Jim Paratore came to Warners when Time Warner bought Lorimar-Telepictures 
in the mid-90s and merged it into WB Television (along with his network 
programming counterpart at Lorimar Les Moonves)--among the many series he 
developed for Warners were Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres' talk shows 
and the televersion of TMZ (when Time Warner still owned AOL)--his 
Telepictures unit of Warners also developed many reality series, including 
the "Bachelor" franchise (now in Warner Horizon with WB's cable scripted 
series)--he later became an indie producer with a first look at Warners and 
was responsible for Bonnie Hunt and George Lopez's less successful talk 
series (for syndication and TBS, respectively):
