Quick Info
NewsRadio is a 90s sitcom that takes place in the office of a fictional AM news radio station in New York. The show, despite its setting, rarely deals with the on-air side of radio, instead focusing on the quirky office dynamics and outlandish personalities.
The show is absolutely carried by the stellar ensemble cast, including Dave Foley, Phil Hartman and Maura Tierney. Their comedic chemistry is simply fantastic, making even the most mundane office situations hilariously entertaining. What sets NewsRadio apart is the way it blends screwball comedy with almost surreal plots without ever infringing on the core workplace setup.
There are however, storyline inconsistencies and a tendency to go for the sillier comedic route instead of the witty one. But despite these few mishaps, NewsRadio is sure to delight fans of offbeat sitcoms and comedy gems. Its unusual approach to comedy and the workplace sitcom format makes it a refreshing pick in the vast ocean of TV shows.
