Howard J. Morris is the cocreator and coshowrunner of the Netflix hit Grace and Frankie. He’s also created two shows you’ve never heard of, but they were good. Trust him. Holding the Baby on Fox, and In Case of Emergency on ABC, which was on opposite American Idol during the Sanjaya craze, so Howard had to explain to his then six-year-old son, why America would rather watch a boy sing poorly, then watch Daddy’s show. It was an important lesson in showbusiness that every six-year-old should learn. Howard’s most important show business lesson came when a studio executive called to tell him how much he loved his pilot, exclaiming, “It’s the most original thing I’ve ever read. It’s just like Dharma and Greg!”
