Ryan Murphy on Fox-Disney Merger: 'I Thought I Would Be Buried on the Fox Lot'Disney will cancel everything Ryan Murphy makes except for American Horror Story and American Crime Story. OR... Disney could actually make Ryan Murphy the new Shonda Rimes (ABC is dominated with Shonda Rimes shows and more and more are added every single year but Shonda is leaving them soon for Netflix so maybe Ryan Murphy can carry the torch?). I mean Disney will own all of Fox TV studio's IPs and could decide to make them Hulu originals or put them on ABC. And they will also own FX so they could put more of his shows on there too.
Murphy also said that he received personal calls from both Rupert Murdoch and Bob Iger when news of the deal first broke. "I said point blank the stuff I do is not Disney and I'm not interested in that and I'm concerned about that. 'Am I going to have put Mickey Mouse in "American Horror Story?"' [Iger] said no and the reason Disney is buying Fox is that they believed in the assets and the executives and the creators."
Murphy, whose overall deal expires later this year, said he was taking a wait-and-see attitude to his own future. "I'm interested to see what the company is going to look like before I make any decisions," he said. "I've decided to wait and sit back and talk to my friends who are my bosses and see what's happening to them, and make a decision once we see what's happening."

I actually liked it so this sucks.
Not that I find Adalian's argument flawless, but I think that a channel like NBC would have renewed it. Or at least give it a better shot, see Great News and Trial & Error.He doesn't have a strong argument. It basically means reviews are out of sync with viewer expectations.
