Newsradio The Complete First and Second Seasons

Product description No description available. Genre: Television: Series Rating: NR Release Date: 0000-00-00 Media Type: DVD .com With its shaky five-season tenure (1995-99) including a dozen different time slots and only one major Emmy nomination, the outstanding NewsRadio is the atypical sitcom of its age. While most of the '90s sitcoms were based around a single big name talent (Jerry Seinfeld, Candice Bergen, Drew Carrey), NewsRadio came from the same stock from earlier shows Taxi and Cheers : a relatively unknown cast that rarely ventured away from the place of business. These first 29 episodes (7 as a mid-season replacement the first year), deliver a consistently hilarious show about the day-to-day life with the eccentric staff of New York radio station WNYX. Creator Paul Simms ( The Larry Sanders Show ) built a talented cast relying on expert delivery and character traits instead of goofy situations. The most famous cast member, Saturday Night Live 's Phil Hartman, went against the grain of most SNL veterans and gleefully took a supporting role, the pompous, silver-tongued anchor Bill McNeal. The lead--the glue--of the series is Kids in the Hall member Dave Foley as the earnest new station manager, Dave Nelson. Soft but eager, Nelson plays lion-tamer delicately maneuvering around staff to keep the station humming along. This is complicated from the get-go

Review snippets: The show "NewsRadio" first came on TV, in 1995, just before I stopped watching sit-coms in 1996. I recall looking forward to it then, so after I finished my watching every episode of "The West Wing" in order, I looked / In the spirit of ensemble pieces like "Taxi," oddball half-realities like "The Bob Newhart Show," and slapstick like "The Three Stooges" came a show called "NewsRadio." Created by Paul Simms (who also worked on the hilarious "The Larry Sanders Show"),
