Most underrated comedy of all timeI can't believe how happy this made me. I just said to my wife that I hope News Radio comes on Itunes. Phil Hartman is a God!.Score: 5/5

Entirely Awesome!This show is hilarious! Season one is funny, but the following seasons – once the characters become more comfortable in their roles – are even better! So while season one is not the funniest of the 5, I'd highly suggest downloading it to fully appreciate the relational situations that carry-on throughout the entire series..Score: 5/5

Something's missingI love this series, and was SO happy to see iTunes finally added it. But wait...season 1 was seven episodes long, and there are only six episodes here. Where is "Big Day"???.Score: 5/5

Hilarious!!This show is sometimes on TBS in the afternoon.....omg I love it...Andy Dick is hilarious on this show...keep it coming!.Score: 5/5

Thank You iTunes...For making one of the greatest, if not the greatest, show of the '90s available for download. I first got into NewsRadio watching the reruns on A&E and was immediatly hooked. Thanks so much!.Score: 5/5

My favorite TV show of all time-Finally on iTunes!I find it bitterly ironic that I just received the final season on DVD and now the show is available for purchasing on iTunes. Am I upset-Not at all. I hope that being on iTunes will give this show a whole new audience that it rightly deserves. After struggling for every single season that it aired from 1995-1998, NBC cancelled this brilliant show that was a favorite by critics because of a rare combination that included fantastic writers and one of the best and most hillarious ensemble casts ever on television. Several, if not all, of these actors have been seen in more high profile roles since the show was cancelled, so many of these faces will be familiar to people who never heard of NewsRadio. If you're like me and you're a fan of The Office or Arrested Development, you'll get the humor (from way back in the days of laugh tracks and studio audiences). Favorite eps from Season 1: Smoking, Inappropriate and Luncheon at the Waldorf..Score: 5/5

Best show of the 90'sI like everything about this series, except the 5th season. It was so good it actually made Joe Rogan and Andy Dick palatable..Score: 4/5

😱You're a hoot.Score: 5/5

UnderratedThe cast really puts the show on a whole different level. Phil Hartman, Andy Dick, Vicki Lewis, and Stephen Root especially shine in my opinion. However, the humor is subtle and will be lost if you are not culturally literate. But if you do appreciate shows like 30 Rock or Knights of Propserity, then Newsradio will definitely interest you..Score: 5/5

Episode orderI love this show and I was so excited to see it on iTunes, but I would like everyone to know that the episodes are out of order. The order should be: "Pilot", "Inappropriate", "Smoking", "The Crisis", "Big Day", "Luncheon At the Waldorf", and "Sweeps Week". iTunes has listed the shows in the order they were produced, but that is different from the order they were aired in. The order they were aired in is listed above..Score: 5/5

Great but where are the other 3 series?I love newsradio and have both series that are available on iTunes but where are the other 3 series? The late Phil Hartman and Stephen Root are hilarious, the relationship between Dave Foley and Maura Tierney's characters is entertaining. I'm now waiting for the other series to continue the story as I've watched the first 2 series so many times. Newsradio is an easy to watch, hilarious and entertaining series and well worth the money iTunes is asking..Score: 5/5

A genuine classicGreat to see this on i-tunes. I used to live in the US, and this is the one comedy series from my time there that I always urge my friends to watch (I'm not sure it's ever been shown fully over here). It probably takes a few episodes to get into the swing of things but once you do, you're hooked - it's the closest thing to a live-action simpsons (eccentric characters, absurd situations) with a host of brilliant performers (particularly Phil Hartman, Stephen Root and Dave Foley). Try it - you really won't regret it..Score: 5/5

Hilarious!I purchased this on a whim due to its good price (£8 for a series... not bad iTunes... not bad...), but I'm so glad I did. It's superbly '90s, but in a great way. Hartman and Foley are the stand out greats in this series, both playing their roles hilariously. The episodes are original and very different to anything on TV today. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy other sitcoms from around this era ("Friends", "Frasier", "Everybody Loves Raymond", "Seinfeld" etc)..Score: 5/5

As the new News Director at New York's WNYX radio, Dave Nelson is ready for his first day on the job.

