David Bianculli

Jul 16, 2013

Season 1 Review: The crispest, wittiest and most delightful new sitcom of the season making as self-assured, clever and distinctive a debut as "Frasier" did last season. [20 Mar 1995]

Ken Tucker

Jun 11, 2013

Season 1 Review: It not only has all the classic sitcom ingredients but also adds a new, more refined aggression to the mix. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

Jul 16, 2013

Season 1 Review: NewsRadio is, like Murphy Brown, a slightly sophisticated (it is television, after all) ensemble comedy set in the newsroom, in which each character blends a healthy portion of absurdity with a strong slice of reality. But NewsRadio is better than Murphy Brown ever was. [21 Mar 1995]

Robert Bianco

Jul 16, 2013

Season 1 Review: I was very upbeat about 'NewsRadio' when I'd only seen the pilot -- and then NBC went and sent a second episode. [21 Mar 1995]

David Zurawik

Jul 16, 2013

Season 1 Review: Despite being so derivative, it is brimming with promise. [21 Mar 1995]

Hal Boedeker

Jul 16, 2013

Season 1 Review: It might not seem new - I kept thinking of The Mary Tyler Moore Show - or consistently inspired, but there are enough reasons to tune in. Or rather, not to tune out this polished, middle-of-the-road comedy. [21 Mar 1995]

Tom Shales

Jul 16, 2013

Season 1 Review: The show is jumpy, jerky and scattershot. It has the personality of a nitrous oxide abuser. [21 Mar 1995]
