Program director Andy Travis complains that Nessman completely missed one of the most important stories of 1979, the Iranian Revolution, because he focused on a human interest story about a pig that could do addition and subtraction. -

I bought the first season but then when I got to the end, found that the remaining seasons don't exist anywhere for any amount of money.
The optional way is available, but I don't have a media server set up.

Cheeky baseline. The star of the show. Upstaging the rest of the song!
-
I wish Red Hot Chili Peppers had done a song based on the WKRP theme baseline.
That baseline basically needs to be franchised and licensed to other songs. A new genre built on that one baseline.
-
-
My only complaint is that during the opening, where they have someone spinning through the radio and getting funny random voice clips before the song plays... I want those to be different every time.
But that sort of thing was a much later innovation in TV.

Wow, right out the gate, in the first non-pilot episode, WKRP tackles both gay AND trans issues. With some surprisingly advanced views of these topics for 1978.
It ALSO tackles workplace sexual harassment, in a certain way. This topic seems to be complex on this show, and I'm not sure where it's going, but I like that in this episode, not only is one male character unhappy with how Jennifer is treated, he does something to protect her.
It's flawed by today's standards, because the writers were trying to do the right thing with what they had at the time, so it's in a way that makes it thought-provoking. They're exploring ground in a way that would be uncomfortable to do today.
Also the characters seem like they might be multifaceted and deep for a show like this.

I am older now than Richard Sanders (Carnegie Tech Class of 1962) was when he filmed the "Turkeys Away" episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati."
As God as my witness ...

Let’s all take a moment to remember the victims of the 1978 Turkey Drop Incident. #WKRP

Okay, this is pretty cool:
https://www.awphooey.com/wkrpIf you grew up in the golden era of syndication, you probably saw the show "WKRP in Cincinnatti" every afternoon for who knows how long. Do you remember Johnny Fever, Venus Flytrap, Jennifer Marlowe, Bailey Quarters, Andy and the rest?
Well, this guy extracted all of "Dr." Johnny Fever's on-air bits from the show, filled in the music that he mentions, and created a 3-hour audio segment from it. You can stream it or download it.
I have a particular fondness for this, because as a teenager I worked at a restaurant for a guy who looked and sounded exactly like Dr. Johnny Fever. He was cool, he treated us like real people, and he was the one who let me know just how good gin & iced tea go together. His name was Perry Grabowski, and I'm guessing he's not around anymore.
Anyway, enjoy.

I was sad to hear that Loni Anderson has died. She was my favourite character on the hit 80s TV show “WKRP in Cincinnati” — the blonde bombshell receptionist who was also the smartest, best educated and highest-paid person at the station.
WKRP was a gigantic hit, but I’ve found that it’s less known among younger people, because it was difficult to syndicate. The show used original rock music throughout (it was set at a radio station) and the rights to broadcast it were expensive. I think the eventual dvd release substituted in inferior cover versions of songs.
A lot of episodes are on YouTube now (illegally or otherwise), so I was able to watch a few to remember.

Still Living On The Air 🎧
Radio station WKRP may be no more than a fond and fuzzy memory, but thanks to the efforts of WFMU we can still enjoy an actual three-hour radio set from the one and only Dr. Johnny Fever.
