In return, the Brits get to enjoy snarky missives from their expats about how ludicrous Hollywood can be. In that vein, BBC TV presenter Louis Theroux has produced a series of offbeat documentaries about Southern California called LA Stories.

The Business
In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
