* PantyShot: Chicago, except on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays when she goes commando. It needs to breath, according to her.

* DramaticIrony: In "Man Trap", Simon is part of a matchmaking segment and ends up choosing [[spoiler:what seems to be]] a legitimate contestant as opposed to the one that was a call girl hired by Parker because the segment was one contestant short. [[spoiler:The other contestant turns out to just be a spy for the Victoria show and the call girl disappears before picking up her check causing everyone to assume she must of went back to her day job, when she ended up actually falling for Simon and her rejection led her to swear off all men and join a convent.]]

* ArtStyleDissonance: The series's art style strongly resembles ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', but the humor is extremely raunchy.

!!This series contains examples of:

* BecomingTheMask: Mandy, the call girl who is hired to pretend to like Simon in "Man Trap", actually falls in love with him and is left in tears when he rejects her, even being too distraught to pick up her check. She's so heartbroken that she gives up on men forever and joins a convent.

* PragmaticPansexual: In ''In Dee Club'', Dee decides to pretend to be lesbian to attract more viewers.
* PrisonRape: Parodied in ''The Dee Block'': when Dee and Parker enter the prison's showers and Parker tells Dee to not drop the soap, Dee's more worried about the fact that there's no soap, nor cream, nor shampoo to speak of. Later in the episode, Simon gets snatched and taken away by three prisoners... though we later see him, naked, [[TheLoinSleepTonight sheeplishly claiming that it's the first time that happened to him]] while the three women look disappointed.

The show is about Parker Kovak (voice of Creator/KristinBooth), a single woman in her late-20s who finds herself overworked and underpaid as the producer for ''The Dee Show'', the highest-rated female-targeted daytime TalkShow on the Bellamy Broadcasting network and hosted by the decadent, self-absorbed, high-maintenance Dee (voice of Creator/KimCattrall). The series revolves around the day-to-day antics Parker faces as she puts up with Dee, gets her show on the air, and interacts with the rest of the behind-the-scenes crew of the show, including slacking writer Simon Nolan (Creator/AronAbrams), promiscuous intern Chicago Hyatt (Creator/SarahCornell), absent-minded network president Blake Bellamy (Creator/PeterKeleghan), and multi-skilled handyman Hal (Creator/DavidHuband). There's also focus on Parker's life outside of TV, where she finds companionship in her intelligent and sophisticated pet dog Massimo and her CampGay stylist and best friend Russell (both voiced by Creator/JamieWatson).
