Before their MGM commitment, Greenburg and Anderson had an overall deal with Paramount developing and producing television films and series. In 1995, under this agreement, Greenburg produced Firehouse, a CBS pilot about a rescue fire station in the Soho area of Manhattan. Greenburg and Anderson produced Firehouse with Tom Fontana (Homicide, Oz) on location in New York. Greenburg also produced the critically acclaimed Legend, a quirky western adventure series set in 1876 which starred Anderson as Ernest Pratt, an inked-stained wretch of a dime novelist who, reluctantly assumed the role of his own fictitious literary hero Nicodemus Legend. A Legend reunion telefilm is always in development.
Prior to Legend, in 1993, he filmed two highly rated MacGyver movies on location in London for ABC television: MacGyver: The Lost Treasure of Atlantis, and MacGyver: Trail To Doomsday.
He produced the MacGyver series from 1986 to 1992 and won many awards, including: The Environmental Media’s Continuing Commitment Award, a Vision Award, a Golden Reel Award, and TV Week’s People’s Choice Award. MacGyver went off the air on ABC with a 23 share.
He has also produced feature films: Alan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold, and the IMAX film My Strange Uncle, as well as various other television films, which include: In the Eye of a Stranger, The Vegas Strip War, and Dixie: Changing Habits.
He was born in San Antonio, Texas and grew up in Scarsdale, New York. Michael headed west to attend the University of Southern California where he graduated in 1973. Three years on the World Pro Skiing Circuit and four years as an assistant director led to his producing break in 1979 thanks to Don Ohlmeyer on the NBC Mini Series The Golden Moment. He has since produced over 350 hours of prime time television.
Greenburg and his choreographer/director wife Nikki live in Franklin, Tennessee with their children Dimitri (DJ) and Kenya.
