In 1978, he moved to MTM Enterprises, who after several attempts gave him carte Blanche to create a show similar to Fort Apache the Bronx (1981) ("Hill Street Blues" (1981)_ ). In 1985, MTM fired him, in part for his inability to keep HSB on budget. After creating "L.A. Law" (1986) and "Doogie Howser, M.D." (1989) for NBC, he struck a $15M deal with ABC in 1987 to create 10 series pilots over 10 years.
