Arrested Development

When the number of episodes was cut from 24 to 13 in season 3, they made it a plot point that the housing development the family was supposed the build was also cut to 13 houses. Michael complaining about that is the writers complaining about the cut episodes.

When the series was on threat of cancellation in season 3 there is a meta reference to The Bluth Company seeking a buyout from the Home Buyers Organization. (HBO)

They had the plans drawn up and everything!

(Well, that wasn't true, but they would have!)

Arrested development season three is this first thing that came to my mind. Knowing what was happening at the time really makes season 3 a lot more fun.
