Lou Grant is a drama that aired on CBS.

Lou Grant worked at the fictitious Los Angeles Tribune daily newspaper as its city editor, a job he took after the WJM television station in Minneapolis fired him. (Though Mary Tyler Moore Show viewers were introduced to the character as a television news producer, the character noted many times during the series that he had begun his career as a print journalist.) This Lou Grant was somewhat different from the character as seen in the former Mary Tyler Moore series which this series was spun off from, in that the comedic nature of his interactions with others was toned down, given the more serious and dramatic nature of the material.
