Caught a few of the reruns on TV recently. Full of quirky moments, memorable scenes, great dialogue, and awesome slapstick, I think it’s a vastly underrated sitcom with the some of best ensemble chemistry in TV history. Hartman (RIP), Foley, and Root are all magnificent; even Joe Rogan and Andy Dick were tolerable. Some of my favourites:

Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor.. DAMN!

The Baseball Promo

Macho Business Donkey Wrestler

Trying to save Matthew’s Job

Negative Campaigning

Bill playing the piano

The Cane

This definitely has to be one of the most underrated sitcoms ever .I love this show, its still good to watch to this day. Very funny, amazing cast, and it was a fairly unusual setting for a sitcom. Shame though that Hartman was the lifeblood and when they tried to replace him with Lovitz, after he died. nobody would watch it anymore. I just don't believe he was given the chance.

PS. Anyone else find it weird how this show has Joe Rogan...Yes THAT Joe Rogan from UFC. I would have never pictured him in a sitcom. Like how the hell do you transition from a sitcom to UFC.

I love this show. Remember when Joe set the Gelato trap? haha.

Plus I had a crush on maura tierney.

[Clevinger]

this show is amazing

and fate's cruelest prank is Phil Harman being dead while Andy Dick is alive.

Plus I had a crush on maura tierney.

How can you not?

[tearsofash]

I loved this show.

Although it kind of is like culture shock watching this show because Dave Foley is so...young. Also, the random episodes where people try to smoke cigarettes in an office. I could never imagine a time like that, too young.

[-Pyromaniac-]

I still watch the reruns when they air like....every day. Awesome show.

When I was younger I had a crush on Vicki Lewis...AKA Beth... but now that I'm grown up, yeah. I was stupid lol

Maura Tierney is perfect.

[Rookje]

One of my favs.

I love the lecture about advertising. I think about it anytime anyone argues for "ad blockers."

LOL I didn't remember this one. I don't think there's anything that Stephen Root does that I don't like, but his Jimmy James is by far my favourite.

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I am watching old clips on YT now. Need to bust out the DVD's.

Oh Maura Tierney, you so lovely!

Wow, you're a young'in.

Smoking was one of the first episodes that cemented the Bill/Dave dynamic.

[Davidion]

Newsradio is one of the most underrated sitcoms of all time. The setups were hilarious yet not pretentious. Every character was fantastic, even Andy Dick's, which is saying something.

Screw everything else, Office Space and all, Jimmy James is Stephen Root's magnum opus.

Was going to post this. Instead, I'll post this: Dave and Bill give up coffee and smoking.

I love this show.

[ConfusingJazz]

I have seasons 1-4 on DVD. Didn't buy the 5th season, can't do it.

Plus I had a crush on maura tierney.

I still have one!

[newjeruse]

Aww man. I love this show.

[SoulPlaya]

Arguably my favorite show ever. I go on a watching marathon every few months or so.

I have never been so happy and content then when Stephen Root and Phil Hartman hammed up scenes.

Also, US Constitution != Declaration of Independence Jimmy!

[Sonicbug]

I support this topic with every fiber of my being.

I love how every time the network wanted them to do some theme episode they would totally subvert it.

Then there's the DVD commentary where Warren Littlefield apologized for basically treating the show like shit and moving the time slot around constantly.

GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES.

[Davidion]

Randomly found the whole talent show episode.

I do enjoy a good cane.

[Brian Fellows]

I love his show. I watch it all the time.

[King Of Fuh]

I actually just happen to be in the middle of rewatching this series. It's true, it's great.

I was pretty young, I guess around 14, when Phil Hartman was murdered, but I was crushed, between this show and his role on the Simpsons. He was the man.

That being said, I still enjoyed the final season with Jon Lovitz taking his place. It got a little out there, but was still quite entertaining for the most part.

[Megadragon15]

This show was never the same after Phil Hartman's untimely death.

[not psycho]

Most of my favorite comedies I don't actually like the characters, so Newsradio has a special place in my heart.

Negative Campaigning

Yep, still have a crush on Maura Tierney.

"This is a two-part question. 1: What does Lisa look like naked? And 2: What does Lisa feel like naked?"

[aett]

Such a great show. It really is crazy how Andy Dick is actually funny on this show. Granted, most of that is because he's constantly falling down and getting hurt.

[Davidion]

Yep, still have a crush on Maura Tierney.

Indeed. I don't know what it was, but...

[B.K.]

I have seasons 1-4 on DVD. Didn't buy the 5th season, can't do it.

Same. I'll probably get it eventually though. The season five set would be worth it just for "Bill Moves On".

[Like the hat?]

still my favorite sitcom of all time.

one of my favorite episodes was the one where they get rid of the sandwich machine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItJWttlyD58

but really, so many episodes were so great. I can't really think of any true stinkers.

Love all the characters, but especially Jimmy James--the man so nice, they named him twice

[Maklershed]

One of my all time favorite shows. My favorite episode is when they all had different stories for why Catherine was leaving. Not only was it hilarious .. especially Dave focusing on Bill .. but Khandi Alexander's 'assets' were on full display.

[CountAntonius]

Caught this show on late night syndication long after it ended. Loved it.

YES!

Oh my goodness, I loved this back in the day. Splitting a side over here.

[Nobility]

One of my favourite sitcoms ever.

Watched it on A&E reruns growing up, best thing to watch at 6:30.

Still have the DVDs.

I miss Phil Hartman. :(

[B.K.]

Also, US Constitution != Declaration of Independence Jimmy!

What do you expect? He's from Florida.

[Stumpokapow]

How weird, I'm just in the middle of ripping and encoding my DVDs of this today :p

Favorite sitcom. That said, show def took a hit when Hartman died. Also had a crush on Maura, but she didn't age to well on ER.

She is in her bra in two episodes.

Not that I didn't know this off the top of my head.

"You were thinking it."
"... Fair enough."

ButtafuuuuuuuuCo.

[massoluk]

Newsradio and Early Editions are my two favorite shows on TV of all times, period.

My favorite character was not Phil Hartman, but the super talented handyman or the Richy Rich owner. When he bought everyone a Nissan Miata and gave Andy Dick a boxset of old comedy show (and the big reveal later), beautiful

[Shig]

Gotta give the writers of this show some major respect... Making a funny show featuring both Andy Dick and Kathy Griffin is an achievement on par with tightrope-walking over the Grand Canyon without any feet.

[Maklershed]

There was a perky red head but I don't think Kathy Griffin was on the show.

Kathy Griffin wasn't in NewsRadio.

[DavieC726]

Vicki Lewis is the perky red head. Looks damn fine in the show.

[BorkBork]

Just saw the one with the guy in a wheelchair upstairs making a bunch of noise + Bill's Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor scene. I had forgotten the joke Katherine played on him. That was awesome.

[Count Dookkake]

Loved that episode where Dave's high-school addiction to videogames was reawakened.

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

The show died with Hartman, but when it was good it was really fucking good.

Jimmy James super macho donkey wrestler.

[Aristotlekh]

The cast of Newsradio was damn near perfect, probably the best casting of any '90s sitcom barring The Larry Sanders Show.

Anyway, Maura Tierney was the first girl I ever got, like, lovesick over. I crushed on her for years and years.
