As the Lou Grant pilot episode begins, we see Lou arriving in Los Angeles and then traveling to the LA Tribune newspaper offices. Both the tone of the music and the footage are reminiscent of Mary Richards’ journey to Minneapolis-St. Paul. You’ll also note that, while the setting and filming style are different, the character of Lou Grant is essentially the same — a credit to Asner’s acting abilities and the show’s writing.
Here, on the 30th anniversary of Lou Grant’s debut, is the pilot episode. Happy anniversary Lou… uh… Mr. Grant. Stay tuned!
