Reply to comment by Pirateninjadad in Has there been any show TV shows or moments where META was used properly? by Birdygamer19

A lot of people are using is incorrectly in this thread. In this context it would generally mean a show about the show or shows in general. A very overt example would be The Larry Sanders show from back in the day. It’s a show about a show being made. More broadly it can be something kind of self referential like Community that heavily plays on expected tropes for sitcoms. OP is pretty heavily indicating a show like She Hulk which breaks the 4th wall but isn’t really meta until the end when the character speaks to the writer of the show.

thank you for explaining like I'm 5, that makes total sense now.

"Gary called me up and asked if I would write the theme song, I sure hope you like it, this is the part when I start to whistle, this is the theme to the Gary Shandling SHOW"!!
