Damn, binged about eight eps in a row. In my memory, this show as kickass, and I'm glad it holds up 20+ years later. Hell, even Andy Dick is tolerable and that's about the only time anyone could ever say that.

It's just called "The Roku Channel" -- has a bunch of free movies and series and stuff. Someone mentioned NewsRadio being on there recently and...well, here we are! Can't think of a single character on the show who sucks, honestly.

Hmm, season two has been a bit zanier than the first, which had a lot of actual radio-related stuff. This is more "look how silly our characters' personalities can be!" fare. Hard to see the ep where Phil Hartman thought he was going to be murdered in its original, funny context, too.

That's Vicky Lewis, not Kathy Griffin. :P

They bear a resemblance, though, so it's fair to call her "the good Kathy Griffin"!

Wasn't Kathy Griffin on that other press- or fashion-related show around the same timeframe? I forget what it was called. One of the dudes on there killed himself and I think they cancelled it awhile afterwards. Kathy wasn't too shabby on that.

The cigarette episode was funny as hell. Also, I really enjoyed the Joe Rogan episode where he interviewed Dave Foley. Some crazy shit in there about his ex wife.

The cigarette ep was pretty good, yeah. Haven't gotten to the Joe Rogan interview one yet, but I saw the one where everyone gets a Miata except Matthew, who gets some old cassette tapes. (The punchline being he didn't just get tapes, he got the rights to the entire show.) Might have to download the other seasons or something, 'cause this binge is bangin'.

Whew, got through all twenty episodes in the second season. I wonder if they'll finish this "Jimmy wants to get married subplot" in the next season or draw it out until the fourth.

One of my favorites is when Joes character starts doing all that work to find out who is stealing his gelato. Just a generally all around excellent show. I still have season 1-3 on dvd.

The gelato thief episode is in season one, IIRC. The culprit (---Bill----) was rather devious.

Right! Cause he was paying a certain late night worker to steal it! Oh Phil Hartman, what would this world be like if you were still around?

I thought there were only two seasons, but I guess there's four. SLAMMING!! I see an ad for John Lovitz (who I don't remember on this show), so I'm curious when he gets in. I also notice Phil Hartman is conspicuously absent from that same ad, so...not sure what to think.

Phil Hartman was murdered during the show's run. They brought on Jon Lovitz after that, but the show just wasn't the same, and it wrapped after only one more season.
The fact that the man partly responsible for his death was still on the show probably didnt help. Fuck Andy Dick.

I believe that was Suddenly Susan with Brooke Shields. They spend the whole memorial episode looking for his character and then the final shot is the phone ringing, presumably getting the call about his death.

The fashion show was Veronicas Closet with Krista Alley, featuring Dan Cortez from that MTV sports show.

Wait what?
Andy Dick got Phils wife hooked on drugs. Or at least he blew her rehab. Supposedly they had been using together before the murder. Her drug problem is what led to her killing Phil.

Thats a real big stretch to call Andy Dick responsible in any way for Hartmans murder
The cast of News Radio disagrees.

Phil Hartman was murdered by his coked out crazy bitch of a wife, who then killed herself. she had been struggling with sobriety for years, and Andy Dick knew that, yet he still gave her some cocaine at a party one time. it wasn't long after that that she went off the deep end.
I did not know this.

There's an ep that answers the question "what if NewsRadio took place on a space station"? I hope this isn't a shark-jumper.
