Smallscreen - Hollywood Residential

Similar to "The Office", the single-camera comedy borrows a bit of concept from HBO’s "The Larry Sanders show," IFC’s "The Business" and a whole bunch of home improvement shows - “Hollywood Residential” is one od Starz better original series.

The show centers on the exploits of slightly bitter striving actor, Tony King (Adam Paul), who is paying the bills with his tv handyman gig as he performs successful celebrity home makeovers, ostensibly.

He’s completely out of his depth and regularly explodes with a salty sailor’s litany of curses while he nearly maims himself enacting even the simplest home repairs.  

King's lacking of power tool skills is bested by his green-with-envy maneuverings of his celebrity charges, mercilessly pumped for information as he shamelessly self-promotes himself between takes for any potential “real” spill-over acting work.
