Is it possible for a sitcom to have a personality?
Newsradio wasn’t given the most auspicious of starts. Although it was commissioned on the spot, two scenes into the pilot recording, by network boss Warren Littlefield, it only had a seven episode first season commitment. And things went downhill from there.
But when I first found it on The Paramount Comedy Channel, I was hooked, and haven’t forgotten it ever since.
