NEWSRADIO IS BACK!

Recommended Posts

Guest areacode212

Ted.

He's dead.

And the hobbits and the gnomes, they're dancing to and fro

They have to keep the plus-two sword from the chaotic evil thief lord

Now we're rockin', now we're really rockin'

Now we're really really really really really rockin'

 

[plays air guitar]

 

But one day, Ted met an elf named Matthew

But Balrog the dragon was a clever beast

Matthew's vorpal sword of sharpness was no match...[get's interrupted]

But Matthew's mithril chain mail really rocked the house..."

[he plays air guitar]

It's from Copy Machine (you know, the one where the gang finds out that their coworker Ted died in a "freak accident". Then Ted's friend comes to the station to ask to share their memories of him. Of course, nobody does, but Matthew starts to sing a song he wrote about him.).

Ohhhhh yea-

 

Public Domain is now my second favourite episode- every scene is laugh out loud hilarious and its Bill-centric.

 

I love Bill and all but even I wanted to punch him for being such a dick during that episode

He was also on an episode of Night Court.

 

Does voice(s) on King of the Hill, which had a sorta Newsradio reunion in their 2nd (?) season when Andy, Vicki, and Maura all did voices in the same episode.

Bill Moves On is my third favourite episode and Matthew's letter always makes me cry

I like when Jimmy takes his Bill's desk.

 

Mover: "If you want a desk, I know a guy..."

Jimmy: "No, I want this desk right here"

Matthew: If for some strange reasson Bill does come back- don't tell him I put his coffee mug in my pants

"Shut up, you crazy bitch"

"That's just what Bill would have said"

Matthew (after Lisa reads her letter about Bill imagining her naked): "Are you sure that letter wasn't for me?"

I had teary eyes, but didn't cry, by the time Mr. James got Bill's desk. God, this episode was so bittersweet. Some great jokes, you know? But something bothered me: The Laughtrack goes off when the gang walks in for no reason. And, something I always notice that breaks my heart: When Matthew pulls out his marshmallow, you can hear Beth squeak out, "Oh, my God!" while fighting back tears. Gave me chills.

 

Props to getting this bumped. I was gonna when I knew "Bill Moves On" was coming on.

The "White Noise" episode is a pretty good Season 5 episode. Plus Lisa is lookin' gooooood :)

True dat.

 

Although there are some episodes where they seemingly didn't do anything w/ her hair (it just sits there looking bad), which takes her down a bit. But for the most part, you're right.

Ahhh, the episode where NewsRadio really started to lose it: the "Jimmy is DB Cooper" episode. The first introduction to Johnny Johnson, arguably the only character worse than Max Lewis.

 

Johnny is just not likable in the least. At least when Bill was being an SOB, he was likable & funny. You just can't connect w/ Johnny.

 

Plus, he marries Lisa. Boo, Lisa. Boooo. Poor, poor Dave.

I hate the Jon Lovitz era.... he is not funny.

 

I was watching Liar Liar today, and Lisa (Muary Tierna i think) was in that movie...damn she is a fine looking woman

To be fair, Lovitz does have some good moments. But all-in-all, the "Lovitz era" just didn't have the same feel.

 

It's arguable if they could have ever recovered from losing Hartman. It would be interesting to see what John Laroquette could have done (there were rumors he was a candidate).

 

And it's Maura Tierney.

One thing that the D.B. Cooper story led to that was good: Adam West.

 

My God. My childhood and young adult years are connected by Adam West in so many ways, it isn't funny.

 

Anybody have any NewsRadio dreams? Last night, I dreamt Dave Foley took over "Win Ben Stein's Money" and just talked about how he was rich from NBC money and answered every question.
