A new ad campaign for WNET (or "Thirteen," as they are presently branded) not only takes shots at the unscripted genre with fake posters for fictional reality shows, but the former cable culture channels that are now airing those shows (check the logos for the fictitious channels)--the surprisi

Thinking back to Lawrence's interview with Marc Maron last year, he spoke about basically pitching several new shows to networks alongside new talent, with the goal of shepherding new people into the position of showrunner. I'd have to go back and listen to the entire interview again, but I believe

The Millie Hart/Joey Lawrence sitcom (from a walk-on on--I hate to admit it--"Splash," that seems to be Melissa Joan Hart's nickname these days) has been picked up for a fourth season by ABCFAM before its third season even starts later in June, getting it up to 100 episodes and syndication: htt

But Coyle's production method is infinitely better than anything Fox has ever done on a baseball broadcast. Fox treats the game itself as secondary to whatever they want to do in the broadcast (in-game coaching interviews are Exhibit A). Coyle let the game speak for itself. I mean, look at how Fox

Let's say that Harry Coyle's style gets passed down to the next group of directors. And sooner or later, Fox seems to influence everyone else--probably NBC would've eventually become Foxified. Even Ebersol gave up on score boxes eventually. And over in another division, everyone else started doi

It depends on which alternate universe you want to play in: does NBC never lose the baseball contract or do they go after it in 2000 with Fox to keep what was the status quo? In the former, Harry Coyle's style is passed down to the next generation of producers, and we have a far more muted style t
