Why oh why, 2oth Century Fox, haven't you issued this great newspaper drama on DVD?
Long after the Mary Tyler Moore Show was issued by Fox we Lou Grant fans still wait for our favourite show, a Mary Tyler Moore spinoff, which aired on CBS from 1977 to 1982.
Surely Lou hasn't been spiked because of the sometimes controversial left-wing views of its main star, Edward Asner? OK, so advertisers were queasy about Asner 25 years ago, but surely that wouldn't be a factor now in preventing this superb show coming to DVD?
Heck, we've got full frontal nudity, foul language, drugs and unbelievable violence these days on TV - all of it being issued on DVD - and someone, somewhere is still nervous about old Lou?
Fans - if you want to see Lou Grant, please leave me a comment and I'll forward it to some folks I know at Fox.
I just gotta see Lou Grant back at the old LA Tribune City Desk, barking "Hey, Animal!"

Hello Andy,
just found your posting. And you are right, it is unbelievable that after 30 years(!), there is no trace of that wonderful TV show on DVD!
I'd love to see it again. Sometimes, here in Germany, you have re-runs of the show, but the synchronized versions do not have at all the atmosphere of the original. And the last re-run was 13 years ago, by the way, so you cannot even call it "sometimes"...
So, if you could manage to forward our wishes (and complaints ;-) to your connections at Fox, I would be very grateful.
Thanks and all the best!
