Line 4:
This is different from other shows-within-shows in that the show-within-a-show is also treated as "real" entertainment and broadcast as such, so that anyone turning on in the middle of that segment might think that it's a genuine talk show/panel series/light entertainment show etc. This rules out the talk radio sequences in ''[[Frasier]]'', for example, since the viewer is aware that he is looking through a camera that should not actually be in Frasier's studio.
Additionally, the show within a show needs to be a prominent part of the series rather than a short sequence seen in some episodes (such as the Tool Time segments in ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'').
A sign that a show is a Two for One Show is having full lists of [[Dramatis Personae]] for both the [[Show Within a Show]] and its frame (with a large overlap in the names of the [[Real Life]] players, of course).
