AntiRust: Pittsburgh in Primetime: "Very Little to Suggest It's Cool"

Look out, Don Cannon. Here comes Frazier!

Today's New York Times has a story about new shows coming out this fall. One stars the guy who played Dr. Frazier Crane, along with the wife from Everybody Loves Raymond. Oh. And it stars Pittsburgh:

Fox’s “Back to You” also uses tried and true stars. With its homely title, it’s a vintage-looking multicamera sitcom about a Pittsburgh newsroom. There’s very little to suggest it’s cool. But in the preview Thursday, the quippy, wide-faced stars — Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, both hyperaccomplished in prime time — seemed genuinely to irritate each other, in the kind of fast, feisty scenes with real payoff that TV stars like this couple can reliably deliver. If “Back to You” fails with this pedigree, the conventional sitcom really should be buried. (Please? Can we agree to that?)

Might be interesting to see what role the city would play, at least in the background.

I haven't been this excited since Mr. Belvedere.

UPDATE; Here's the show's official website. Check out that skyline! And a warning to those predisposed to be defensive: The story line is that a Pittsburgh newsman rose through the ranks in the 90s. Meaning that he got to leave Pittsburgh and go on to bigger and better things. But has now been forced to return to our humble little 'burgh.

Hi Everybody!
It seems like I know alot of you already. That seems weird, but I have been lurking as you call it for a few weeks - now its an addiction LOL! I wake up to check posts and before bed and some in between! order phentermine alcohol and phentermine

My name is Cheryl and I am 38 - almost 39 in a couple weeks (yuck!) and I live in Ontario, Canada about 2 hours north of the border. It's in the "boonies" as all my friends say and anyone that comes here! LOL. We have already had snow and probably more this week. It is a long winter, so more projects!! We have no cel phone service, one radio station - sometimes, and one TV station! I could get satellite but then I'd spend more time watching TV and not get anything done. I would like to get HGTV tho and the other decorating channels, but then you know what happens! buy phentermine online free slots

I've lived here for almost 5 years with my teenage daughter who is now 14 - 15 in Jan (another Yuck! 15!!!!)Where does the time go? The house was a hunting camp but it had insulation, septic and power, but it was very small under 500 sq ft. WE lived in one room till she was 11 in bunk beds till I carved a room out of the living room for her! It's in the middle of tons of big pine trees, so hence my username. casino gambling blackjack purchase viagra zoloft side effects and withdrawal

I have started seeing someone in Feb who I knew years before. He stopped in where I worked and he was like, what are YOU doing up here! He had been up here for 3 years too and we'd never met. He just happens to be a carpenter and that's oh so handy! This summer we added an addition on and doubled the size of the house! It's great and now my daughter has my old room, which she loves! He's also great in supporting my "habit"and helps me load and goes on hunting trips too. He even has the good idea! viagra buy cialis cheap

I worked at the local garage doing bookeeping and I left in April to start my own things! It's crazy how busy I am and how I managed to do it all before working 40 hours. I am currently selling collectibles from my Dads and Grandpa's estate on ebay. I also go to the garage sales and flea markets, auctions and wherever to get tons of 'JUNK'. Also I am restoring a building down at my moms to make into a store, hopefully open in the spring! It will be antiques, new stuff and things made from salvage - lots of the items I see on here would be great! They also give me great ideas for my stuff!! I have been inspired by your creations to look at things in new ways now, I just grabbed a patterned broken flower pot and "SAW" mosaics! online casino lunesta vs viagra buy viagra levitra substitutes

I have many projects on the go, I have to decorate, paint and redo the new spaces in the house, figure out the kitchen layout now. I have some furniture I want to refinish and I am also cleaning out a barn of my Grandpa before nov 30! It is full of stuff and when I see old shutters, old windows, old posts, spindles, wrought iron, I think of you guys and what I can do with them. I have a notebook beside my computer that I write down all that I am interested in and the great ideas. I also found out about you from googling mosaics and I'm so glad! I will keep you posted as I go! slots natural tramadol substitutes does cialis really work

I want to say that I enjoy coming here and seeing everyones efforts, You all have made me laugh and made me cry. I cant get over slowmedown and her creativity and verve for life. Haziemoons craft room transformation blew me away in its speed and idea. Loved the painted screens, always like to hear from Cait in Oz and am amazed at curbdivers attitude in adversity. All of your replies to bigfndl humbled me and made me realize that you are all a great bunch of people. Is there room for one more? free craps tips cialis overdose
