Alas, universities today are not that perfect. At its most imperfect, the apprenticeship model has been perverted into a cheap labor source for the university. In a difficult economy, graduate students are forced to supplement meager stipends with more teaching-assistant work, little of which is managed in the apprentice-like manner it is supposed to be.

Making fun of someone's baklava may be cruel inside the Greek community, but it's not one of the cutting, hate-tinged riffs so many sitcom characters display. "The challenge is being funny without being cheap," she says. "We all genuinely like each other and don't want to be funny at each other's expense." It's difficult not to rely on sitcom conventions when CBS pushed the premiere date forward a few weeks to get the show out in time for sweeps...
