"Royal Pains"
season premiere by Suzanne
Royal Pains returns on USA Network Thursday, June 3 at 10/9c
The second season of "Royal Pains" is just as good as the first!
I saw the season premiere, "Spasticity". It picks up where the finale left off.
We get to finally meet their dad. Lots of cool stuff happens, medical and
otherwise. There are some great new guest stars, too!
If you found Evan too annoying last season, you should know that
they have toned him down quite a bit, so he is not as bad. All of the characters
basically stay the same. The big question is whether Divya will stay or not,
since she is engaged!
It's a fun, quirky comedy-drama that is great to watch in the
summer. You will enjoy it!

Paul Frank is executive producer of the hit USA Network
original series ROYAL PAINS, which premieres its second season on Thursday, June
3, 2010 at 10/9c. Paired with BURN NOTICE at 9/10c, the two shows make up one of
television’s coolest and most powerful block of summer programming – on cable OR
broadcast! ROYAL PAINS was the best performing freshman year of a cable series
ever when it premiered last summer.
Frank has been working in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. A
seasoned executive with experience on both the creative and business side, Frank
has worked as an agent, studio executive, founding partner of a multi-media
brand, and an independent producer.
Frank is currently head of television for Prospect Park, a music, television and
film management/production company. In his role, Frank serves as executive
producer on all projects and is responsible for the development and production
of television series, movies and miniseries. Frank has numerous projects in
development at ABC and TBS.
Prior to joining Prospect Park, Frank ran the television department at The Firm,
Hollywood’s most successful talent management company whose clients included
Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Martin Scorsese, Amy Adams and Snoop Dogg.
Under Frank’s leadership, The Firm’s production arm, Firm TV, produced quality
programs such as the 2008 prequel to the popular “Lonesome Dove” series of
movies, the CBS miniseries “Comanche Moon” from Pulitzer Prize and Oscar
award-winning writer Larry McMurtry. With Firm TV, Frank also executive
produced the television movie for ABC Family, “Campus Confidential.”
Upon graduation from Northwestern University in 1989, Frank started his career
as production manager for the powerhouse film marketing boutique Kaleidoscope
Films. While there, Frank supervised production and made creative and
post-production decisions for over 60 trailers and 200 television spots. In
1991, Frank embarked on a very successful run in the agency business. Starting
at Triad Artists, Frank began as an agent trainee and was quickly promoted to TV
packaging agent. In December 1992, the venerable William Morris Agency bought
Triad, and upon Frank’s move to William Morris, his career quickly took off.
Frank carved his niche as a shrewd packager, working primarily in first-run
syndication and cable series, as well as network movies and miniseries. Frank
put together a broad spectrum of projects, including powerful kid’s franchises
such as “Bill Nye The Science Guy” for Disney. He helped launch Storyline
Productions (Craig Zadan & Neil Meron) into their still unbelievably successful
niche of event movies and miniseries with projects such as “Gypsy” with Bette
Midler at CBS and “Cinderella” with Whitney Houston and Whoopi Goldberg for ABC.
In December 1995, after being pursued for some time by MPCA (Motion Picture Corp
of America) and its entrepreneurial CEO Brad Krevoy, Frank was intrigued by the
new merger of MPCA and Orion. Frank joined the new venture as executive vice
president of television and immediately began utilizing properties from the
Orion library as a basis for series development. Pilot deals were struck with
ABC for “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and “Bull Durham,” and with UPN for “Back To
School.”
In 1997, Frank was recruited to help rejuvenate the first-run syndication and
cable division at Columbia/Tri-Star, and he came on board as vice president of
comedy & drama development. Frank spearheaded the return of “Baywatch” superstar
Pamela Anderson to television, overseeing the development and production of the
hit series “VIP.” Beyond commercial successes “VIP” and “Sheena,” he also
developed several critically acclaimed series, including Showtime’s “Rude
Awakening” with Sherilyn Fenn and Lynn Redgrave, and “Strong Medicine” for
Lifetime.

With a media and entertainment career spanning nearly four decades, Frank has
amassed a diverse and impressive slate of accomplishments. Rich currently
provides consulting services for Prospect Park, a talent management and
production company focusing on music, film and television that was founded in
2008. Before his association with Prospect Park, Rich merged his brand,
advertising and marketing strategy company, Integrated Entertainment Partners (IEP),
into The Firm, one of Hollywood’s largest and most successful talent management
companies, where he was named Chairman.
Previous to founding IEP in 2003, Rich served as Chairman of C3, a partnership
with Comcast Corporation where, among other things, he acquired the E!
Entertainment Network.
