In 1999, Mehlman created, produced and co-wrote the sitcom "It's Like, You Know...", which was primarily a bitter satire of life in Los Angeles and the Hollywood notables and idle rich who live there, as seen through the eyes of Manhattan writer, Garment (played by Chris Eigeman). The show was often described as a Los Angeles version of "Seinfeld". Despite being nominated for "New Program of the Year" at the Television Critics Association Awards in 1999, the show was canceled by ABC after 26 episodes, mostly to clear more time slots for "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?".
