The funniest damn show that was actively hated by a large number of people.

Inside the movie making business...

Jay Mohr - "If I were you I would pee the cobb salad every day!"
Buddy Hackett! "Peter has to think you are dead... so what you do is go down to Beverly Hills and sign up with the William Morris agency!"
Illeana Douglas "Peter... I'm a whore" Peter Dragon "so you will stay the night"

only 13 episodes... but written by people that actually lived many of the jokes they included in the show.
