-
The crispest, wittiest and most delightful new sitcom of the season making as self-assured, clever and distinctive a debut as "Frasier" did last season. [20 Mar 1995]
-
NewsRadio is a nervier, more sophisticated version of WKRP in Cincinnati, updated to a time when people are much less secure about their jobs and far more wary about each other.
-
It not only has all the classic sitcom ingredients but also adds a new, more refined aggression to the mix.
-
A comedy worth telling your friends about. [20 Mar 1995]
-
NewsRadio is, like Murphy Brown, a slightly sophisticated (it is television, after all) ensemble comedy set in the newsroom, in which each character blends a healthy portion of absurdity with a strong slice of reality. But NewsRadio is better than Murphy Brown ever was. [21 Mar 1995]
-
It operates on such a high frequency of inspired lunacy, it instantly renders this busy midseason's other hopefuls just so much sitcom static to be tuned out. [21 Mar 1995]
-
It's not as nasty as "Larry Sanders," but "NewsRadio" will tickle discerning audiences with its finely tuned sense of irony and its frank handling of office intrigue, power struggles and sexual tension. [21 Mar 1995]
-
The best comedy ensemble to come along in a while. [21 Mar 1995]
-
Sprightly, sharp, caustic and, most of all, funny. [21 Mar 1995]
-
Be assured, "NewsRadio" is no "Larry Sanders." Yet just like that HBO series, Simms' new one plays better than it reads. That's because the characters are imbued with amusingly quirky affectations that aren't necessarily visible in a script.
-
Despite being so derivative, it is brimming with promise. [21 Mar 1995]
-
A good concept in need of nurturing. [20 Mar 1995]
-
I was very upbeat about 'NewsRadio' when I'd only seen the pilot -- and then NBC went and sent a second episode. [21 Mar 1995]
-
Seattle Post-IntelligencerJul 16, 2013An exceptionally promising candidate for success. Maybe. [21 Mar 1995]
