NewsRadio Audience Reviews

Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
johnmmxii Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not American and the adequacivity of my view on this matter may be a little off. Mid 90s were the times the US was the only super power in existence, and didn't have any competition in any field. This, in my opinion, created an atmosphere of incredulity and cynicism. And a show like this could only be created in such an environment. It was the right show for the right time; a more serious and realistic take than Married with Children, if you wish.But even in such times, NewsRadio "was on the brink of cancellation every season that it was on". Understandable; in what other show have you seen such a perfect display of satire as you see in Rat Funeral (s2e03)?I don't understand people who question Maura Tierney's adequatulence for this show. I think she can be a great comedic actor when the occasion demands.NewsRadio was my favorite show of pre-political correctness times. Yes, I didn't get the references to local people and some events, but I understood the intent. They don't do shows with similar attitude anymore. TV shows today try to pass self serving hypocrisy as cynicism, but NewsRadio was cynical through and through.
Jeena Lee I grew up watching this show & recently found Seasons 1 & 2 on Hulu. There are a lot of sitcoms I watched on TV growing up but because I was so young, I didn't understand a lot of the jokes or "read between the lines" when watching it. Its cool re watching NewsRadio as a young adult because its twice as funnier now that I understand the jokes. Even with todays technology and a lot of social changes, I think a lot of people who have jobs in offices can relate to a lot of the things that happen in this show. Overall, its a feel good show and one of those shows that'll brighten your day and make you laugh. In short, Stephen Root plays the owner role very well because he portrays 50% of typical managers in America and their micromanaging and overly easygoing personalities.
Aaron1375 I do not wish to disparage Jon Lovitz, it has less to do with the introduction of his character that the show kind of fell apart at the end for me and more for the fact it just sort of depressing after the untimely death of Hartman. Bill McNeil was my favorite character on the show and while everyone else played their parts well it just was not the same without him. Before he passed on though this show was simply great and funny, though I have to say work related shows tend to be better in my opinion than shows that center around families and simply friends. The shows first episode is rather interesting as there are a couple of different things going on as the maintenance man is different and the whole appearance of the show was a bit off compared to the rest too. Still, it marked the beginning of a very good show that was cut short by most likely to many schedule changes and those copy cat shows that tried to emulate the early success of this one. That show Brooke Shields did during this time seemed almost a duplicate right down to the red head. The episodes in this one ran mostly hot, with the occasional cold episode. Most of the cast was on fire, however Andy Dick's character sometimes proved to be a bit to much. Khandi Alexander left a bit of void when she left, however the show probably had to many characters as it was so it probably was best she left as the show had enough people to focus on. My favorite episode though had to be when Dave got obsessed with playing that video game Stargate and I also like the one where Bill is locked up in the loony bin and Jon Lovitz was in that one too and did a good job. All in all a great show that ended prematurely.
zodiac_kilr VERY highly underrated...But then again, sitcoms in America that might take a little bit of thinking, Fraiser excluded, don't fair well.Phil Hartman was truly a genius that died before his time, very unfortunate.But all in all, the cast is excellent. Every character adds something, and the end result is excellent. I'm happy they finally released seasons one and two.I recommend you either watch the reruns (if available in your area), or run out and buy the DVDs.
