Possibly an allusion to the Sorkin project on Lucy and Desi?

PGage, to Marti Lawrence and Kevin M, June 8th:
I watched this a few weeks ago, and really liked it. I don’t really understand
Kevin’s critique, unless he is being sarcastic. The male characters seem fairly
drawn to me too.
There was something about the show that irritated me. Unlike all the hand
wringing about distortions of fact in the HBO Lakers series, that mostly did
not bother me very much (in context of it’s almost magical realism that clearly
identifies itself as a caricature) Julia indulges in a kind of high minded,
well intentioned distortion that really irritates me. A key supporting
character is an African American woman who is shown as an associate producer
whose idea it was to syndicate the show.
Obviously, there was no AA producer at WGBH in the early 1960s. I get that they
wanted to avoid criticism that the series was #sowhite, and wanted a way to
explore racial issues, but pretending that racist Boston in 1962 was dealing
with race at a level of say New York City in 1992 is IMO worse than ignoring
race completely- especially when ignoring race completely would likely be
closer to an accurate telling of the story.
