Best Television Shows

Filed under: TV News

ABC has been desperately seeking a way not to lose their ‘Lost’ audience. So far, ‘Flash Forward’ and ‘V’ aren’t quite making making the cut. In Hollywood, that means it’s time to dump the old and shake it up.

Enter Patrick Moran, the man whose photo says, “Even my toenails are confident.” He will be the new head of drama at ABC Studios. As the former senior VP of drama at US studio 20th Century Fox Television, Moran’s big credits include developing ‘Glee,’ ‘Prison Break’ and ‘Bones.’

He will be replacing Josh Barry, who has been with ABC since 2000 and helped develop ‘Desperate Housewives’ and ‘Lost.’ He’s only acted as head of drama for about a year. However, in TV years, that’s 15 unsuccessful years.

Look for Moran to start developing to creative new projects to prove his worth soon. Perhaps a musical series about intelligent but quirky prison escapees who solve crimes?
