NewsRadio 3.01

Review

A magazine's review of WNYX generates a lot of discussion at the radio station. Matthew forces a showdown with Dave when he refuses to let him do a story about Dilbert.

I loved how Bill handled the review of his work on air which described him as adequate. They went a little overboard with the Dilbert plot thread. I read the comic strip faithfully in the 1990s and still enjoy it today but did not care for the way it was used in this episode. On the whole a good but not great episode even though it ended on a better note than it began.

According to IMDB this is the second episode of the third season. It was the first one in the collection that I bought. Considering how little continuity there is in this series I'm not sure that it really if I watch the first two episodes of this season in the wrong order.

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert is in this episode but he does not play the actor who Dave hires to impersonate Scott Adams. Instead he is the guy in line behind Matthew, Dave and Joe at the coffee shop in the opening scene.
