Newsradio (TV series 1995-1999)

[Socko]

I would love to see this show in HD.
On imdb it says it is filmed on 35mm.

The show was pretty popular.
Phil Hartman was great in this. Even Andy Dick was funny.

No love for Newsradio?

Distribution:
Mill Creek Entertainment (2014) (USA) (DVD) (seasons 1 & 2)
Mill Creek Entertainment (2015) (USA) (DVD) (complete series)
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2005) (USA) (DVD) (seasons 1 and 2)
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2006) (USA) (DVD) (seasons 3 and 4)
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2007) (USA) (DVD) (season 5)
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2008) (USA) (DVD) (complete series)

So either Sony or Millcreek is allowed to do it.

Joe Rogan was also in it in his early days of starting in stand-up and tv shows too believe he actually had some hair in this show now he is completely shaved down almost bald if not already there.

One of my favorite 90s sitcoms. "Good times..."

[danielshock]

Love it and yes I would want the blu. Like the Trek blu rays the DVD’s are terrible... blurry smeary mess.

[willbfree]

Yeah, it was a great show. One of the few series that I stooped to buying on DVD when a “complete series” DVD set came out from Mill Creek.

Any idea if an HD version has turned up anywhere?

I bought the Sony DVD's earlier this year so I’ve done my part. Bring it on.

[thecooldud]

One of my fave comedy series ever.

I mailed Mill Creek a few months back, but forgot to mention their reply on here:

Good Morning,

Thank you for contacting Mill Creek Entertainment with you product inquiry.
Currently, there isn’t any plans for releasing NewsRadio on Blu-ray.
Your suggestion will be forwarded to the appropriate parties for further review and consideration.
Thank you for the suggestion and please visit our social media sites for new release announcements and other product information.

Well I tried
Maybe they'll surprise us next year with a 25th anniversary edition. Who knows.

Sitcoms don't seem to do well on Blu-Ray. We're lucky Paramount Germany released Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971).

[Veronica Mars]

We'll never see a bd release of this sadly.

"The original title of this book was 'Jimmy James, Capitalist Lion Tamer'
but I see now that it's... 'Jimmy James, Macho Business Donkey Wrestler'...
you know what it is... I had the book translated in to Japanese then back
in again into English. Macho Business Donkey Wrestler... well there you
go... it's got kind of a ring to it don't it? Anyway, I wanted to read from
chapter three... which is the story of my first rise to financial
prominence... I had a small house of brokerage on Wall Street... many days
no business come to my hut... my hut... but Jimmy has fear? A thousand
times no. I never doubted myself for a minute for I knew that my monkey
strong bowels were girded with strength like the loins of a dragon ribboned
with fat and the opulence of buffalo... dung. ...Glorious sunset of my
heart was fading. Soon the super karate monkey death car would park in my
space. But Jimmy has fancy plans... and pants to match. The monkey clown
horrible karate round and yummy like cute small baby chick would beat the
donkey."

Just a heads up, from what I understand, the Mill Creek release is actually missing an episode, "The Injury". On the original season releases, it was available on both season 2 & 3 [it was produced for 2 but, because of network censorship, it didn't air until season 3].

Wow! What a mess up. Thanks for the heads up.

It should be on disc 3 according to this, but i will check this weekend:

Weird update on this -- I was talking to somebody on a Newsradio fanpage, and Mill Creek actually repressed the discs with "The Injury". Not sure if there was any replacement program, but if you bought the bad disc, you might get lucky and be able to get a replacement, it's certainly worth reaching out to them over.

[willbfree]

My copy does have it, as the last episode on disc 3.

[thatguamguy]

I'm glad they fixed this, it makes me wonder if they went back and fixed the Lee Harvey Oswald episode on the "Quantum Leap" blu-rays and just never told anybody.

[Socko]

Alright, I'm gonna click order on this in a bit.
Thank me when this gets released on blu-ray
