Capital News is an American drama television series that aired on ABC in 1990.  Starring Lloyd Bridges, Helen Slater, and William Russ (Boy Meets World) Capital News was created by David Milch and Christian Williams.

Synopsis
The series focused on the editorial staff and writers of the Washington, D.C.-based daily newspaper The Washington Capital (a fictional publication inspired by the actual Washington Post).  It was produced by MTM Enterprises.

The series consisted of one TV movie (also considered as the pilot) and twelve regular episodes, of which only three were shown on its initial run in the United States, after which ABC canceled the series. However, at least in Germany, Canada, Hong Kong, the Netherlands and the UK, all 13 episodes were shown on television in 1990 and 1991.
