I always seem to be off-line on big news days, and so today I am playing catch-up.
It is indeed heartening to see Mr. Thomas being tug-of-warred by two competing networks, as he is one of the hottest, most sought after and creative producers around.
Furthermore, he still has a slim shot at a "Big Shots" renewal (though hopes are slim on that one), as well as potential pick-ups of his speculative caterer sitcom pilot and his carryforward Warner Television "Veronica Mars: FBI" pilot.
With a few pick-ups for this upcoming season, Mr. Thomas could assume the exalted status that creator-producers Mr. David Kelly and Mr. Spelling once had, with series sprinkled across several networks.
