Product Description:
Tune into New York City radio station WNYX if you like your news straight ... and your comedy utterly off-the-wall! In its fourth outrageous season NEWSRADIO captures the screwball absurdity of office politics with one of the funniest ensemble casts ever assembled. Dave Foley (TV's "The Kids in the Hall") plays the overworked news director who has to rein in a team of misfits. But office clown Matthew (MTV's Andy Dick) won't act normally ambitious producer Lisa (Maura Tierney "ER") won't back down duct tape-obsessed handyman Joe (Joe Rogan "Fear Factor') won't stop "fixing" things ... and irrepressible anchorman Bill McNeal (Phil Hartman TV's "Saturday Night Live") won't shut up!The sublime silliness reaches new heights in 22 episodes featuring guest appearances from Lauren Graham (TV's "Gilmore Girls") Jon Lovitz (TV's "Saturday Night Live") Bob Odenkirk and David Cross (HBO's "Mr. Show with Bob and David").System Requirements:Running Time 480 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 043396146327 Manufacturer No: 14632

With the departure of Khandi Alexander in the seventh episode, the radio-station sitcom became looser and wackier as the season went on. No new costar was immediately brought in, allowing other actors to do more, especially Phil Hartman as WNYX's blowhard anchor, Bill McNeil. Hartman rises to the challenge in his last season; he tragically died before the start of season 5. Bill gets to be boss for a day, works on his lounge act, interviews a jumper (fellow SNL alum Jon Lovitz, his second go-around on the show), tries to prove he can tell jokes, seeks adoption, and invents interviews with celebrities. The penultimate 22-epoisode fourth season starts off with a goody-two-shoes efficiency expert played by future Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham raising havoc: Matthew (Andy Dick) is fired (but still hangs around the station), Lisa (Maura Tierney) takes over as manager, and Dave (Dave Foley) winds up as Bill's producer. When the expert leaves, things return to relatively normal with episodes on the new security system, owner Mr. James's (Stephen Root) ballooning adventure, Joe (Joe Rogan) showing his Ultimate Fighting persona, Beth (Vicki Lewis) going British for a charity auction, and the annual fantasy-episode placing the station on the Titanic. The show seemed ready to hit the mainstream by the end of the season, even introducing a new character, Mr. James's hunk nephew (Brad Rowe) who short circuits the office romances (Dave and Lisa are still apart, despite the "help" of others). Alexander certainly didn't have enough to do on the show, but her final episode is the season's best. When she quickly states she's leaving and runs out the door, everyone has a different version of what happened, played out with hilarious results. As before, the DVD set has commentary roundtables on a few key episodes and 20 minutes of knee-slapping bloopers. --Doug Thomas

I absolutely love newsradio. Phil Hartman was the heart and soul of the show and his death marked the end of it. This last season with Phil Hartman is one to be remembered. You get a taste of his range as a comedic actor as he leads the show that was "The Office" before there was "The Office". Hilarious and worth every penny.

This has to be the funniest sitcom EVER! Every single episode is hysterical. We watch it over and over, and never tire of it. If we have company and it's on, they're immediately hooked! I recommend this purchase if you need a laugh-you will NOT be let down. The characters are all endearing, and they feel like your own family once you're involved in watching it!

I have the entire collection, and I can't stop watching them. I miss News Radio so much. In my opinion, it was, and is, in reruns, STILL the funniest show on TV. Lord knows we all wish selfishly that Phil Hartman was still with us, so the show could have gone on.
Non stop laughter at it's best! Thanx for the laughs guys...
