Lots more creative freedom at FOX.
Fox is UNWATCHABLE because there are SOOOOOO many LIEBERALS on it!
Umm, why would you want to bring in execs from failing networks?
Do we know whatever happened to Rita Cosby?
Early in his career at NBC, Reilly was involved with Law & Order in its first season and developed ER. He also worked at Brillstein-Grey Entertainment, where he developed shows including The Sopranos, NewsRadio, and Just Shoot Me. Before rejoining NBC in May 2004, he developed The Shield and Nip/Tuck for FX, and acquired the Denis Leary show Rescue Me for the network.
At NBC, Reilly's vocal support of The Office helped it survive it's low-rating first season. He is credited with developing hits such as My Name is Earl and Heroes, but also for critically acclaimed but low-rating shows such as 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights.
Looks like a pretty damn good track record, if you ask me.
Kevin is quoted as saying, "Now that I'm working for FOX, I've decided to change my name to Kevin O'Reilly to improve my ratings."
