As the creative community tonight mourns the loss of legendary television show creator Steven Bochco, several of the writer/producers who cut their teeth on his shows and went on to great careers reminisced with Deadline on what made him so special. A common theme that explains how one man’s company could generate so many seminal dialogue-driven dramas like Hill Street Blues, La Law and NYPD Blue: Bochco was ferociously protective of the writers who worked for him, and heaven help anyone who violated that.
Ted Mann’s work with Bochco encompassed the early days of the provocative drama series NYPD Blue, as well as Brooklyn South and Civil Wars. Nicholas Wootton and Matt Olmstead came up under Bochco, and together they ran the signature series NYPD Blue after David Milch departed along with Mann and the early core of writers. Each shared some of their experiences with Bochco,...

Debuting on November 19 with a full 10-episode first season, The Art Of More certainly has more than a little of the shock of the new in it, on many levels. But art world talk aside, the first hourlong drama series from Crackle is, as my video review above says, well worth bidding on. With the high society, big money, big egos and the streets colliding, the Chuck Rose created and Gardner Stern run show has a lot of the same vibe as Empire – but with a context of its own…...

DreamWorks Television is revving up the most ambitious slate in its five-year history as a pod, fielding 21 projects set up at seven different networks.
"We were able to focus on development, and we made a concerted effort to spread our projects over all networks to have the best show for each network," said Darryl Frank, who runs DreamWorks TV with Justin Falvey.
The company's slate includes three projects based on ideas from DreamWorks co-founder Steven Spielberg as well as shows from such writers as Bruce McCulloch, Cheryl Holliday, Danny Jacobson, Rod Lurie, Walter Parkes, Wesley Strick and Gardner Stern.
"It's a mix of old friends we really respect and new writers whom (DreamWorks TV executive) Jonathan Berry identified," Falvey said.
DWTV's development skews toward comedy, a genre where the company found early success with Spin City and launched one of the first single-camera comedies, The Job.
In addition to previously announced Generations, a pilot for CBS that is now casting, DWTV has another project from Holliday -- an ensemble female comedy focusing on a return to old-fashioned parenting -- set up at NBC.
The two Holliday projects are among the six comedies in development that DWTV is co-producing with NBC Universal TV Studios, where the company is in the last year of a multiyear overall deal.
The other four are:
An untitled comedy from Jason Mulgrew and Eric Weinberg for NBC about a twentysomething New York man who decides to retire while he is still young and can enjoy life.
Big Ed, about a larger-than-life car dealer who must surrender control of his automotive empire to a Japanese businessman, also for NBC. It was created by Jeff Martin.
An untitled comedy from Mark Reisman for NBC about a man who inspires everyone with his outlook on life after he wakes up from a 10-year coma.
