Did they ever do an episode like the one in “Leverage” from the perspective of a camera crew following them around as they tried to do their jobs, while the characters kept trying to find ways to dodge the cameras and crews while providing inserted commentary (from “afterward”) complete with barely-suppressed comments and details about how they were trying to do their “jobs” while under scrutiny?
Because I thought the “Leverage” episode doing that was simply hilarious!
Well they did “a movie in a TV show” episode once, Garry Shandling and Tea Leoni as the fictional movie Fox Mulder and Dana Sully respectively ...it was called “Hollywood A.D.” The “real” Fox and Scully hated the movie’s comical portrayal while the other “real” major characters from the show loved it...that’s as close as I can think of....
The “X-Cops” episode had Fox and Scully “play” to the camera and act as though it was a “real” “Cops” episode..
