Prolific producers Mike Tollin and Brian Robbins have signed a multiyear production deal with Touchstone Television, leaving Warner Bros. Television after four years.
Tollin/Robbins Productions this year has been a top producer for The WB Television Network, with three shows currently on the air: Smallville, What I Like About You and Black Sash.
Tollin/Robbins also produced Birds of Prey for The WB, but that show was canceled in December.
For the fall, Tollin/Robbins has four pilots in production: Better Days for ABC; I’m with Her, also for ABC; an untitled comedy for Fox; and One Tree Hill for The WB.
In cable, the team produces All That and Nick Cannon for Nickelodeon and Slamball for The New TNN.
Tollin/Robbins has also produced two feature films, Big Fat Liar and Varsity Blues.

"That's the upfronts for you. The version of network history you get here is like state photography in Stalinist-era Russia, with programs that fell from grace expunged from official memory. There will be scant mention, as the networks announce this fall's surefire hits, of Birds of Prey, Hidden Hills, That Was Then, girls club or any of last fall's surefire hits.
