I feel that this show never gets the proper recognition. It was funny out of the gate, the first four seasons were awesome, and it was quotable. So why isn't it mentioned more?

I love the show. Even when it started to suck after Phil Hartman died, it was still pretty damn funny. The show that started my lifelong fandom of Stephen Root.

Stephen Root was awesome. A few Jimmy James' quotes:
"I have so many pending lawsuits, you'd swear I had tobacco leaking out of my breast implants."
Concerning Dave: "He's so normal he makes Richie Cunningham seem like a pot-smoking, porn freak."

My all-time favorite show. This site has pages for all of them, but none of better than the quotes from Bill McNeal: www.evilzero.com/NewsRadio/bill.htm"Have you ever heard the expression, 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and then toss it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you asked for in the first place'?" |

Newsradio was one of the 5 best shows of the 1990's.

"Cigarette"
"Sure, thanks"
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the cigarette."
That was Jon Lovitz prior to being a cast member.

I can't say it's the best, but I'm most definitely a fan... Part of me doesn't want to pick up the Lovitz season, but then I think of Patrick Warburton's hilariousness in that season... S***, I think I might just order it right now...

My favorite Bill quote:
"When I was a child, I thought as a child, and spoke as a child, but when I became a man, I took that child out back and had him shot."

I loved this show, but as a guy whos in radio, it always bothered me they only had a morning and a night guy. What about the other 18 hours?
