“L.A. Law” co-creator Terry Louise Fisher, the supervising producer of the NBC hit series until she had a falling-out with producer Steven Bochco, is relocating from 20th Century Fox to Walt Disney Productions, it was announced Sunday. Fisher’s production company, Fisher Entertainment, has signed a three-year exclusive contract to develop theatrical and television projects with Disney, according to studio president Richard Frank.
