What did Francis Ford Coppola actually do on this show?
I know he is listed as an Exec. Producer, but did he even know this show aired? What were his contributions? Did he help in any way?
I'd love more information on this if anyone has it.
probably helped arrange finance, having a known name on a show also appeases the networks. actual day to day probably next to nothing. but on the planning side he would be there setting up the budget.
i don't know for certain, but that is typically what is happening.
