Features: DVD, Aspect Ratio 1.33:1, Hi-fi Stereo
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, TV's ER) won't back down, duct tape-obsessed handyman Joe (Joe Rogan, TV's 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).
"...simultaneously smarter and more slapstick than most other sitcoms." Kristin Munson, DVD Verdict
"One of the best ensemble casts...a superioir sitcom." Matt Roush, USA Today
"Very cleverly written, well staged and brilliantly cast, NewsRadio is hilarious." New York Daily News
"...one of the best sitcoms in TV history...the ensemble cast carried the series..." Noel Murray, The Onion A.V. Club
"...a marvelous...and a lunatic sense of humor." People Magazine
Editor's Note
The clashing eccentricities that populate New York's second-highest rated news radio station generate an abundance of banter and much hilarity in this popular sitcom from the mid-1990s. Starring Phil Hartman and Khandi Alexander as preening anchors, Dave Foley as the harried director, and Andy Dick, Maura Tierney, and Vicki Lewis as quirky employees, the show lent a slapstick, intelligent humor to office politics.
