I had just basic tv playing as background noise and the pilot episode for NewsRadio came on. I immediately was a bit interested because, as an old school Kids in the Hall fan, I’m a fan of Dave Foley… and then the names kept coming! Watching the opening credits, I knew nearly everyone.
Dave Foley
Maura Tierney (Still watching her regularly on Law & Order)
Andy Dick (meh)
John Ritter! (R.I.P.)
Phil Hartman (R.I.P.)
Joe Rogan (lol)
Stephen Root
Then, I went and perused the IMDb! Jon Lovitz, Patrick Warburton, Lauren Graham, David Cross, Odenkirk!, Norm McDonald!
I’m surprised I’d never heard of this show but, to be fair, in 1995 I was 15 and hitting the whole ‘sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll’ thing pretty hard and didn’t watch much TV for quite awhile.
