 BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Fox is rolling out two "news shows": a sitcom starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton as fictional news anchors in Pittsburgh, and an unscripted show starring a former bikini model-turned-anchorwoman in Texas.
Unveiled at a Television Critics Association gathering here this week, both series are meant to deliver laughs — and ratings — but not necessarily headlines. That makes Grammer's job a whole lot easier.
"Based upon my knowledge of most television newscasting now, it has nothing do with the news anyway. ... I'm very happy to just be another performer pretending to be a performer," said Grammer, who will be on the air this fall in the series "Back to You."
