Show-runner/director profile - Matana McIntire

Shonda Rhimes is a show-runner mogul in television, and one of my idols. She has made an incredible impact of the type of television aired today, starting with her hit show Grey's anatomy. Following, she has Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder and now the newest show currently airing, The Catch. Granted, the last two shows she only executive produces, but why does she need to write if she has already established an empire under her name at ABC.

Show running for TV is kind of like the equivalent of a Director of a movie, right?