To make matters worse, Jimmy has not told anyone on the staff that Dave is their new boss as he proceeds to introduce him as the station's new sports reporter. As he looks for a way to break the news to Ed, Dave meets the rest of the WNYX news team, and quickly realizes what's in store for him.

However, Dave's relief is just temporary. It seems that Ed quits several times each week, only to be back at work soon thereafter. After witnessing an argument between Ed and the station's new ace reporter, Matthew, Dave decides he has to tell someone the truth. But, even after swearing Matthew to secrecy, Dave soon finds that the entire WNYX staff is waiting for him to make his move. Before dealing with Ed, Dave saves Lisa some embarrassment by announcing to everyone that he was hired only after she turned own the job first.

Then another problem throws a wrench into the works -- the delivery of Matthew's new desk, a purchase that was approved by Dave. While trying his best to get the transit commissioner to approve his request, Dave must fend off an endless stream of complaints by the rest of the staff about their not getting new desks, too. After Jimmy arrives with a friend to watch the staff operate during a crisis, Dave makes matters worse when he lets slip that he approved the new desk over a dinner Taking Matthew with him, Dave heads for the transit commissioner's office to see about getting access to the stalled train. Even though the commissioner refuses to even meet with him, Dave manages to steal a tunnel pass for Matthew. However, upon returning to work, Dave is shocked to find that Jimmy has authorized new desks for everyone. Taking the station owner aside, Dave then complains about undercutting his authority in the newsroom and insists on sending the new desks back at once.

Inappropriate

01 January 1995$5.99

In the wake of Matthew's inappropriate, and obscene, pronunciation of a name in the news, Dave must try to limit the damage. Yet, much to his chagrin, Lisa takes charge and suggests an on-air apology before Dave has had a chance to react. And despite the possibility of a lawsuit, Jimmy is delighted with the mistake and hopes he can sell tapes of the error to collectors. However, after he asserts his seniority, Lisa convinces Dave to join her for dinner to discuss the matter. When Beth notices them acting strangely the following morning at work, Dave admits to having spent part of the evening making out with Lisa. Though Beth pledges to keep their little affair a secret, she warns Dave that he and Lisa are bound to have a confrontation which will alert everyone. Agreeing that an affair is unprofessional, Dave and Lisa just can't keep it from escalating even further. Meanwhile, Bill persists in trying to convince Catherine to join him for a date, while Matthew is convinced he's being fired as a result of his on-air mistake. Realizing that Lisa and Dave have gone on to have sex, Beth reaffirms her earlier warning. As Bill tries to enlist them into coaxing Catherine to join him for lunch, Lisa and Dave pledge to nip their affair in the bud once and for all, only to end up making love on his office couch.

4Smoking (NewsRadio) recap, spoilers

Smoking

01 January 1995$5.99

In compliance with a new state law, Dave announces that the station is now officially a no-smoking office. News of the ban doesn't sit well with Bill, who claims that cigarettes are the key to his radio voice. And when he discovers a provision in the law allowing a special smoking area, Bill insists that Dave comply. When this idea proves impractical, Dave decides to inspire Bill to quit and ends up offering to give up coffee if Bill gives up smoking. Meanwhile, Lisa worries about her affair with Dave being exposed after Joe sees them at the movies together. Upon arriving at the station to find Dave in a trance and Bill coughing his way through the news broadcast, Jimmy takes action himself, popping a cigarette in Bill's mouth and immediately improving his performance. However, when Dave plucks the cigarette from his mouth, Bill suddenly reverts back to coughing. Dave then gives him some nicotine patches prescribed by his doctor, and Bill gets relief from his craving -- unaware that using them without medical supervision has serious side effects. With Bill in the hospital, Jimmy demands that Dave start drinking coffee after telling him it's decaffeinated -- even though it isn't! Confronting Joe about their encounter at the theater, Lisa learns he is more concerned about his being seen there with a gay man than seeing her with someone in a stupid-looking hat. Finally, Dave solves his problem by sealing off the broadcast booth so that Bill and Catherine can do their show enveloped in a cloud of cigarette smoke.

