But what kept him in the job was that he was considered creatively talented. However, under his watch, ABC has failed to launch a tentpole drama to succeed the departing Lost or the aging Desperate Housewives.As is very often the case, Lost, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy were all developed by ex-ABC Entertainment President Lloyd Braun and his partner Susan Lyne. Braun was forced out of his position as President in 2004 and replaced by McPherson. Guess who got the credit?
It will be interesting, and very telling, to see who is tapped to replace him.
UPDATE: ABC Family's Paul Lee in as President. I'm not a fan of the programming, but there's no denying that ABC Family has turned around under his leadership.
