Any idea how much of the inside baseball of scripted TV was known to the general public before stuff like Seinfeld and Pulp Fiction? They wouldn't have had to explain that stuff if it was well known or was that part of the joke?
I mean the notion of a “showrunner” didn’t start to break through until the late 90s (of course until the 80s it was often effectively editor for a bunch of unconnected freelance scripts)