5Luncheon At the Waldorf (NewsRadio) recap, spoilers

Luncheon At the Waldorf

As Dave and Lisa struggle to keep their own romance a secret, another potential inter-office relationship arises when Bill invites Beth to the Annual Broadcaster's Luncheon. While Beth believes him when he says the invitation comes with no strings attached, no one else in the office does. And when Bill asks her to wear the revealing dress she wore at their last Christmas party, even Beth begins to suspect things are getting out of hand. With Dave facing a $6,000 budget shortfall, Lisa quietly suggests taking a look at Matthew's phone bill. Caught making personal long distance calls on the office phone, Matthew then points to Catherine's corporate account at an expensive hair salon. Meanwhile, Bill insists that their luncheon date is harmless and that he thinks of Beth as a daughter. But, after a few glasses of champagne, it isn't Bill but Beth who makes an unsolicited advance. However it's not the kiss that gets Dave's attention. Rather, it's Beth's 93 magazine subscriptions on the company account and the chauffeured limousine Bill hired for the luncheon. As a result of the unsolicited kiss, Bill is in a state of shock, especially once everyone in the office knows what happened. After listening to Beth explain how she was simply swept away by the moment, Bill hesitatingly accepts her apology, but insists that the two of them never be left alone in the same room anymore. Finally, when Dave's investigation of the budget leads him to question Jimmy's use of a helicopter to fly home and play with his dogs at lunch, the owner's solution is simple -- increase the budget for fuel.

Big Day

01 January 1995$5.99

And after he's cautioned against having an affair with anyone at work, and particularly Lisa, Dave is saddled with the responsibility of deciding this year's bonuses. Explaining how he motivates with paranoia and fear, Jimmy says that everyone should get $400 except for two. One gets "the big bonus" of $3,000, while the other gets "the shaft, " or nothing. Not wanting to be "shafted" for the fourth year in a row, Matthew pleads his case with Dave, while Lisa is convinced she's getting the big bonus to make up for not being made news director. Dave suggests that no one get "the shaft" this year. But Jimmy won't accept any changes in the policy and offers to take full responsibility for whatever Dave decides. However, when Lisa accidentally finds his list of who's getting what, she discovers that she isn't the only candidate for the big bonus. Upset over Dave keeping his role a secret, Lisa then offers to keep quiet about what she's found -- -- in exchange for the $3,000! Realizing that things have gotten out of hand, Dave calls a staff meeting and suggests pooling all the bonus money to give everyone an equal share. What he finds is that everyone is willing to take their chances with his decision, as each of them certain they're the one getting the $3,000. Seeing how to manipulate the situation to her advantage, Catherine claims she doesn't care one way or the other and ends up with the big bonus, while Dave gives himself "the shaft" to make everyone else feel guilty.

Meanwhile, over Lisa's objections, Dave chooses Bill to interview a business visionary who has made a real impression on Jimmy. However, when Bill makes himself the center of attention, Tom Baxter walks out of the interview without saying a word. It's only when Nancy arrives that Lisa learns that Dave never really broke up with her before leaving Wisconsin to take his new job in New York. In his own defense, Dave explains that he didn't call off the relationship for fear of hurting Nancy's feelings. Though Dave insists that she's fragile and needs to be handled with care, Lisa learns otherwise when Nancy warns her to stay away from her boyfriend -- or else! Meanwhile, after Baxter gets another chance at an interview, Bill refuses to say anything at all. Though Beth is sure that Lisa must be joking, she realizes just how serious it is when she, too, gets one of Nancy's stern warnings to keep away from Dave. After Dave finally sets her straight about his relationship with Lisa, he thinks he's gotten rid of Nancy once and for all. However, when Nancy arrives at the station to bid everyone farewell and tries to tell everyone of the affair between Lisa and Dave, the incredulous staff refuses to believe her. Finally, only after Catherine is finally given a chance to interview Tom does everyone realize just how shallow he really is.
