Back To Index NewsRadio - The Complete First & Second Seasons
 Barnes & Noble Launched in March 1995 as a spring replacement, this quirky comedy set in a New York radio station immediately captured viewers hearts and was added to that years fall schedule. This box set collects the seven episodes of that truncated first season and the 21 that followed in the 95-96 broadcast year. In the pilot episode, Wisconsin journalist Dave Nelson (Dave Foley) is named news director at New Yorks WNYX. Working in Manhattan poses challenges to this midwesterner, who strains to maintain some semblance of order in an office packed with odd characters, not the least of whom is his boss, Jimmy James (Stephen Root). Also to be dealt with are self-important anchorman Bill McNeal (Phil Hartman), irrepressible secretary Beth (Vicki Lewis), reporter Matthew Brock (Andy Dick), and electrician Joe Garelli (Joe Rogan). And then theres writer Lisa Miller (Maura Tierney), with whom Dave secretly begins a romantic relationship. Smartly written by a host of top-notch talent and snappily directed by such sitcom legends as James Burrows (Cheers) and Tom Cherones (Seinfeld), NewsRadio breathed new life into an old formula thanks to its superb comedic ensemble. Foley, a former member of the comedy troupe Kids in the Hall, anchors the show with his grounded, commonsense characterization, while Hartman provokes laughter just about every time hes on screen. The first two seasons feature a host of terrific guest stars, including John Ritter, Bebe Neuwirth, and Saturday Night Live alumni Dennis Miller, Janeane Garofalo, and Chris Kattan.
