  I'll never forget him from such celebrity funerals as "Andre The Giant, We Hardly Knew Ye" and "Shemp Howard: Today We Mourn A Stooge."

  Definitely one of the more underrated work coms. Phil Hartman's tribute episode was simply beautiful, and you can tell that his coworkers all liked and respected him.

  I moved from Philly to Tampa Bay in the early 90s, when I was like 22. I didn&apos;t watch much TV in those days, as I was busy with work and a social life. In 95, my mom called me to tell me to watch News Radio. I knew about KITH, but I &nbsp;hadn&apos;t heard about News Radio until she told me about it. As soon as I realized Dave Foley was in it, I knew it was going to be great. I&apos;d tape it every week, watch as soon as I could, and then I&apos;d call home so my mom and I could talk about each episode.<br><br>I was pretty homesick those first few years, and my mom unexpectedly passed away a few years later. Those conversations where we&apos;d laugh for an hour while we dissected the latest episode of News Radio are some of the last memories I have of her. It makes rewatching the show a little bittersweet, but laughing along with this show brings a lot of happy memories

  Phil Hartmans impact in writing, sketch work, sitcoms and voice acting is truly incredible looking back. A void that has not been filled by anyone else since.

  Fun Fact about NewsRadio: My parents when they were dating used to call each other up on the phone to watch it together when new episodes aired, and I think that&apos;s pretty sweet.

  Every time my wife and I see Stephen Root in anything we always identify him as Jimmy James. &nbsp;One of the greatest character performers of our time!

  &quot;Bill?&quot;<br>&quot;Yes Dave?&quot; <br>&quot;.....I stole your cane&quot; is probably my all time favorite sitcom bit. Such an amazing and underrated show.

  This show and Community had such similar journeys, it&apos;s weird. Still one of my all-time favorite sitcoms, and grossly underrated.

  The real deal with Bill McNeil is forever stuck in my head, along with &quot;Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor&quot;

  Another great episode. The tribute to Phil Hartman was heartwarming. His presence in still missed in this world 26 years later 😢
