We Just wrapped several new shows for Food Network: SWEET GENIUS, NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR, and RACHAEL RAY VS. GUY FIERI, plus a new show for Lifetime called CATWALK. We designed seasons 1 and 2 of NEWLYWEDS for ABC, as well as HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: GET IN THE PICTURE, and SHAQ VS. For VH1. We designed YOU’RE CUT OFF season’s 1 and 2 and SCOTT BAIO IS SINGLE AND 45. TV land commissioned SHE’S GOT THE LOOK and we just finished Bet’s SUNDAY BEST and FAMILY CREWS. After working on BIGGEST LOSER seasons 1-6, the Emmy wining ENDURANCE, DR. PHIL’S ROAD SHOW, and seasons 4-9 of HELL’S KITCHEN.
