NewsRadio Cancelled
Posttemp
out this morning that NewsRadio is cancelled. I thought that you guys should
know before the press.
You guys have been great supporters of the program and all of us writers loved
reading your posts. Although Xpeeple could be quite annoying.
So carry on, I'm sure you will all continue to dissect and analyze every
sindicated episode as it airs.
So kudos to you all and good day sirs. Yes, I said good day sirs.
P.S. Sorry, Josh, I posted before you could.

Because of the spelling errors, I'm hoping that this note is bogus. Of
course, you don't have to be a good speller to be a good writer, so...
Damn, this is so maddening! At the very least, "NewsRadio" deserves to
reach the magic 100 episode mark.
IF the post is genuine, I hope any "NewsRadio" staffers who follow this
newsgroup will pass my thanks to the entire cast and crew for the many
hours of joy they have provided. "NewsRadio" is a jewel and it's a shame
that the network never realized that they had a classic on their hands.

Dear Mr. Higgins,
If you are, indeed, who you seem to be, and this is true, thanks for
letting us know. And thank you very much for your--and your
colleagues--outstanding, underappreciated work on the show.
So, what's the chance that people from the show will now actually post
here and give us the cold, hard facts about all those things about which
we've speculated so feverishly?
All the best, and let us know where you all land. I suspect we'll
follow. (Especially if you abduct Dave Foley and forcibly cast
him...you've seen his fearsome, awe-inspiring cult in these parts).
Happy trails, and best wishes,
bill walsh

Josh could post anyway though, if he wants to. =) I'm gonna assume this
is the real deal, although I certainly wouldn't mind looking stupid if
it turns out the show was renewed after all...
Thanks for lettin' us know, dude.

cynical), but apparently this is true. Damn damn damn. We all knew this was
coming, I guess. Words cannot express how much I loathe NBC right now. Not
only this, but they also cancelled "H:LotS." Baaaaaad. Anyway, I'm to angry
to post anything relevent, but I was just lurking in the Homicide ng, and they
are basically dealing with the same thing over there. Actually, someone posted
something which just about sums up all my (and yours, possibly) feelings about
NBC. I enjoyed:
"I hope every single Providence and Dawson's Creek knockoff NBC produces is a
major failure. NBC is a piece of shit, it has been for years, carried by the
coattails of Seinfeld and ER. After one show left and the other began to
decline in ratings, NBC's bad programming choices were more obvious than ever.
Except Law and Order, I can't even think of a show on NBC I would watch unless
held at gunpoint. At least there's still HBO, the network that treats their
comedies and dramas with respect, no laugh tracks, creative freedom, allowing
them to cast based on talent, not looks.
NBC is a cesspool, a wasteland, and Homicide's cancellation has made that
wasteland much larger"
Hmmph, now just substitute NR for any H:LotS references, and it's a perfect
fit.

Well, it doesn't sound like a professional writer (the sentence structure

they misspelled syndicated are all hints to me that it might not be real.

Oh, we surly denizens of alt.tv.homicide have not yet begun to snarl.
I have only lurked in this fair newsgroup from time to time, and only popped
in once or twice, but I wanted to add my wails to the din. Newsradio is my
favorite comedy and I'm crushed at its loss. Beneath its overt shticks
smirked a dark edge I absolutely adored. Dave Foley is a god.

Wow. Just the thought that I can sit here discussing the calculus AP with
people I've never actually met seems somehow strange, so I have to do it. If
you wish to ignore it, that is fine.
CALCULUS CRAP:
I wasn't sure about a couple things, like the one about writing a Riemann
sum. There was one question which seemed impossible. It was the one about
g(x)=e^(-2x)(3f(x)-2f'(x)) and find g'(x). That one stumped me, until I
realized it was simply the product rule f'(uv)=vdu+udv.
All in all, I think I did well. This post helped me getmy mind off of "the
evil deed," as it shall hereafter be known.

