News Radio

Question:

What do you think of the series News Radio?

(I think it's brilliant, but not as brilliant as Seinfeld.)

Yeah it was good. It was certainly over-shadowed by Seinfeld when it was on.

I don't really know the exact conditions News Radio was aired under (I thought it was on NBC while Seinfeld was still running), but I think I can watch this show totally apart from Seinfeld, because it has different kinds of humor. In Seinfeld, next to being_dumb humor you can find very complicated jokes, which I think make up Seinfeld. But in News Radio there are just a few blowheads trying to run a station and that's what makes the show so cool to watch, it's when in The Robbery the cop talks to jerry:

-Jerry: Do you ever find anything? -Cop: Nah.

And News Radio has alot of that kind of humor. At least, that's the way I see but. To make it simple, I do like Seinfeld better then News Radio, but they're both great series and I can watch them both without losing attention to one of them, but I don't know if that was the same for everyone when it was still on. (I don't live in the USA so I didn't see it when it first aired).

Excellent show, underrated and ignored, especially by NBC, which kept shifting it, especialy in its latter years. It featued an excellent ensemble cast, the humor really wasn't Seinfeldesque. That said, it's still not in the same quality as Seinfeld, which is nothing to be ashamed of.
