This show was so clever! It was a shame that between the idiots at NBC moving the time slot 20 times and Phil Hartman's death, it only ran 5 seasons. This show was "The Office" before the Office. Tremendous writing, and clever plots made it a classic. I own seasons 1-3 and just ordered 4 because it is still funny every time I watch it!

its here people.. the greatest show ever... this show was a true gem... ther scene is set in a bustling news rtadio station. the charecters all get into funny situations. random things happen... and it couldnt be better. youll laugh till you puke with this one. the stories are well written aand still funny to this day... seasons 1-4 were great.. but only true fans will enjoy season 5 as it was filmed after the murder of phil hartman.

A wonderful season of a wonderful show.
My only complaint is that very few of the actors participated in the commentaries. In one episode Mora Tierney actually "phones it in," she is not even watching the show.
But still, five stars.

I loved this 4th season of the underappreciated sitcom, Newsradio. If you like to laugh, you'll enjoy this show. Of course, I would recommend that you start at the very beginning and watch the first 3 seasons before this one--but it's really a very simple show to follow. And what a great cast--Dave Foley, Andy Dick, Maura Tierney (who needs to return to TV sitcom land after she finishes all of her drama on ER), the late Phil Hartman and Vicki Lewis! They're all wonderful. My favorite episodes of the 4th season: "Super Karate Monkey Death Car", in which a translation of Jimmy's book makes him a celebrity in Japan; "French Diplomacy", in which Matthew reopens his dormant dental practice; "Catherine Moves On", in which Catherine resigns and, unfortunately, the terrific Khandi Alexander leaves the show; "Security Door", in which a security door is installed; "Big Brother", in which Matthew gets a big brother; "Beep, Beep", in which Matthew tools around the office in a toy car (hysterical); "Balloon", in which Jimmy's round-the-world balloon flight is discovered to be a hoax; and "Copy Machine", in which a copy machine causes an employee's death. As for DVD extras, there's a gag reel, a bizarre short film and cast/crew commentaries (which are fun and interesting to listen to). I highly recommend this show and this DVD. Buy it right now! You won't regret it!

I'm a fan of the series, and I really do not believe that there is a single bad episode of Newsradio. Therefore, I enjoyed this DVD heartily.
