NewsRadio: Difference between revisions

A'''''NewsRadio''''' is a [[Work Com]] airing on [[NBC]] from 1995-99, set at a news-talk radio station and starring Dave Foley (as news director and [[Only Sane Man]] Dave Nelson), Phil Hartman (playing [[Small Name, Big Ego]] anchorman Bill McNeil), Andy Dick (Matthew Brock, [[The Ditz]]), Vicki Lewis ([[Sassy Secretary]] Beth), Stephen Root ([[Eccentric Millionaire]] station-owner Jimmy James), Joe Rogan (Joe Garelli, a [[Conspiracy Theorist]] electrician with a propensity for [[Homemade Inventions]]) and Maura Tierney (neurotic overachiever Lisa Miller). Khandi Alexander played [[Sassy Black Woman]] Catherine Duke for three seasons before leaving for a bigger role on ''[[ER]]'' (which Tierney also joined the cast of following this show's cancellation). Though critically acclaimed, ''[[News Radio]]'' never got the recognition or [[Ratings]] it deserved, in part because NBC apparently scheduled it by rolling dice each week.
