MICHAEL GRINDON TV Executive As president of Sony Pictures Television International, Grindon, 49, exports American television programs and movies to the rest of the world. A big chunk of the division's $2 billion--plus revenue comes from licensing shows like Dawson's Creek, but the fastest-growing segment of the business is locally produced programming in countries such as Britain, Spain, France, Italy, China and Chile. Sony's first Russian show makes its debut this fall...
Pieces of April, a low-budget family dramedy starring Katie Holmes of “Dawson’s Creek,” imagines the family life of that high school loner who was always up to no good in chemistry class.

It goes into a building on the other side that is operated by a second company, Central City Synfuels. Another belt comes...
...Once, prime time had populist fun with the differences between rich and poor Americans (The Beverly Hillbillies, Good Times, Dallas). But by the late 1990s, both struggling workers and scheming, zillionaire J.R. types had become fewer, replaced by the characters in middle-class soaps (Dawson's Creek) and the cappuccino-quaffing likes of Frasier, Friends and Will & Grace; we were one nation under Starbucks...
