The 1st and 2nd seasons of Newsradio were finally released on DVD. It includes commentaries on 20 of the episodes. Newsradio was one of my favorite shows and it\’s great to have it on DVD finally. I haven\’t seen it since it went off the air but it\’s just as funny as I remember it.

This analysis of the show is worth another read too.
