With the departure of Khandi Alexander in the seventh episode, the radio-station sitcom became looser and wackier as the season went on. No new costar was immediately brought in, allowing other actors to do more, especially Phil Hartman as WNYX's blowhard anchor, Bill McNeil. Hartman rises to the challenge in his last season; he tragically died before the start of season 5. Bill gets to be boss for a day, works on his lounge act, interviews a jumper (fellow SNL alum Jon Lovitz, his second go-around on the show), tries to prove he can tell jokes, seeks adoption, and invents interviews with celebrities. The penultimate 22-epoisode fourth season starts off with a goody-two-shoes efficiency expert played by future Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham raising havoc: Matthew (Andy Dick) is fired (but still hangs around the station), Lisa (Maura Tierney) takes over as manager, and Dave (Dave Foley) winds up as Bill's producer. When the expert leaves, things return to relatively normal with episodes on the new security system, owner Mr. James's (Stephen Root) ballooning adventure, Joe (Joe Rogan) showing his Ultimate Fighting persona, Beth (Vicki Lewis) going British for a charity auction, and the annual fantasy-episode placing the station on the Titanic. The show seemed ready to hit the mainstream by the end of the season, even introducing a new character, Mr. James's hunk nephew (Brad Rowe) who short circuits the office romances (Dave and Lisa are still apart, despite the "help" of others). Alexander certainly didn't have enough to do on the show, but her final episode is the season's best. When she quickly states she's leaving and runs out the door, everyone has a different version of what happened, played out with hilarious results. As before, the DVD set has commentary roundtables on a few key episodes and 20 minutes of knee-slapping bloopers. --Doug Thomas

It just can't get funnier than this show!!! August 30, 2008
Constant Reader (Souderton, PA USA)
This has to be the funniest sitcom EVER! Every single episode is hysterical. We watch it over and over, and never tire of it. If we have company and it's on, they're immediately hooked! I recommend this purchase if you need a laugh-you will NOT be let down. The characters are all endearing, and they feel like your own family once you're involved in watching it!
Can't get enough! August 12, 2008
Jennifer T. (Los Angeles, California United States)
I have the entire collection, and I can't stop watching them. I miss News Radio so much. In my opinion, it was, and is, in reruns, STILL the funniest show on TV. Lord knows we all wish selfishly that Phil Hartman was still with us, so the show could have gone on.
Non stop laughter at it's best! Thanx for the laughs guys...
Excellent and I love this show! February 8, 2008

Top Ten Funniest Shows Ever! January 17, 2008
L. Martin (Bucks Co. PA)
This show was so clever! It was a shame that between the idiots at NBC moving the time slot 20 times and Phil Hartman's death, it only ran 5 seasons. This show was "The Office" before the Office. Tremendous writing, and clever plots made it a classic. I own seasons 1-3 and just ordered 4 because it is still funny every time I watch it!
