This is actually my fault, if we go by previous psychic deaths. I should make sure not to talk about MITCH MCCONNELL at any time. We wouldn't want to lose MITCH MCCONNELL because I heard he plays banjo.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 4:05pmBullshit! Kory named him and therefore dealt him the mentioning blow.

I put the first two seasons of NewsRadio on hold at the library. We'll see if it held up.

Re: The NewsRadio appreciation thread
Finally got the first two seasons and started watching last night. Good golly this show was pretty stinkin' awesome. The first two episodes where Dave and Lisa started fooling around was a little ehn but at the 3rd episode it took off. I forgot Joe Rogan was in this. And hello 90s fashion. Wow. I forgot how much I loved clothes from the 90s.

That it made Joe Rogan decent was NewsRadio's most improbable success.Mimi wrote: ↑07 Apr 2021, 12:17pmFinally got the first two seasons and started watching last night.

I don't know much about Joe so I'll take your word for it. I've heard his names for years but can't recall seeing him in...anything?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Apr 2021, 12:21pmThat it made Joe Rogan decent was NewsRadio's most improbable success.Mimi wrote: ↑07 Apr 2021, 12:17pmFinally got the first two seasons and started watching last night.

Re: The NewsRadio appreciation thread
Joe Rogan didn't realize his newsradio character was supposed to be a joke so just went on and built the rest of his career around being that guy but for real.

Re: The NewsRadio appreciation thread
I've been watching Newsradio on and off for the past couple months and reached the last episode of season 4, the Titanic one and also Phil Hartman's final appearance. So many jokes about death, especially those made by PH, make it super uncomfortable to watch. I recommend skipping it.

Re: The NewsRadio appreciation thread
Awww. I think I got through the first 2 seasons, maybe 3 recently, can't remember now, and I enjoyed it a lot. Didn't really appreciate how wonderful Phil was from when I watched it years ago. He was a comic genius.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 8:27amI've been watching Newsradio on and off for the past couple months and reached the last episode of season 4, the Titanic one and also Phil Hartman's final appearance.

Re: The NewsRadio appreciation thread
There is real value in having a showrunner and cast that know their network are idiots and thumb their noses at it all the time. The rat funeral episode, I found out, was because NBC wanted its bloc of comedies to do a 4 weddings and a funeral theme one night, which the Newsradio gang thought was stupid, so they did one on recurring rat funerals. Which was funny … and funny.Mimi wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 8:33amAwww. I think I got through the first 2 seasons, maybe 3 recently, can't remember now, and I enjoyed it a lot.
