I would give it 5 stars for the series alone. This set has only one flaw, the picture quality. It looks like you are watching regular ol' low-def TV. I have no idea how the show was filmed so I have no idea if a higher definition master even exists. But... some extras and commentary tracks make me still give it 5 stars. For me, one of THE funniest TV series ever made. Sadly it only lasted four seasons.

EDIT: You just have to hate Sony Executive for putting in 4 FOUR(!!!) warnings between EACH show plus their animated logo. IDIOTS. ALSO to make a point to the studio execs. Have a little patience and you might end up with another Cheers or Seinfeld. IDIOTS.
Actually I like this show BETTER, and I'm a sitcom fan. Comedy is the hardest thing there is because it either works or not.
Writing - probably the best and smartest of any sitcom, most surreal too. Very surreal. VERY intelligent.
Directing - Sharp and snappy - you can almost feel the intelligence on the set - wonderful editing and graphics
Actors - one of the best and most under rated group ever, particularly Stephen Root, who is virtually unknown but a very VERY funny guy. These people must have had a very hard time not busting up constantly. Maura Tierney shows how good she can be when not wasted in a stupid show. Joe Grogan, smart guy too, though you might not know it from his other exposures on TV, very tough and funny stand up comic. Even if you don't like Andy Dick you'll like him here.
Music - Sheech I don't even like Mike Post, except he's outdone himself on this one - even the soundtrack is great.
This show could have easily lasted a decade if the studio wonks hadn't destroyed it.

the dvd containing seasons 1 and 2 of newsradio is great. the episodes involving 'no smoking in the office', and 'the annual bonus' are hysterical. highly recommended. comedy without age.

I hated 'News Radio' when it was on t.v and only learned to love it since it was on reruns while I was at lunch. This is a classic.
