LOU GRANT: MARATHON (TV)
Summary
One in this series of dramas about a Los Angeles newspaper, its staff, and city editor Lou Grant. In this episode, the Tribune staff works around the clock to cover a breaking story about a tunnel collapse. As Art Donovan contemplates leaving the paper to accept a desirable job offer from the governor, the newsroom is caught understaffed on a busy news day. The tunnel story unfolds as rescue crews are sent in to save construction workers and archaeology students trapped inside. Meanwhile, a "human fly" is scaling a downtown building; a new intern at the paper is being trained; a group of Swedish businessmen are touring the Tribune; and Lou is repeatedly accosted by an unstable visitor. Commercials deleted. (Includes approximately three commercial blackouts.)
Cataloging of this program was made possible by Grant Tinker in honor of Ed Asner.
