Good Title, like most of the episodes, Adam Under the Influence & Mrs P's Influence. Nice to see the 'Adam' character more, the actor always hints at a full character but only gets a chance to show with the occasional aside.
Rossi's wounds from the previous episode healed up pretty quickly. Though, to suspend disbelief, maybe in storyline a lot of time passed between the episodes?
The time between episodes isn't ever specified or implied to be a fixed value. It's not like every episode is one day in their lives. The episodes pop up when an episode-worthy event happens
Other than him mentioning he previously worked in television in Minneapolis, there is no connection at all with the MTM show. I guess we are to believe once you take Ted out of the picture, he is a different guy.
Very odd audio track. The business men talking at the bar when Margaret comes in to nail them is the excat same audio track they used when the business men sat down for lunch with Margaret.
I can see why Adam's got a drinking problem, he's got like 30 jobs (airport PA announcer, air traffic control, police dispatcher, fire department dispatcher, radio DJ, etc).
I have been binge watching for several days now. I have two more episodes to go from season 3 and then the last two seasons. I love this show so much!

*Wow, this aired March 1980 during my senior year in High school right before I took my first drink. My sobriety date is Jan 16, 1992.*
*I graduated in 1980 as well! Plus, my sobriety date is Jan. 1, 1995!*
I turned 31 that month. My sobriety date is Jan. 2, 2008. It's good to enjoy being old :)
'Would you like me to cancel your subscription?'... great comeback Mrs P !
If you have watched multiple episodes of Lou Grant, notice how Adam's voice is used anytime they need a background TV reporter or announcer.
This episode must be in response to the building of the infamous Denver International Airport, a truly evil undertaking!
This is better than watching the news!
Adam's voice was used in many roles on this show. He was usually the background TV reporter that was never seen but only heard.

Well , they hit another out of the park . Didn't they ?
Hey, what about Lou's bottle in his drawer on the MTM show?
Early 70s: Day drinking played for a joke
Late 70s: Day drinking intervention episode.
That was tv. This is newspapers. Also factor in Ted.

I'd like to see Lou Grant answer the phone "City Desk" when it's 2AM and he's in bed. Hilarious.
Why is it always vodka when there is a “drinking problem “?
Very odd audio track. The business men talking at the bar when Margaret comes in to nail them is the excat same audio track they used when the business men sat down for lunch with Margaret.
They sure were proud of those word processors .
Big stuff back then!
They were a huge improvement over typewriters! 😀👍
People like Mrs. Pynchon .............uh oh.....

College PA announcer, TV news announcer...
Where's Miss. Pynchons new puppy?
Oh here comes NOSEY ROSSIE cannot keep his nose out of ANYTHING
He was trying to help, actually. Why do you have that attitude to it? And why Caps so much. It indicates anger issues.
Rossi.
Like visiting an alternate universe ....
cool
