Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Before "Hill Street Blues" and "St. Elsewhere" was the newspaper drama "Lou Grant," an Emmy award-winning show that was one of the most intelligent on television. The writing was consistently high, as was the acting. The whole cast from Ed Asner on down was terrific. (Fans of "The Sopranos" might enjoy seeing Nancy Marchand, who played Tony's mother, as newspaper owner Mrs. Pynchon.)
The show tackled tough subjects, like privacy issues, child abuse, survivalists (in an episode starring Ed Harris). It ran from 1977 to 1982, and without it, later quality MTM dramas like 'Hill Street' and "St. Elsewhere" wouldn't have happened. Sadly, only three videos were released of the series; with so many bad TV series getting the DVD treatment, let's hope this gets the release it deserves.
