I find "NewsRadio" to be a very clean sitcom, especially from the 1990s. The sexual innuendo is rare, but there is some slang/bad language here and there. Not bad though....very funny show! Off the wall, crazy humor and subject matter. Safe for a 10 year old, IMO.

What Parents Need to Know
About NewsRadio
Parents need to know that this sitcom's office setting provides the fodder for much of its mostly tasteful humor. Most storylines are harmless in nature, ranging from an anchorman's addiction to age-unknown sandwiches in the building's snack machine to a new complaint box that handles more than its share of employee gripes. Ongoing elements include office romances and sibling-like rivalry between co-workers. Overall, the show's ability to make interpersonal relationships so funny while sticking to largely non-controversial subject matter makes it a rare find -- so rare, in fact, that we're giving it an "on" rating despite some "pauses" in the content breakdown.
