The Ratings Game (1984)

New Jersey trucking magnate Danny DeVito arrives in Hollywood determined to make it big writing scripts for television. Despite being turned away by almost all the major networks, he manages to sell a series and make it big with the help of his girlfriend Rhea Perlman, an underappreciated employee at the biggest ratings company. As director, DeVito plays to his strengths here and he works delightfully with wife Perlman. It offers plenty to amuse with its occasionally scathing view into the television industry, especially when the networks had more power.
