EspañolBACK TO YOU (TV SERIES)
(Redirected from Back to You)
'''Back to You''' is an upcoming American situation comedy created and executive produced by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan. The pilot was directed by James Burrows. [1] The show stars Emmy Award-winners Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton as squabbling anchors of a news program. [2]
Produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Levitan-Lloyd Productions, the series is scheduled to premiere on September 19, 2007 [3], airing on Wednesday nights at 8:00/7:00c on FOX leading out '''Til Death'' which features Heaton's former ''Everybody Loves Raymond'' co-star, Brad Garrett. [4]
The main characters of the show are Chuck Darling (Grammer) and Kelly Carr (Heaton). They were co-anchors of a Pittsburgh news program and had great on-screen chemistry, despite constant quarreling off-screen. However, Chuck left to take a job elsewhere. After an embarrassing comment he made, Chuck left that job and came back to Pittsburgh.[5][6]
In the pilot episode, Darling discovers that, to his great surprise, he is the father of Carr's young daughter, the result of a one-time indiscretion.
This is Grammer's and Heaton's second foray into a show that focuses heavily on the media: Grammer played a radio host/psychiatrist on ''Frasier'', and Heaton was Ray Romano's wife on ''Everybody Loves Raymond'', in which Romano's character was a sportswriter for ''Newsday''.

★ Ayda Field - Montana Diaz Herrera
Originally titled ''Action News'', it was reported in January 2007 that Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton were in talks to lead the cast of the series which only had a script commitment with 20th Century Fox Television at the time.[7] The script was reportedly a hot commodity with numerous networks interested before FOX outbid the competition and gave it a blind thirteen-episode commitment in February 2007. Upon its pick-up, it also became Levitan and Lloyd's first project under their production banner, Levitan-Lloyd Productions. Grammer and Heaton were also confirmed to star in the series in the same month.[8] It was renamed ''Back to You'' in April 2007 due to the fact that Pittsburgh has a real life Channel 4 ''Action News''. The series was ''officially'' greenlit on May 11, 2007. James Burrows who directed the first hour of the show joined the staff as an executive producer in June 2007.[9]
''Back To You'' is filmed on Wednesday's, at 20th Century Fox Studios in Los Angeles, California.[10]
After the first two leads were found, Paul Campbell and Aimee Garcia were originally cast as Ryan Church and Montana Diaz Herrera respectively in February 2007 but the roles were re-cast in April 2007 with Josh Gad and Ayda Field replacing them.[11][12] Fred Willard was also cast as Marsh McGinley in February.[11] Casting continued throughout March with Ty Burrell and Laura Marano landing the last two regular spots in the series.[14][15] There was also talk of casting Sung Hi Lee in a recurring role as Chuck Darling's love interest, but the producers decided in April to go in a different direction.
