OMG!
WKRP in Cincinatti!
We used to watch that.
I can't remember a single episode as I was too young to really understand it all, but I remember the name.

My equivilant would be Drop the Dead Donkey, a show about a TV news show.
Although it was properly scripted, it was only filmed a week before it was broadcast and they held back short segments for topical news gags, recorded on the day before it went on air.
It gave the impression of almost watching a live show or stand-up.

The office administrator was a rude, arsey bitch called Joy, who hated everyone and her job, but always knew everything and had everything running on time. I wanted to be her when I grew up. I'm still do.
