I was pissed cause I didn't care to see Pilot but love Inapproiate. So I put it on at 2:39 and am like: Why is Matthew upset?

 

And then I was like: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

 

But at least we got Bill back.

I watched a great episode a few nights ago.

 

John Ritter guest starred as a therapist and Bill put a cubicle around his desk. Any thoughts on that episode?

That one is really funny.

 

I love when Matthew tells of Bill thinking he's in his cubicle and Bill is right behind him

I was watching today and something dawned me-

 

When did Jimmy James join the group? It seems like today he wasn't friends with these people at all- He was just the guy who wrote the paycheques.

 

So when did Jimmy kinda become one of the guys? Was it Station Sale?

"paycheques"? You're spelling like a Canadian after a week and a half!!

 

Yeah, in the beginning he wasn't as chummy with the gang..he was just kind of a boss character. I'll have to go back and see at what point he became Unca Jimmy.

Well, if it is any consellation, the girls at my high school carry around disposable cameras AND picture albums(!) in their big purses.

 

So maybe it's because Matthew is weird.

Bumping because I had a thought:

 

If NewsRadio was as big a hit as it should have been, what do you think about releasing a "real" Bill McNeal biography in the same fashion as those Twin Peaks cassettes?

A real Bill McNeal autobiography would be like god like.

 

I'm also bumping this cause bravesfan and incandenza mentioned their NR love

I always thought that merchandising tie-ins like that were kind of cheesy. Bill telling depressing stories about his childhood, like the sandwiches that his mom used to make, are funny in small doses on the show, but I don't know if I could take an entire book's worth

 

So just to keep the thread going for this week, what's the NewsRadio cast up to nowadays? We know about the following:

 

Joe: Fear Factor host (extra coolness factor: humiliating WWE superstars when they come on the show)

 

Maura :wub: : Abby Lockhart on ER

 

Khandi: coroner on the upcoming CSI: Miami

 

Vicki: married to a drunk. What's up with that? Did you see those pics of him getting a lapdance? She should marry me instead.

 

What about everybody else? Someone give us updates!

Joe was also a guest host of the Carson Daly show.

 

Jimmy was on a TV show a couple yrs ago (Ladies Man) and I think Dave does movies

Andy Dick is part of that new ABC fall comedy "Almost Perfect", which I'm pegging as the best new comedy for the fall season.

If you didn't see it on the news, there was an odd triple shooting in an office building in Times Square yesterday (involving some love triangle thing). What does this have to do with NR, you ask?

 

Well, it appears that the building appears to be the exact same one used for the WNYX exterior shots (the building isn't located where the show is actually set, on 59th & Madison).

 

How do ya like them apples?

Today-

Matthew: And they call an elevator a lift

Bill: I know

Matthew: they call cookies biscuits

Bill: Crazy people aren't they

Matthew: And they call a flashlight a torch

Bill: Yea well what do they call a torch?

 

I love that exchange for some reason

Get this- Sunday afternoon I was flipping channels and NEWSRADIO!~ was on.

 

It was the one where Bill is newsdirector. I gotta find it next week.

 

Today on A-n-E was the NR with Jerri from Survivor and THE BIG ROOM OF DOOM!

(This is in the newest TV Guide, the part called Worth Repeating or something. I'm paraphrasing because I'm sick and don't feel like getting up.)

 

NewsRadio's Dave Foley on costars Phil Hartman and Andy Dick:

 

"Phil's death was a huge shock to us. Andy's death we were prepared for."

 

-The E! True Hollywood Story: Andy Dick.

Yesterday was the episode with Norm!!!!

 

I hate though how A-n-E edits out a lot of the show.

 

Dave saying 'per penis' and Bill subsequently calling Dave a 'penis' were edited out.

 

Who was the penis that made that decision?
