Review:
A fictional early-2000s sitcom is revived (not rebooted, as the title suggests) and this sitcom follows the behind-the-scenes production. Has a similar tone to the creator’s earlier Modern Family but the setting is bound to limit its appeal to those who can tolerate television about making television.
As an aside, I believe you can judge how confident a show is in its own pilot using a metric I call “Time to Tits”. Essentially, if a show has little else to offer, it will offer nipples as early as possible. I hope Judy Greer was paid well for providing this, just over ten minutes into the pilot.
Content notes (may contain spoilers): sexual references and brief nudity
