	Save ANGEL Forum -> Gail Berman Leaving Fox
		Liguori replaces Gail Berman, a popular boss who lasted a year and was in such a hurry to leave the Fox lot last week that they still haven't come up with a name for her big new production job over at Paramount Pictures.
		Berman, a particularly capable executive with reasonably good tastes who developed shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Malcolm in the Middle" during her former life in the production ranks, wanted upscale shows- although "Stacked" suggests she may well have lost that battle.
		Berman actually joined Fox as Entertainment president nearly five years ago from Regency TV, but she reported to Sandy Grushow, who was Fox chairman.

		Berman was president of Sandollar Television, where she helped Joss Whedon develop "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" into a TV series for the WB Network.
		Gail has just been so great to Jossverse and I wish her the best of luck in her new position.
		I think it will take a lot more than just Gail's support to make the Spike telemovie or any other slayerverse project happen, so in that respect i can't see her departure will make a lot of difference.

	Fox' Gail Berman on "American Idol," Year-Round Programming and Reality Show Rip-offs -- Jack Myers Media Village (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Berman said she had been "surprised" by the ratings growth "Idol" experienced in its third season.
		Berman yesterday was also asked about Fox' year-round programming strategy that began last June and to date has yielded disappointing results.
		The focus of Berman's press conference eventually turned to the controversy that swirled throughout last summer's TCA tour, during which executives from NBC and ABC charged that Fox executives were taking other networks' reality show concepts and rushing copycat versions onto the air ahead of the originals.

	Fox believes ratings for ‘Idol’ may go down - American Idol - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Gail Berman, head of Fox’s entertainment division, told a meeting of television critics she expected ratings for the show to decline as a natural consequence of its age, even though its audience grew last year and 29 million people watched its finale.
		Berman said Fox would continue its experiment with year-round programming, although it would fine-tune how it was done and promoted.
		She also expressed disappointment at the failure of several reality-based shows the network introduced in November but said one would not be able to say the demand for reality shows had crested until the same thing happened at other networks.

	deseretnews.com \| Fox goes on offensive over theft allegations
		LOS ANGELES — Fox Entertainment president Gail Berman finally got her chance to defend herself and her network against charges they have been stealing reality shows, and her arguments boiled down to, first, everybody is afraid of us so they're attacking us.
		As for "Wife Swap" and "Trading Spouses," Berman rebutted the claim that Fox rushed their show on the air first, asserting that it was ABC's decision to delay "Wife" from spring to summer and now to fall that resulted in "Spouses," which premieres Tuesday, beating it on the air.
		She admitted they were looking for a show in the same area — which is indeed the way network TV works — but that she never dreamed Fox would be able to beat ABC to the punch.

		As Fox entertainment president, Gail Berman engineered one of the most impressive turnarounds in recent history, bringing Fox from dead last among the Big Four in adults 18-49 last fall to its probable first-ever No. 1 season finish in the demo this spring.
		When word leaked yesterday that Berman was leaving Fox for Paramount Pictures, speculation began immediately about who would succeed her.
		Berman certainly gets credit for nurturing promising shows that happen to lag in the ratings, such as "24" during its first season, “House” before it got its boost from "Idol," and “Arrested Development” through its entire existence.
