Company Town
The setting is life within the entertainment industry. Action takes place on the back side of three-wall sets and in trendy bars and eateries. Provides a good setting for explaining or lampooning the industry.
Examples of Company Town include:
Film
- Singin in The Rain
- Kiss Me, Kate
- Hollywood Ending
Live-Action TV
- The HBO series Entourage
- The HBO series The Comeback
- The Fox series Action
- Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
- Remember WENN
- Thirty Rock
- Disney Channel show Sonny With a Chance, although instead of trendy bars and eateries a lot of the action takes place in the studio commissary, complete with Mystery Meat and a school lunch lady clone.
