It would be sort of 'tongue in cheek' but also a constructive look at common management problems and solutions as told by the stories in some classic 60's sitcoms.There could be a few different ways to set this up.

I call it a Chef’s Drama, but of course it would have many comical elements. I would make it in the Soprano-HBO style, as in every episode is it’s own little story but the overall story continues.

The link between the songs would be the influence one artist had over the next, or vise versa.
