NewsRadio is one of the few TV series I actually have on DVD. I have the Hartman seasons only; I prefer to pretend his character didn't die and they just ended the show between the 3rd and 4th seasons (or whichever season numbers they were). Phil Hartman was the only reason I watched Saturday Night Live in the latter half of the 1980s. He could be funny even with unfunny material to work from.
I watched SNL intermittently in the early '80s, but it was nothing special. When Hartman joined the show in '86 is where it became something that I made a point of watching. I used to have the Best of Phil Hartman SNL DVD. It is just fantastic from beginning to end, and I am sure then could have made it a few hours longer and still not run out amazing sketches.Remember the golden years of SNL 90s? Sigh...
