He is a producer of content for network television. I can not find a
definitive list of shows he has actually run, but I don't think he has
served as an actual show runner since Lost (he may have run the first
season of Fringe). He wrote several of the episodes of Undercovers and I
think Revolution.

He is also a very successful writer, director and producer of feature
films, and if you want to argue that these projects have been more
successful than his television projects over the last decade or so I would
agree. But I suspect he is showing a profit on his last eight television
projects, and while these may be less than stellar, they are as good or
better as the average in that industry and I don't see any reason why he
needs to get out of the business of producing TV content.
