All in all, I liked the episode. I loved seeing behind the scenes of NewsRadio. What they skipped though was:

-As NewsRadio was beginning, Andy Dick was on the revival series "Get Smart". Andy told the press that NewsRadio was a better show, which almost caused controversy, but "Get Smart" was canceled, so no one cared.

-Actor James Caan who guest starred in episode #37. "Movie Star" actually discovered Dick's drug/alcohol problem and had him go to an AA meeting.

-Andy Dick dated a beautiful intern from NewsRadio. I don't know if they broke up though.

-Not only did Andy not like the fifth season of NewsRadio, but he didn't like Jon Lovitz.

-Andy did the short lived comedy "Go Fish" in Summer 2001.

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I know.
