"NewsRadio" showcases the hilarious antics of staffers at WNYX, the fictional No.2 news radio station serving New York. The characters are eccentric and witty, and sarcasm is the name of the game as they surprise one another with back-and-forth banter. Dave Foley stars as the level-headed news director who tries -- but mostly fails -- to keep his colleagues in line.

R B One of the very best sitcoms of the 90's. Season 2 was great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Easily my favorite Sitcom. Reminds me of a similar time when the writing mattered, plots were believable and acting was expected. It would be hard to determine who is the star of the show because every main character seems critical to the story. One of the few TV shows that takes a jab at both political parties. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
