Shopping for NewsRadio

I spent the past couple of days shopping for the best price on the first two seasons of NBC's little-show-that-could, NewsRadio on DVD. Friday I went to the BJ's Wholesale Club in Westbury, and saw the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for $13.99. I bought LAST LULLABY, my first read by Denise Hamilton, but otherwise avoided impulse purchases.

Ultimately, I bought NewsRadio from DeepDiscountDVD.com for $27.87. (No tax, free shipping)

I caught most of the show in reruns on A&E. Here's a review by fellow Hofstra alum Francis Rizzo III. Francis worked on Hofstra's humor magazine Nonsense while I worked on the literary magazine Font. At one point the magazine offices were across from each other in the student union, and there was the odd skirmish between staffers.

Francis is now Director of Interactive Media at Hofstra, married, and with pet, Schnoodle. I wish him well.