Listening to "Good Weird Feeling" by (the) Odds has helped a little --
although I did realize 5 seconds into "Anybody Else But You" (the song
I started with 'cause it was stuck in my head, and I adore it) that I'm
listening to a band that recently broke-up. Fitting, I suppose -- I've
never seen NewsRadio or (the) Odds live. :p
::sigh:: Today was *supposed* to be a good day.
I kicked ASS on my Calculus exam... or, that's the way it felt to me.
I found out that Queen's U is offering me a Principal's Scholarship.
It's the day before my birthday.
It's like that rubber band metaphor that Ted Danson used on Becker
(heh, I was watching TDS.. <g>)-- you can only stretch the rubber band
so far, before it snaps back at you.
Never thought I'd quote Ted Danson on a Life Truth, but there ya go. <g>
Trust me, if I could give up doing well on my exams, getting that
scholarship, and having my birthday for one more season of NR, I
would. I know that sounds pathetic, but I would.
There's SO much EVIL in the world. :p
But, thank you to the writers, cast, and crew of NewsRadio for making
it a little less evil for these past 4 years. So much talent between
all of you -- I'm truly looking forward to everyone's future
endeavours. :)

IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Sorry, had to get that off my chest. NBC had a great show, and they
ruined it by stages. And it's not just the unpreventable things, like
Phil Hartman dying. Jon Lovitz was an awful choice to replace him (why
not Pat Cashman instead? He even sounds like Phil!). Every single
character ended up suffering from "rut-itis" (when they simply become
personality types instead of real people). Matthew was the worst. You
people completely lost track of who he was. Remember when Matthew was a
competent reporter? Remember how he even understood the New Hampshire
primaries better than Lisa in one episode? Remember how he
used to be infuriated by Bill? Matthew's personality was
that of a perfectly competent but rather flaky guy, a bit
gullible, easily offended by
"politically incorrect" issues, the sort of person who would lecture you
on the rainforests, BUT still a good reporter. You turned him into some
sort of bizarre freak who was simply not at all funny. In fact, looking
closer at the show, it seems to me that every single character went from
being very good at what they do, to completely ineffective morons. If I
want idiots, I'll watch Seinfeld, for chrissakes!
This show deserved to die two seasons ago. Better late then never, and
at least the brilliant early seasons will continue on in syndication.
What a waste.

History. My teacher slams her hand on the desk and calls us all "stupid." She
accidentally spits on my face. Fun fun.
Softball. I hate the sport with an unbridled passion. I did catch a few flies
but I also had two errors. And I struck out three times. And I got home at
8:15. And I have a big paper for English due tomorrow. And I don't have time

Considering the situations you have had to deal with: Troubles with the

leaving the show, Phil's tragic death, and about 100,000 different time slots
you made a small rag-tag group of people laugh like fools every Tuesday (or
Wednesday, or the ocassional Thursday, or Sunday, or whenever the hell NBC
aired it) [sorry for the Battlestar Galactica reference with "Rag tag" but damn
those Cylons at NBC]
Thanks for a great 5 years on NBC, and maybe somebody will pick the show up
at least for a 2-hour movie to know what happened in New Hampshire.

Hints, yes. But typos are commonplace in newsgroups, since it's not like
writing a script, novel or term paper, but spur of the moment thought.
Anyway, regardless of if it is actually the writer, I have heard from
another source that NewsRadio is not on the 1999 Fall Schedule. Now,
that was as of yesterday ... and they do sometimes make last minute changes.
But I'm prepared for the worst (but still hoping my friend is wrong).

But for some odd reason, I don't find myself too broken up about the news.
Maybe it's because I've been down this road many, many times before
(with Ned & Stacey, Space: Above & Beyond, Sliders, etc. etc... hmm, maybe
it's just because Fox sucks even more than NBC.)

think my favorite is 2nd or 3rd... which was "Daydream" in? Around that time.),
it has been silly, at times hilarious, fun, and surreal, and I think one of the
things I will REALLY regret about this wretched cancellation is not getting to
see more than one season of Jon's work as Max Louis. So you see, it's a matter
of opinion whether or not the episodes this season have "sucked", and many of
us think that they absolutely the opposite of sucked.
Sorry, but it's true.

This is my favorite part. This is why I want the post to be real. <g>
Well, even those who don't believe that a Writer of Our Favorite Show (and a
HIGGINS nonetheless!!) would lower himself to post here (and, well, I do
believe it)... we've also heard it straight from the cow-man's mouth.
And although the news hurts like a hoof to the belly, the way-- and fact--
that it was given is like a mouthful of sweet grass.

