Hi,

I would like to know how 'Newsradio' did in the ratings during the time it aired.
I'm not asking for all the numbers available, but at least some idea about its performance. Maybe a brief description of the show's run, its highs and lows.

We got the show on cable where i live (Latin AMerica) and we still get reruns of the seasons except for the last one.
Since there's not much information available here, i'm asking for some help.

Thanks in advance.

I have the Entertainment Weekly for when the show debuted. The pilot episode came in 26th place, just behind Wings (25th). So it started off pretty good. Around season two the show would occassionally come in the top 30. I heard that during the third season, the move to Wednesdays turned NewsRadio into NBC lowest rated comedy. When "Bill Moves ON" was rerun on Thursday, it came in the top twenty. The show ended 75th for the year. Which was still higher than some other shows that came back.

During the last season, NR would consistently IMPROVE on lead in "3rd Rock." I am also a fan of 3rd Rock, but it just shows the favoritism that NBC played against NR.
