Looks like the prom has been cancelled.That's right. Only a few weeks after Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas joined the staff of ABC's midseason comedy Miss/Guided, the showrunner has departed the series.
The reason behind the split is said to be a shift in tone as the series, created by former Office staff writer Caroline Williams, moves towards a more overtly comedic tone.
Thomas will be replaced by That '70s Show producer Mark Hudis, who takes over as executive producer and showrunner on Miss/Guided. His other credits include NBC's never-aired The Singles Table and Cybill.
It's no loss to me as I thought the pilot for Miss/Guided was pretty dreadful, despite the presence of the luminescent Judy Greer, and I didn't ever think Rob would be a good fit for this unfunny series. Let's just hope he finds a new position more deserving of his wit and skills.
