	Tarses, Jay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Jay Tarses, a self-proclaimed outsider from the mainstream Hollywood television industry, achieved a reputation in the 1970s and 1980s as a "maverick" writer-producer--a maverick generally is described as brilliant, bold, outspoken, outrageous, and innovative.
		Tarses has been critically praised for introducing a bold new form of half-hour comedy series, often called character comedy or "dramedy," which achieved a radical stylistic break from the traditional sitcom formula.
		Perhaps Tarses two greatest contributions to the television industry have been his creativity in constantly pushing the limits of television style--both cinematically and narratively, and his willingness (often eagerness) to go to battle with the networks to champion the broadcasting of innovative and non-formulaic forms of narrative television at the expense of audience ratings.

	Jasneek: people who care about people
		Tarses resigned last week as president of ABC Entertainment, ending a meteoric rise that at one point made her the youngest person and only woman ever to run a network entertainment division.
		Tarses made the move to ABC in 1996 from General Electric Co.'s NBC, where as second-in-command she was the hottest prospect in Hollywood, responsible for "Mad About You" and "Friends," two comedies that helped solidify NBC's reign in prime time.
		Tarses was so sure of her standing in the company that she gave a writer for the New York Times magazine permission to follow her around on her job.

		Tarses and Patchett wrote for The Bob Newhart Show, notably penning "Death of a Fruitman" (in which a recurring character is crushed to death by a truckload of zucchini) and took over as executive producers after the third season.

	Jay Tarses at Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Tarses' one great commercial (as well as critical) success was as the executive producer and sometimes writer on "The Bob Newhart Show" (CBS, 1972-78), a sitcom more memorable for its eccentric characters and absurd situation than the warm-fuzzies the genre often delivers.
		On his own, Tarses achieved his greatest success as a sitcom creator with "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd", an affecting "dramedy" starring the splendid Blair Brown as an attractive thirtysomething divorcee navigating the complications of romance and career.
		Tarses' next TV project, "Black Tie Affair" (NBC, 1993), was a short-lived misfire that satirized 1940s film noir in a serialized format for four weeks.

	Jamie Tarses: I Never Want To Be an Exec Again! - Aug 27, 1999 - E! Online News
		In her official exit statement, Tarses, 35, said fancy-sounding stuff about how "sweeping changes in the entertainment industry" led her to believe the time was right to "move on." In interviews with reporters, Tarses says she'd just had it with never-ending rumors of her demise.
		Tarses' ABC obit was written and rewritten frequently during her three-year run at the network.
		The daughter of veteran TV producer Jay Tarses (The Days and Nights of Molly Brown), Tarses was criticized for not being wise in the ways of wooing advertisers, affiliates and reporters.

		The stars are Ted Harbert, whose new title is one ABC never had before, chairman of ABC Entertainment, and Jamie Tarses, the 32-year-old former NBC senior vice president of prime-time series, now the first woman ever to be president of anything at any broadcast network.
		She grew up in the TV business, one of three children of producer Jay Tarses.
		Friends, the jewel in Jamie Tarses' NBC crown, was the show that opened TV's family hour to sitcoms that would never get a G, or even PG, rating for family content.

		Tarses was only 32 when she was named president of ABC's entertainment division last year--the first woman to hold that title.
		But Tarses' greatest sin seems to have been that she simply didn't get along with people--in front of, and behind, the camera.
		That new show Roseanne was pitching to ABC and Tarses this spring was about her Roseanne Connor character's moving in with a fl comedian.

	TeeVee.org: Jamie Tarses Deathwatch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Tarses, of course, was the wunderkind at NBC, the executive who shepherded the development of Mad About You and Friends, turning those dubious premises into ratings bonanzas.
		So it was little wonder that ABC would take a look at Tarses, see what this seemingly talented woman had done and covet her for their very own.
		The folks at Disney became so consumed by lust for Tarses that top executive/creepy guy Michael Ovitz began spreading rumors that NBC entertainment president Don Ohlmeyer had made clumsy passes at Tarses, apparently in the hopes that a clunky rumor would force the Peacock Network to let Tarses out of her contract.

		Lauren is the fourth student this morning to interpret Amanda, and the furrows in Jay’s brow have deepened with each audition.

		With Harry Cobb’s America, Jay, a TV writer whose credits include The Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett shows and The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, is experimenting with writing and directing for the stage.

	Episode Details for "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd"
		Although there are no truly shocking surprises (no one dies, for example), I am not going to give it away; you'll have to see it for yourself.
		Suffice it to say that it is both backward and forward looking, and that creator-writer-director Jay Tarses ably demonstrates just how much his inspired touch has been missing from most of the episodes in the fourth and fifth seasons.
		Note that the episode title is a quote from Shakespeare's Henry V, although it also refers of course to the character named Harry, a jazz guitarist and teacher, whom we meet here for the first time.
