‘Max Bickford’ Creators to Leave CBS Show

Nicole Yorkin and Dawn Prestwich, co-creators and co-executive producers of Viacom Inc.’s new CBS drama, “The Education of Max Bickford,” are going to leave the show because of creative differences, according to executives close to the production.

The series, which stars Richard Dreyfuss, was given a prime spot on the network’s schedule, following top-rated newsmagazine “60 Minutes” on Sunday night, but ratings have fallen somewhat since its debut. Yorkin and Prestwich declined to comment.
