Well, I'm watching this season on DVD and, yes, while we all know that the episodes are immensely pleasing, I have to scold the production team for their commentaries. It could have been great if they had taken the slightest effort to even watch the episodes they were intending to comment on before appearing in the recording studio. At least know the plot, and better yet - plan ahead with a few scintillating technical details and stories from the set. Instead the commenters were reaching back ten years or so to try to remember ANYTHING to say about the episodes. If I may paraphrase the commentaries - "Does anyone know what's going on here? Totally incorrect assessment of the plot line on screen. Well, I guess we've run out of things to say. We suck. Hahahaha!" Several times they'd point out a guest actor and say "Oh, that guy! What's his name? He went on to do something, what was it? Does anyone remember his name?" The one exception was Rose Bowl, in which the writers yakked endlessly (I fast forwarded through most of it after a while) about George "Goober" Lindsey, who appears for 20 seconds towards the end of the episode in an appearance that was painfully padded to attempt to make it worth the effort. The other 25 minutes of the episode was forgotten to them.

As one reviewer mentioned earlier in his complaints about the shoddy commentary - Maura Tierney had to be telephoned for commentary because she had a work conflict. However, even though she couldn't see the show, it turned out that she's the only one who's see the shows in the past ten years and was actually able to make some of the most interesting and relevant commentary from the set of ER.

If you're a Newsradio fan, you'll want to have it for the episodes. But I must detract a star because the production team totally flaked out on their fans and posterity, sort of devaluing (through apparent neglect and disrespect) their show that their fans love.

The overlooked comedy of NewsRadio. Phil Hartman, Andy Dick, Dave Foley amongst all the others. What an ensemble!
To me, Phil Hartman really thrives in this role & makes the series top notch. After his passing, I don't think it keep going with quality it had seen before.
Season 3 - when the series begins to real click, the characters have been established. Seasons 1 & 2 are good, but the writers are finding their niche w/ their actors & characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this season.

I'm not sure what other viewers were looking for from this season but I remember this being one of their BEST. Mr. James in the radio box. Mr. James running for President.. to meet women. The whole breakdown of pretty vs cute vs sexy. I really enjoyed watching it when it was on TV. These were the eps that stood out MOST in my mind.

I'm well on my way to getting ALL the seasons on DVD. Every month i buy one more. Se 4 here I come. :)

Looked forward to this because of the reviews here. But to us it was very disappointing. Not very funny. The station owner says nothing that is laughable, and hardly any other characters do.

I got it in a timely fashion and no errors in the dvd. Great condition!!!
Great great great!!!!
