The series follows a white writer who joins the staff of a black television show, exploring themes of race, television production, and comedy. It featured a "show within a show" concept, focusing on the chaotic behind-the-scenes creation of a sitcom.


Black staff writers react badly to Tom's appointment as head writer together with his associate Jeffrey.

Wilson calls on Tom and Allison for advice after he's dumped by his high-school sweetheart.
