News Radio (The TV show)...
Did anyone else watch this?

I use to watch it in when I was in the 6th and 7th grade. I'm eating top ramon right now and watching the show and it's making me feel nostalgic.

Phil Hartman is the best part.

It's still hilarious. I must have missed a lot of the jokes and innuendo when I watched it as a 13 year old.

1. I loved that show
I recall it being surreal at times, which is unusual for a sitcom.

Thanks for the link. I just happened to recall that it's because of that show that I was awarded a patent. Long story. :D

8. I loved that show too
My TIVO is still full of rerun episodes from back when it was running regularly.

3. Very underrated show
at least the first few years. Not the same show after Hartman was killed. I always thought of it as a WKRP for the 90's

5. Jimmy James - Macho Buisness Donkey Wrestler!
From the classic Newsradio ep - "E57/S4-Super Karate Monkey Death Car" - watch streaming w/no commercials here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnkYJERss0o

And YES - I loved Newsradio. And I miss Phil.

9. I think "Arcade" is one of the best episodes of the series
Lisa is afraid she's getting stupider as she ages so she decides to retake the SAT (and gets Dave to do the same).

Jimmy James buys a video game for the lobby and Dave protests.

It is revealed that Dave did much more poorly than expected on his SAT's for an unexplained reason.

Dave is tempted by the video game and ends up playing the game through the entire night, then bombing his SAT's (just like the first time).

While taking the SAT's, some kids tell Dave that "your mom (Lisa) is really hot" :rofl:

I love that show. :bounce:
