NewsRadio 5.01

Bill Moves On

The employees of WNYX remember Bill McNeal, their colleague from the first 4 seasons of the show, who passed away between seasons 4 and 5. Matthew is convinced that Bill is still alive. Lisa gets grief from the others for turning to alcohol after she heard about Bill's death. Dave obssesses about the eulogy he gave at the funeral for Bill.

Thoughts

Catherine returns to the show to join the others in mourning the loss of Bill. This is her final appearance on the show.

My notes about what happened to Phil Hartman can be found in my thoughts about 4.22 - Sinking Ship.

This episode is heartfelt. There are a few jokes but most of them didn't connect in my opinion. I am glad that they acknowledged the loss of Bill in an appropriate way.
