NewsRadio is a seriously underrated, overlooked comedy about the staff of an all-news radio station in NYC. From the station's wacked-out multi-millionaire owner Jimmy James, to the not-sure-what-his-job-description-is Matthew, the cast is full of talented, funny and enjoyable performers. I've watched perhaps half the series now (it's running twice a night on my satellite dish) and it has become one of those shows I never miss. It ran for five years on NBC before being cancelled -- apparently for low ratings. Phil Hartman was a regular before his death in 1998. He was replaced by Jon Lovits for the show's final year. Every character on the show is fun. I just wish that Khandi Alexander had remained with the show for it's entire run. All in all, NewsRadio will make you laugh yourself silly and is the perfect antidote for the blues of any kind...
