Actually, I was thinking American Chopper. "Boss" complains about the laziness of the workers while never actually doing anything, lazy workers complain about the boss for being a tyrant. Yet they all still manage to find the time to go out and go skydiving or drive tanks or... All the while they still wind up managing to hit the self-imposed deadlines.
More made for TV drama when the real work gets done when the cameras aren't rolling.
