NBC Executives Dies on TV set
This is either absolutely tragic or it doesn't bode well for the new series, "Parenthood."

An NBC executive, Nora O'Brien, died Wednesday night right on the set of the TV show, a new series starring Peter Krause ("Six Feet Under").

I would call it absolutely tragic. O'Brien, who was only 44, died of a brain aneurysm.

She was a six-year exec who was the vice president of drama development. "Parenthood" is based on the 1989 Ron Howard comedy/drama about parents and their children.

As a result of the sudden death, screenings of upcoming pilots that were scheduled for Thursday were canceled, and the production of the show shut down for two days.

Vince Horiuchi loves to watch television, play video games and make fun of Hollywood executives - all while keeping an eye on his two daughters. If he isn't in a self-induced coma from watching too many episodes of "Hope & Faith," you'll find him at the local cineplex in a self-induced coma from watching "Bewitched."
