In the ‘90s, the local TV news scene in Pittsburgh was dominated by one team: CHUCK DARLING (Kelsey Grammer, “Frasier,” “Cheers”) and KELLY CARR (Patricia Heaton, “Everybody Loves Raymond”).

For those from the 'Burgh, this sounds like a takeoff of the old Mike (Hambrick) and Edie (Tarbox) newscast on WPXI (Channel 11) in the early 1990s - only it was the female anchor who moved up and out.

For those out of the 'Burgh, Edie Tarbox was/is E.D. Hill, formerly E.D. Donahey, most recently the cohost of the Fox News morning show with Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade.

I love Patricia Heaton (can't imagine how tough it has been being a vocal pro-life female in Hollywood), so I hope this show is a hit. I also don't watch network TV anymore, but I may have to give this a look.

Shows set within tv newsrooms aren’t new but this one might have promise. The Mary Tyler Moore show is the leading example and there was a short lived show called Goodnight Beantown with Bill Bixby but I never watched it. This one isn’t a big stretch for Grammar since Frasier was half set in a radio station.

Both Patricia Heaton and E.D.Hill were members of the Delta Gamma Sorority at the University of Houston.

Coincidence?

I don't think so.