My sentiments exactly, shelshka.
Really, down to the bits about lurking in this newsgroup from time to
time.
And how we've not yet begun to wail, growl, etc in alt.tv.homicide.
To have both my favorite drama and comedy cancelled by NBC, to learn
of it in the same night. Too cruel. :-(
I'm sadder and madder than I can possibly say.
Thank goodness for reruns in syndication, yes, but to never have any
new bits from these fab writers and actors and other fine folks is
just awful.
Both NewsRadio and Homicide were mistreated by NBC, not promoted
properly (if at all), etc etc etc. I better stop or I'll start

Exactly. Typos, schmypos. I trust that Mr. Higgins Boy has given us the word,
and I really appreciate it. I don't know if I'm was feeling optimistic or in
denial (and how can you tell the difference?), but now that I know, I feel sad.
And resigned. And I'm awfully glad that the folks at NR have acknowledged us
this nicely. Mike, as always, thanks thanks thanks. And Mr. H., kudos to you
sir, and kudos again!
And to everyone there, thanks for giving us this brilliant hilarious program.
This isn't the first time network tv has had its head utterly up its ass, but
it's just so ... idiotic.
You know, used to be that tv shows got cancelled, you got sad, and then you
moved on. And now it's the tv show ending, you get sad, and then you look
around at all the people you've been cyber-watching the show with and realize
that there's more to lose. Reruns we've got, but will this group be the same?
Nah. Still, c'est la vie, eh.
Mwah! to the NR people. Thanks for everything. I miss the characters already. I
know I'll see the actors in wonderful roles, but I can't believe I won't find
out what happens to Unca Jeemee and company. At least I won't have to organize
my school schedule around NBC's ilzniddiotities.
You know ... ok, I'm rambling, I know it. But I was just thinking about how
reading Pogo cartoons as a child (and adult), I gained a certain style of
speaking that I recognize in other Pogophiles (and that you won't know if you
didn't read Pogo) -- and the same will certainly be true of WNYXicans. If you
see someone ten or 20 years from now who says she's going bitchcakes, you'll
know something about that person. Now that's cooooool.
Something from Mr. Higgins to either be proud of, or to lose sleep over :). It
might not have changed the entire American vernacular, but it has certainly
created its own little culture group.

Because the transcendant value of popular culture is cool. Cool trumps
virtue, cool trumps morals, cool trumps seriousness, cool trumps
everything. Enthusiasm is not cool. In fact, it's the opposite of cool.
So as an enthusiast, you are uncool. (Cool meaning here, for the verbally
challenged, an ironic (often derisive) distance from the object regarded.
Perfect illustration: on "Homerpalooza," the two nose-ringed guys watching
Homer. MOPE: "Oh, the guy with the cannon. *He's* cool." DOPE: "Are you
being sarcastic?" MOPE: "I don't even know any more.")
And I don't really think sports fans are immune from the cool
syndrome--look at all the ads making fun of the idiots who go out and
paint themselves out of passion for their teams (and/or a desire to get on
tv, which is--of course--more risible). Sports fandom, however, is a big
enough subculture that it's largely immune, within its own circles.
However, I know plenty of women who construe sports enthusiasm as a
specifically masculine loser-dom. (Then my wife hits 'em with a hockey
stick.)

Mmhmm! It certainly seems special to me.
I mean, you hear things like "yadda yadda yadda" or "master of my

But, imagine if you were waiting in the emergency room ('cause you
chopped off a finger, or something... I dunno <g>) and you started
getting angry about the 5 hour wait... and the head nurse says,
"Alright, stop going bitchcakes about it! Geez, someone's been riding

Wouldn't that just bowl you over? I know I'd start going nuts. <g>
Hell, I was ecstatic when this girl in my graphics class saw me doing

really great comedy troupe..."
"No, not that."
"...and, NewsRadio..."
"Oh! NewsRadio! Yeah!"
A high school kid aware of the existence of NewsRadio, despite NBC's
attempts to bury it since day one. Amazing.
Three guys also walked by at different times on their own, saw Dave and
said, "Hey! Kids In The Hall! They're the best thing on Comedy

Well...
Part II was hard... I'm not denying that. I figure I did well enough
on Part I to make up for it. I completely screwed up question 6... got
the answer "0" for everything, so it must be wrong -- had no idea what
I was supposed to do. <g>
I don't know how they mark it, but it *felt* like I did really well on
it, 'cause there wasn't anything that I couldn't recognize -- like,
"oh, that's logarithmic differentiation" or whatever -- and I got
through the entire test. I skipped two questions on Part I, and wrote
something down for everything on Part II -- even though all of q6 is
definitely wrong. My teacher said it's better to write *something*
than *nothing*, so I did write *something* -- don't know if it's right
though.

