A Manhattan warehouse explodes and goes up in flames, killing a veteran firefighter as a journalist watches in horror. In the newsroom of The New York Reporter, the managing editor is shouting at an intern that he wants 500 words on body piercing by 5 o'clock.

Welcome to E.N., emergency newsroom. The new series begins tonight on CBS under the title "New York News." Wobbling somewhere between "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and its spinoff "Lou Grant," this would-be "Front Page" actually does have Mary Tyler Moore in its cast. Playing the tough editor in chief, Louise Felcott, known to staff members as the Dragon, Ms. Moore has something of a cameo role, popping up once in a while to warn the newsroom that she's "trying to save this ship from sinking." One bizarre scene places her in the paper's bathroom, her hand reaching out from under a stall door in a plea for some toilet tissue. Mary Richards, we hardly knew ye.
