Comments on: ABC President Stephen McPherson Abruptly Resigns http://www.diszine.com/content/abc-president-stephen-mcpherson-abruptly-resigns A Magazine Dedicated to Disney Fans Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:23:32 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: lsb http://www.diszine.com/content/abc-president-stephen-mcpherson-abruptly-resigns/comment-page-1#comment-1161 lsb Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:34:26 +0000 http://www.diszine.com/?p=2374#comment-1161 He is an excellent programmer, he took Grey's Anatomy from Sunday night and put it opposite the number one show in broadcast TV CSI and it was the right move Grey's won the timeslot, Brothers & Sisters was his baby that was a hit. As a grade I would have to give him a C not great, but, not a disaster either. I wish he would have chosen more shows from Disney's ABC Studios and a whole lot less from other studios. Disney is synonymous with synergy, all divisions working together. It seems it wasn’t working that way with ABC and Disney.

That being said, ABC's fortunes look less than ideal at the moment, so I'm not sure what kind of grade we should give McPherson. LSB:

It was McPherson that almost pulled the plug on Lost because of the 10 million 2 hour pilot cost, it was Lloyd Braun that pushed forward, Braun was let go and McPherson took over and fell into 3 hits in one season. Since then he really hasn't has a hit, except for Modern Family, but many misses, this season alone The Forgotten, Eastwick, Hank. Maybe now ABC can go in a different direction.

He was at least in the building during those successes. Marshall,

I have your antipathy for Big Brother etc, but you have to admit it’s a pretty short leash for the same guy who brought you “Desperate Housewives,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Dancing with the Stars” and “Lost.”

He was at least in the building during those successes.

Eithher that or watch "Big Brother" forever.