Prior to that Rich was chairman of Walt Disney Television and
Telecommunications, and headed Disney’s syndication arm, Buena Vista. He was the
president of Walt Disney Studios for nearly a decade and also oversaw the
development of The Disney Channel. Before his tenure at Disney, Rich was
president of the Paramount Television Group and of Chris Craft Television, and
was also one of the founders of the USA Network, serving on their board. Under
Rich’s leadership, television and movie properties such as "Cheers," "Taxi,"
"Family Ties," "Shogun," "Winds of War," "Entertainment Tonight," "Golden
Girls," "Home Improvement," "Ellen," "Regis and Kathie Lee," "Dead Poet’s
Society," "Good Morning Vietnam," "Pretty Woman," "Father of the Bride,"
"Aladdin" and "The Lion King" achieved phenomenal success.
A native of Bayside, New York, Rich graduated from the University of Illinois
and began his career in the 1960s at the advertising agency BBDO in New York
City. He then moved to Los Angeles as sales manager at KTLA-Channel 5. He also
served as president of KCOP-Channel 13 and Chris-Craft Broadcasting.
Rich was president of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for an
unprecedented six years and a Board Member of the MPAA for eight years. He is
presently vice chairman of the American Film Institute (AFI) and he remains
active in the Television Academy and its foundation, of which he is a member of
the Board of Directors.
Additionally, Rich sits on the Board of two entrepreneurial companies:
Hyperfactory, a full-service mobile ideas, media and execution company; and
TerraCycle, an eco-friendly consumer goods company.
Rich currently splits his time between Los Angeles and Napa, California, where
he devotes himself to Frank Family Vineyards, a highly successful Napa Valley
winery he established in the 1990s.
Jeff Kwatinetz is executive producer of the hit USA
Network original series ROYAL PAINS, which premieres its second season on
Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 10/9c. Paired with BURN NOTICE at 9/10c, the two shows
make up one of television’s coolest and most powerful block of summer
programming – on cable OR broadcast! ROYAL PAINS was the best performing
freshman year of a cable series ever when it premiered last summer.
Kwatinetz is a principal partner of entertainment management and production
company Prospect Park, which he founded in December 2008. In an extremely short
time, Prospect Park is experiencing rapid success with its three major
divisions: Music, Film and Television.
Kwatinetz was previously founder and CEO of one of the largest entertainment
management companies in history, The Firm. Kwatinetz founded the company in
1997, operating out of his Malibu apartment with four employees and soon after
became the world’s dominant music management company. From inception through
late 2008 when The Firm partners elected to dissolve, Kwatinetz was responsible
for engineering the careers of world-renowned musicians, actors, writers and
directors and producing entertainment content across the recording, motion
picture and television sectors.
Kwatinetz and The Firm were the first to manage music clients as “brands” and
their roster expanded to well over 30 multi-platinum, platinum and gold artists.
Kwatinetz developed campaigns to transform artists such as Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg,
Backstreet Boys, Kelly Clarkson, Korn and Jennifer Lopez into global brands.
They discovered and established successful artists with a remarkable consistency
in a hit oriented business, over 25 times taking unknown acts to platinum sales
levels with a success rate of doing so greater than 80%. Even more remarkable,
this was accomplished in an industry with an approximate 5% success rate.
Separately, through his work with blue-chip corporations, Kwatinetz generated
over $100 million in lucrative sponsorship deals for clients and marketers.
Leveraging this music talent platform, Kwatinetz and The Firm entered into film
and television management, started a record label, and went on to become
significant producers of television and feature films. They managed the
industry’s premier list of actors, directors and writers and went on to produce
successful films doing over $500 million worldwide at the box office. The Firm
bands sold more than 500 million records worldwide and The Firm clients grossed
more than $20 billion at worldwide box offices, had 30 Academy Awards
nominations and took home seven Oscars.
Kwatinetz also conceived and was the key architect of one of the music
industry’s most historic and successful deals - the 2004 purchase of Warner
Music from Time Warner by a private equity consortium led by Thomas H. Lee
Partners and Bain Capital. The deal quickly resulted in more than a $1 billion
profit for investors and The Firm received a $15 million compensation package
for Kwatinetz’ M&A work.
Kwatinetz hypothesized that his understanding of entertainment brands and The
Firm infrastructure could be leveraged to create success in other arenas of pop
culture. Testing this, he acquired and successfully re-launched Pony, a footwear
and apparel lifestyle brand popular in the late 70s and early 80s. Under
Kwatinetz, Pony achieved an 11x increase in value when the controlling stake was
sold three years later.
The Firm helped launch and became a significant equity partner in VMG Partners,
a $325 million private equity fund focused on consumer brands.
Kwatinetz’ contributions to the field of media led to an appointment in 2007 as
an adjunct professor at his alma mater, Northwestern University, to teach a
graduate-level course annually entitled, “Developing and Marketing of
Entertainment Content.”
Kwatinetz graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctor in
1991, and holds both a master’s degree and B.S. in communications from
Northwestern University.
