A friend of mine is a line producer for television. Her job sounds like a stressful management job involving lots of middlemen, coordination, miscommunication, and corporate shenanigans. There are writers, directors, actors, and other creative people involved; but, as with anything else, the bulk of people are various forms of social glue just barely holding the thing together. I guess she at least can take pride when the show finishes production, and sometimes airs.
