Last week I did a list of the best TV Bromances, and promised a new list coming soon, so, now is the day for a new one. In this case, I´m bringing a list of the best fake shows on TV series. Some are shows withn shows, and some are just inventions that are so funny that cannot get out of this list.
Of course I forgot some, and of course I did not put one that you think is a can´t be missing. Please, help me get it right when commenting.
The Guardian did an excellent interview to Mitch Hurwitz about how to get a sitcom cancelled, based on his experience with Arrested Development, and the also ill fated Running Wilde.

1- Have a confusing title
2- Audiences love fast cars and exciting vehicles
3- Try to do too much for a 20 minute programme
4- Add a sprinkle of incest
5- First impressions are everything
6- Don’t be afraid to give characters the same names
7- Make easy jokes about minority groups
8- Squander iconic guest stars
9- Don’t bother with a laughter track
10- Audiences like nicely dressed characters. They also enjoy nudity
11- Audiences like nicely dressed characters. They also enjoy nudity
12- Make a show for British sensibilities
