  Lateline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lateline is a late night current affairs television program on ABC TV in Australia, similar in format to the BBC's Newsnight program in the United Kingdom.
Lateline is widely recognised for its even-handed overview of local and international politics, its head-to-head debates on current issues and its political interviews, often featuring leading experts in a setting that is user-friendly to the audience.
Lateline was merged with the ABC Late News program, which was a ten-minute rundown of the day's top stories and important events that occurred during the evening.

LateLine is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1.
LateLine made use of many political and public figures in the US, but being a Canadian I didn't know who many of them were.
LateLine used so many people playing themselves that it seemed odd to have an actor in a guest role on the show.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Lateline: The Complete Series
The series began as a late-season replacement in the spring of 1998 on NBC and, after poor ratings halted its network run, was picked up by the cable network Showtime, which ran all but four of the show's remaining episodes.
Lateline, like most young shows, struggles in its early episodes to find its rhythm and, at its worst, suffers from a failure of imagination on the part of its creators.
Lateline created some buzz with a distinguished roster of cameo appearances by notable politicians and journalists, but this gimmick results mostly in a chain of fatally wounded punchlines delivered by amateur thespians.

 Amazon.com: Lateline - The Complete Series: DVD: Al Franken,Megyn Price,Miguel Ferrer,Ajay Naidu,Sanaa Lathan,Catherine ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
NBC's critically-acclaimed-but-low-rated "Lateline", which deftly and hilariously spoofed all facets of late-night television news programs, was one of those unfortunate quality shows that simply was a casualty of sub-par scheduling shuffles and network support.
"Lateline" is a smart comedy with a strong cast, clever storylines and spoofs and satire on news reporting.
On "Lateline," instead of interesting, we have Al Franken playing a newscaster who is out in minus 100 F weather, freezing, and everyone in the control room is guffawing and seeing how long they can keep him out there.

Greg Andrews, whose ruse was perpetrated with Lateline's permission, appeared on the program in a June 21 broadcast with his face obscured and his voice altered.
Lateline's executive producer, Peter Charley, said the program had approached Mr Andrews for the interview and agreed to conceal his true identity.
He said the Lateline team was "mindful" of the issue that viewers were being misled, but said "we were comfortable with proceeding because his identity didn't detract from the atrocities he had seen".

This just in: Nightline meets The Mary Tyler Moore Show in Lateline, an ensemble TV sitcom about a late-night news-and-issues series with a show-within-a-show format, incorporating real-life guests and using digital time updates and video to contrast "on-air" scenes with the filmed footage of the main story.

Variety praised Lateline as "sly, edgy, spirited, charmingly cynical and populated by a bevy of lovable eccentrics who don't treat a punch line like a medicine ball." Premiered March 17, 1998 on NBC.

Lateline - there was, at this time, an ABC news show called Nightline that was similar in many respects - was a satirical comedy featuring elements of both The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Drop The Dead Donkey, but without the quality of either.
Political satirist Franken had previously made waves as part of the Saturday Night Live team, but Lateline scarcely made a splash and NBC dropped the show before all the episodes had been screened.
