About The Sex O'Clock News
Director and co-writer Romano Vanderbes attempts to satirize middle America's standard news broadcasts with as many jokes about sex as possible. The featured station is KSEX and Doug Ballard and Lydia Mahan play the anchors in a broadcast where blue does not mean melancholy
Directed by Romano Vanderbes, The Sex O'Clock News leans on a strong ensemble — Doug Ballard, Lydia Mahan, Wayne Knight — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1985.
