Why this has never been on UK telly I don't know (or maybe it has but was hidden on some weird channel) because it really is very very good. The lead character who steals the show is the lead presenter of the radio station, Bill McNeal - Phil Hartman in the most perfect casting ever, and just makes you chortle with his most fantastic voice (the actor who played him also voiced Troy McClure on Simpsons). I would highly recommended just taking a chance and getting it on DVD - you won't regret it.
Newsradio never fails to bring a chuckle, a smile. The interpersonal relationships, struggles and sillyness of a not so average office is endearing. We get to know the characters as if they are family.. and welcome them into our living room as friends. Season 3 may be the best season of them all..

If you have ever worked in a large city office this sit com is for you. All of the typical work situations and personalities are dealt with in each of the episodes. The all talented cast is just PERFECT, and the writing of this comedy is so funny it has never lost its humor over the years. I would consider it a classic, and I just love that it takes place in New York a city that I am familiar with myself having worked there for many years in the midtown area. I was disappointed when I could not catch it on TV (I am sure it is playing on cable somewhere) so I am collecting the seasons. You would not be disappointed to do the same if you like pure comedy and you can enjoy a good laugh in every episode.
Phil Hartman is a super funny character. Up there with Cosmo Kramer or Homer Simpson.
