether the animals can talk or if only she can understand them.
- "How Green is my Parker" reveals that Massimo can speak to Parker because he can speak to all animals in their language INCLUDING HUMANS.
Jerkass: Victoria.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Dee
Kick the Dog: Dee, literally.
Les Yay: Parker and the blonde Latino lesbian.
- Chicago getting kissed and touched by a group of lesbians!
Mistaken for Gay: Parker in "In Dee Club". She believes that must be the reason why she doesn't have a steady boyfriend.
Ms. Fanservice: Chicago.
My Biological Clock Is Ticking: Parker.
Naughty Nuns / Nuns Are Funny: In "In Dee Club", Victoria neither confirms nor denies she had sexual relations with a nun at a Catholic school she attended. The nun in question is briefly seen in the news, with her eyes covered by a censor bar to remain anonymous.
Non-Human Sidekick: Parker's dog Massimo.
Not So Different: Dee and Victoria are both self-absorbed Jerkasses. Victoria just does a better job at hiding it, which makes her more of a jerkass.
Oblivious to Love: Parker is crushing on her boss Blake Bellamy who seems to be going out with a skinny French model.
Panty Shot: Chicago, oh yeah!
Poor Man's Substitute: The voice actress of Mimi Chiu seemed to be putting on her best Lauren Tom impression.
Raised by Wolves: Dee was raised by cougars.
Reused Character Design: The show's designer is really really keen on reusing character designs - and does so with actually named characters, including the show's antagonist (or #1 talk show host and Nobel Prize recipient really does moonlight as a waitress).
Ship Tease: Parker and Simon.
Show Within a Show: The Dee Show.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Parker, oh so much.
Temporary Bulk Change: In "The Skinny on Parker" Dee becomes morbidly obese and in the end gets liposuction.
The Un-Reveal: Dee's age.
Villain with Good Publicity: Victoria.
