"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.

Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune This stellar ensemble gets the most from most every moment, and the writers generally give them great, sly stuff to work with. Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Daniel Kurland New York Magazine/Vulture I attest that seasons three and four of the show are two near-flawless seasons of comedy. Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Dick Anderson Los Angeles Times NewsRadio has hit its creative stride... The result, I would argue, is the funniest show on the Peacock network.

R B I didn't enjoy this season as much as prior seasons. The Andrea character was very unlikeable (which is probably why she wasn't on the show very long). The season was missing Catherine's snappy comebacks. The whole plot line line demoting Dave was lame and messed up the show's working formula. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Last season for Phil Hartman, Not as good as season 2 or 3 but a must watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
