Hollywood Reporter, June 13, 2007:
"Veteran comedy director James Burrows, who helmed the pilot for Fox's upcoming comedy series 'Back to You,' has come aboard the show as an Executive Producer and house Director.
"Back to You," from 20th Century Fox Television and Levitan/Lloyd Prods., stars Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton as co-anchors who reunite at a NYC TV station. Burrows joins Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd as Executive Producers on the series. He will direct most of this season's episodes."
Ironically, considering it relates to a sitcom based in a Newsroom, this must be among the most depressing news I've read in months. This is the man whose parsimonious inability to leave a camera on one shot for more than three seconds utterly crushed any chance for the Audience to enjoy the Actors hard work in 90% of Cheers' seven-season run, and in every other show for which he has inexplicably been given the same post.
If you need a black armband I still have some in stock.
