Listen Up
originally aired on CBS
Listen Up is an American sitcom television series that aired on CBS from September 20, 2004, until April 25, 2005. The sitcom was based loosely on the life and exploits of sportswriter Tony Kornheiser. Despite decent-to-good ratings, the show was canceled by CBS on May 18, 2005; "rising production costs" was the reason for the cancellation.
Tony Kleinman is a Philadelphia based sports show host whose sidekick is Bernie Widmer, a former NFL player. While he does talk about sports on the show and in his newspaper column, he strays away occasionally to talk about his family.
