Start the presses. Edward Asner is returning to the news business. Asner, who played a television news producer on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and a newspaper editor on “Lou Grant,” will move to the top of the masthead when the new series “Ask Harriet” appears on the Fox network in January.
Asner will portray a newspaper owner on the show, about a macho sportswriter played by Anthony Tyler Quinn, who takes on a woman’s identity to write a column of advice to the lovelorn. “Ask Harriet” makes its debut on Jan. 4 before joining Fox’s Thursday night lineup on Jan. 8.
