A fondly remembered show
Kelsey Grammar and Patricia Heaton, two sitcom legends teamed up in this sadly short-lived sitcom set in a newsroom.
I enjoyed this show, I thought it had real potential. Not to mention an all-star writing team, many of whom had written for Grammar previously on 'Frasier'. And look at the supporting cast they assembled - Fred Willard, Ty Burrell, Josh Gad - this show deserved to stay on the air far longer than it did.
I think it was the writers strike of 07/08 that really affected this show, and also the breaks between episodes. I wasn't keen on the recasting of Gracie midway through or the loss of Ayda Field either.
This was a well written sitcom, one that wasn't afraid to be smart and warm at the same time. It was a shame it didn't last longer.
