James L. Brooks Signs With WME

by: Sammy Mink

Writer/producer James L. Brooks has inked with WME. Best known for his TV shows, Brooks has an unparalleled roster of series to his name going all the way back to the 70’s. Brooks created “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” (a personal favorite), which led to two spinoff series “Rhoda” and “Lou Grant.” From there he co-created “Taxi” and was one of the driving forces behind “The Simpsons,” which he stayed on board to write and executive produce. On the film side of things, Brooks wrote and directed “Terms of Endearment,” “Broadcast News” and “As Good As It Gets,” among others.
