Samantha Who?  (Mondays, 9:30-10:00 p.m., ET)

DONALD TODD, co-creator/executive producer

Apart from masterminding the launch of last season's most successful new scripted series, recent highlights of Donald Todd's television work include Season One of "Ugly Betty," for which he received a Writers Guild Award, and the critically acclaimed ABC drama "Life As We Know It." During the time between those shows, Todd worked on NBC's "Inconceivable" which, interestingly enough, was also the verdict on his four ABC pilots. Todd has three kids between the ages of three and 21, so the success of this show is critical not just to himself, but possibly to the future of the world.
