Moscow Bureau
Moscow Bureau is a half-hour ABC television comedy made in 1985 as a pilot for a proposed series. Written by Emmy Award winner David Lloyd and directed by John Rich, the show aired in the summer of the following year as an episode of "ABC Comedy Specials", listed in some markets as "Comedy Factory".
Moscow Bureau takes place in what was still Cold War-era Moscow, focusing on the hard-drinking editor at a weekly U.S. newsmagazine and his staff of reporters who "skulk, double-deal, scoop each other, and take other alarming measures to get their stories out to the world."
Cast: Caroline McWilliams, William Windom, Elya Baskin, Barrie Ingham, Nancy Lane, Dennis Drake, Michael Zaslow, James Newell, Charles Knox Robinson
