Seeing Stephen Root in Kevin Smith’s Red State tonight got me thinking about the classic short-lived sitcom, NewsRadio. So when I found the seventh part of this Archive of American Television/James Burrows interview, I was really pleased he discussed directing the series pilot (around the 9:30 minute mark).
Bonus fact, when originally casting the part of Frasier Crane for Cheers, Burrows wanted to use John Lithgow, but Lithgow was busy, leading to Kelsey Grammer‘s lucky break.
