"To have weekly finishes of first and dead last during its run"
I have no idea what that could possibly mean. Is this some idiom I don't know? Rodrigo de Salvo Braz (talk) 23:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
I'm just guessing, but maybe there was a week when 'Lou Grant' was number one in the Nielsen ratings, and at some point, there was a week when it was last in the Nielsen ratings. But a citation is certainly needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.131.142.97 (talk) 21:46, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Irony?
Why is it ironic that the final episode of this show ran on the same day USA Today debuted?Schaddm 04:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- US Today has often been cited as causing or at least starting the demise of the traditional, locally owned newspaper in favor of a homogenized, nationally (or even internationally) owned paper. It is indeed ironic that a show about such a traditional paper would end the day that this paper began publication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.66.32 (talk) 01:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Joseph Farah...Coach of the actors on the newspaper biz?
Am I reading this right? A show starring Lou Grant having the future WorldNetDaily founder on the staff? WAVY 10 21:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Qualification?
This article states: "Unusual in American television, this drama series was a spinoff from a sitcom..." Doubtful that many dramatic series in any market around the world was ever based on a previous comedy series, so why the qualification of "American" television? If not, please provide a list or a citation. Sounds like original research to this reader. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.66.32 (talk) 01:45, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
