Sarlanis is paving a new era for the networks under his purview. He led the revival of “Friday Night Vibes” at TBS to celebrate popular films with diverse voices. Sarah Silverman’s “Stupid Pet Tricks” was the highest-rated premiere of a TBS original in three years when it debuted in February, and ID’s “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” sparked a call for systematic change in the industry for young actors and their families. He applauds “Fellow Travelers” as a perfect piece of television that shows LGBTQ+ characters with contextual depth and tells a story that’s emotional and fascinating. “It offers an entire generation of LGBTQ+ viewers a poignant glimpse into the brave yet silent shoulders upon which we stand,” he says.
