[hide] *1 Story  ==Story[ Edit] == Lou Grant travels by bus from Minniapolis to Los Angeles. His marriage is stranded and he is fired at the television station WJM-TV. Grant responded to the offer of his old friend Charlie Hume, managing editor of the Los Angeles Tribune, to be chef of the city editor of this newspaper. Grant should get used to his new status and to his new residence. So he realizes that it is virtually impossible to stay in Los Angeles without a car. The city is too busy and too stretched out. The Los Angeles Tribune is the property of the wayward widow Margaret Pynchon that Grant often supports, but also regularly terugfluit. The city editors is an important part of the Trib, as the newspaper is called by the journalists, and there is a lot of Grant and his reporters expected. Its main pillars are Joe Rossi and Billie Newman. Rossi goes through the fire for a first and seems entirely by his work married. Rossi also has his problems, for example with his alcoholic father. Billie Newman is his polar opposite, she looks very vulnerable, but is a good journalist, a piece more carefully than Rossi, but less flamboyant. They work great together with photographer Dennis Price, better known as "Animal". His nickname has more to do with his looks than with his temper. Grant is also assisted by his assistant chef, Art Donovan, who long has the plague in because he has passed for the post of Chief City editors.

In most episodes we follow the journalists who have been sent by Grant on path. The writers of the series services not to address controversial topics. Issues like alcoholism, prostitution, homosexuality, the homeless were interspersed with environmental pollution and unreliable nuclear power plants. These topics were often linked to the main characters. As Rossi struggles with his alcoholic father and sees his old house doctor Arthur Lou Grant Woolrich as homeless wandering the streets. In addition to the social topics are also other news items such as fires, earthquakes and accidents highlighted. The journalists themselves are regularly in touch with plagiarism, bribery and misleading information. So for example, Rossi gets into disrepute if he passes a number of times in succession firsts that are based on wrong information. He wants so badly to be the first that he his sources only checks. ==Production[ Edit] == The series was loosely based on the adventures of Guy Talese, journalist at the New York Times, which published his newspaper in his book the history of The New York Times, The Kingdom and the Power. Another reference to the reality was the owner of the newspaper, Margaret Pynchon. Pynchon is based on Dorothy Chandler, the owner of the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post owner Katharine Graham.

The series was still in 1982 despite the high viewing figures stopped. CBS got more and more problems with Ed Asner who took up politics at the intervention of the Americans in El Salvador. Advertisers began to hooks when Asner in a press conference said he supported free elections in El Salvador, even if that would mean that Communists were chosen. ==Division Of Roles[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Furthermore, in alphabetical order by last name of the actor
