If the other reviewer thinks Newz tried too hard, look at current Madtv episodes that are desperate for laughs. Just because a show is cheap and low-profile, it shouldn't be denied a chance. Look at "Almost Live", one of the chinciest comedy shows since SCTV and one of the greatest of all time. The Newz was not one of the greatest, but I remember it fondly and missed it when it disappeared. I remember "The Newz". Always worth a few good laughs every half-hour. Not so great that I even thought of it much since 1994, but I was checking out the page of a much better sketch show, "The Edge" and remembered. I would love to see this show again, although barring getting a job at the archive, I doubt I ever will. The Newz had a fresh cast, likable and the show had spunk. I remember a sketch where a lady at a deli keeps demanding the meat be cut "THINNAH!"...and a Bert & Ernie presidential campaign, and nothing else. Not bad, not classic.
