re: Newsradio is woefully underappreciated. Any other fans?

I think Hartman was the only established name at the time the show came on. Nobody knew Rogan, Foley, Tierney or Dick before that and few knew Root.

Yeah, not really true. Maybe they weren't mainstream in Hollywood, but Andy Dick and Dave Foley were well known at the time. Dick was a regular on The Ben Stiller Show, and had several appearances in movies in the early 90's, and Dave Foley was known from his role on Kids In the Hall, and also appeared in a handful of early 90's movies.

I will say though that I was a stoner college student at the time and was way into a lot of those "undergound" type comedy sketch shows - Kids In the Hall, Mr Show(Foley was in at least one episode of it), Ben Stiller Show, SCTV(not a 90's show, but reruns were on TV a lot back then), etc. So maybe my perception is off.
