EGOTISTICAL NEWS ANCHOR CHUCK DARLING IS REUNITED WITH HIS FORMER, AND
STILL UPTIGHT, CO-ANCHOR KELLY CARR AT PITTSBURGH NEWS STATION WURG ON THE
SEASON PREMIERE OF “BACK TO YOU” WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, ON FOX
In the ‘90s, Chuck Darling (Kelsey Grammer) and Kelly Carr (Patricia
Heaton) had dominated the local TV news scene in Pittsburgh. While they
had primetime news chemistry on-screen, off-screen Chuck was a bit of a
self-centered womanizer, and Kelly a bit of an uptight know-it-all. When
Chuck grabbed the chance to move up to a larger market, no tears were
shed. But after an embarrassing on-air tirade ended up on the Internet,
Chuck found himself on the downswing career-wise. He even questioned
whether his lifestyle of chasing women and living in hotels was as
exciting as it used to be. So when he gets the call to return to
Pittsburgh to reunite with Kelly and try to take the newscast back to No.
1, it’s an offer he can’t refuse. Back in Pittsburgh, Chuck must adapt
to a new, chaotic newsroom. In addition to Kelly, he re-teams with
familiar faces including Marsh McGinley (Fred Willard), the affable,
endlessly inappropriate sports anchor, and Gary Crezyzewski (Ty Burrell),
the perennially put-upon field reporter who always seems to get left out
in the cold; and he has a few new coworkers: Ryan Church (Josh Gad), the
under-qualified, overstressed news director, and Montana Diaz Herrera (Ayda
Field), the perky, sexy, somewhat inept weather anchor. But perhaps the
biggest change is that Kelly is now single mom to 10-year-old Gracie
(Laura Marano). With ego aplenty, Chuck and his former partner Kelly once
made primetime news magic, but they wonder if they can make it happen
again in the “Pilot” episode of BACK TO YOU premiering Wednesday,
Sept. 19 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (BTY-101) (TV-14 D, L)