You know what? I've decided to go to U of Toronto, and I found out
that they won't give me credit for it... nor will they give me credit
for my AP US History, on which I got a 4. Luckily, I'm not really
planning on taking any more math courses in college, so, I don't *need*
it. <g>
But, the history one pisses me off. They'll only give me credit for
Physics B and Macro and Micro-econ (together)... and I KNOW I'm not
going to pull off a 4 on any of those. I'll be lucky to get a score on
the positive side of the scale since I haven't studied AT ALL.
So, in summation, I'm putting myself through hell for NO BLOODY REASON.

I've loved NR, since about the second season, I didn't get a computer 'til last
October; I didn't really start reading NG stuff 'til about January; and I'm
sure I've posted less than five things in this NG. Anyway, weird as it may
sound, I managed to make my best friend, as well as a great deal of my family,
aware of NR. I mean, I've made them sit down and watch the episodes I taped
over again, because I thought thay missed a little the first time around. And
they tell me how they've been watching the shows in syndication too. My use of
the word "bitchcakes" even rubbed off on my mom. When I told them all that it
was cancelled, they were all shocked and/or angry and rightly so. The point is,
if there is one, that the humor in NR ... well I don't quite know how to put
it... it really reached me, if that makes any sense. Now that I've just started
reading the posts in this NG (for about a week), I see that I'm not the only
person who really "got" the show, which was how I felt for a few years. And
it's nice to see that I wasn't alone, even though it seemed so.

Oh, bless you, my child. :)
What Bill said about it is a lot of what I've said about it elsewhere, at
enormous detail. What I posted wasn't so much a "I don't understand, please
tell me," 'cause I *do* have my theories. But, yeah, Bill, I agree. It's that
postmodern ironic snotty stance that makes enjoyment oh-so-boring. I would
suggest that anyone who finds enthusiasm ridiculous simply doesn't recognize
their own enthusiasms.
Also, while sports guys who paint themselves up in team colors may get their
share of ribbing, the standard sports fan (who knows the stats of favorite
players and all that stuff) doesn't get his share of ribbing 'cause it's a Guy
Thing. And Guy Things are implicitly ok. (And yes, I know that women do it too
-- but it's still a Guy Thing.)
Whereas being a "fan" is often construed (not always but often) as a Girl
Thing, and therefore suspect. Being a fan touches you, deep down inside. Where
you're soft. Like a woman.
:) But like Tavie said, it's obviously a shared experience and creative -- not
passive and loner-like -- and this newsgroup is an obvious example of that.
What's especially cool is how the interaction between the fans and the
object-of-our-affection has intermingled here in ways that I think are new and
really fantastic, thanks to the internet thingy. For example: Haikus!
(I still want to believe that they borrowed that from us <g> -- and maybe they
borrowed some other stuff too. God knows, while I laughed at the show almost
every moment, I yelped when Matthew did the haiku <g>).
Off that topic, I just wanna share a moment that keeps coming back to me that
was funny and charming and never-before-mentioned here, and so tiny that it
could zip right past you and not be noticed, but I always notice it, and it's
just a single example of the skill with which everyone played their roles.
Simply that, when Dr. Frank wakes Jimmy up from his 'trance,' Jimmy stretches
and his toes wiggle and the tips of his socks flap, and that single moment just
makes me laugh every time.

I told a whole bunch of people in my family.
My mom said "that's a crying shame" She never really watched it much, but she
was sad, because she knows how important it is to me. I love my mom.
My Uncle John was surprised, because he likes the show a lot, and he watches it
with me.
My Aunt Cindy was downright pissed off. She taped it every week, so she could
watch it with her boyfriend who works while it's on.
My cousin Mark was angry. I got him hooked on it a few years ago.
My best friend was upset. She liked it but never really watched it, except when
I made her. Like when I felt that she *had* to hear about Frodo the Paranoid
Gnome, and the song about Ted from accounting.
I'm sure that no one really needed to know any of that, but my family is on our
side, and I felt like I had to say so.

Anyone know how we'd go about getting one of those?

Oh, it's a little sticky.
Wait-- that's my lucky peanut chew.

If NBC continues in the direction it's going now, we won't need much more
than that...
