Local News + Sitcom = Gold, Jerry, Gold.

We love local news in fiction form (one of our favorite movies is Anchorman, but my favorite fictional weather man is David Spritz of The Weather Man). So we are really excited about Fox's new fall show Back to You, featuring Kelsey Grammar and Patricia Heaton as local TV anchors. As far as we can tell, a sitcom starring Grammar and Heaton will be at least good enough not to get canceled, but it should be better than that. Any work of TV or film making fun of local TV news has to be good; that's a scientific fact.
