What were some similar TV shows?


What were some TV shows similar to "Lou Grant"? I am thinking of hour long shows that often dealt with serious issues. The first two that come to mind are "Quincy" and "Trapper John, M.D.". "Lou Grant" might seem a little dated but is still a great show. It handle issues of the day very well and was occasionally ahead of its time. The first time I ever heard of road rage was on "Lou Grant". The show also had many outstanding guest actors.

I've never seen "Lou Grant" but you might enjoy "The Paper Chase." It's also from the late 1970s and early 1980s and deals with some serious issues.
