Showtime, repeated constantly starting July 9
Matt LeBlanc plays Matt LeBlanc in this hilarious satire of Hollywood sitcom production. Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig play Sean and Beverly Lincoln, two British TV writers whose hit BBC sitcom is being adapted for American audiences. Despite bearing no resemblance to the show’s original star (the aging, portly Richard Griffiths), LeBlanc is cast – to the Lincoln’s chagrin. LeBlanc is better than he has ever been playing a likable Hollywood semi-talent, and Mangan and Greig are wonderful parodies of arrogant, superior Brits trapped in the cultural black hole of Hollywood. HBO’s Veep is the only pay-cable comedy that is funnier.
