Go to Amazon and do a search for "News Radio". They just sent me an email announcing that the series will be available on DVD starting in February. Pre-order now for a discounted price.
many days no business come to my hut... my hut... but Jimmy has fear?_ A thousand times no._ I never doubted myself for a minute for I knew that my monkey strong bowels were girded with strength like the loins of a dragon ribboned with fat and the opulence of buffalo... dung.
You know, the stuff with Jon Lovitz isn't all that horrible either, the other characters pull it together. The DVD features seasons 1 & 2, I can only anticipate that they'll follow up with subsequent seasons...however many there were. I wonder if there'll be any extras on there?
Five seasons, but originally it was a midseason replacement so the first season was only seven episodes. It premiered March 1995 and ran through May 1999.
I think it's hilarious that they started naming the episodes after Led Zepplin songs/albums halfway through season 2
that was just one writer. (each writer names their own episodes) i remember a webpage that interviewed the writers and one of them decided to name the episodes he wrote after "the worlds greatest rockband's" album.
(edit = actually i think it was a producer)
another writer (may have been the same guy) snuck david lee roth's name into the credits once.

Wow, it isn't everyday that something I'm working on appears on AI.
There will be extras - they told us to stop working on the project a couple of days ago so that the writers/producers can get together and decide what they want to include.

I'll have see if they are at Netflix. Normally I wouldn't rent TeeVee stuff but News Radio was great stuff.

When I get a house, I will name it Fort Awesome.

Yes! I love this show! I've been wishing someone would pick it up after A&E took it off.

i'll second the A&E comment. they messed up my daily routine by taking it off.
anyone know how many seasons it ended up running? the last few werent all that great w/ lovitz, but the years with hartman were classic.
