A B-list sitcom star so desperate to revive her career agrees to headline a reality television series that follows her every move as she angles to keep her head above the Hollywood fray, even as she's woefully out of touch with modern show business. And in the madness that is network television, there is nothing braver than a 40-year-old ingenue who's not quite ready to give up the spotlight.

What makes a great television show? There may be as many types of excellence as there are excellent shows. Series can wow us with how broadly they changed society, from “Seinfeld” redefining American slang to “Mad Men” bearing all the hallmarks of an early-21st-century TV Golden Age to “The Oprah Winfrey Show” making daytime viewers feel part of a special club of millions. Or they can feel like closely held secrets, always ready to welcome curious viewers for the first time, like “The Leftovers” or “Enlightened.” They can bring together insights about a rapidly shifting society with humor that stands the test of time, like the shows created by Norman Lear, who died this month at age 101. And they can dazzle us with spectacle or entrance us with intimate character moments — or, if they’re “The Sopranos,” they can do both.
