DVD TV Series Review: NewsRadio

Synopsis:
Tune in to 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!

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.
