But yeah count me out on WKRaPed. Terrible terrible terrible.

Buy it for the love of Gordon 'Big Guy' Jump, I will. And this is coming from a hardcore fan, who said he wouldn't buy it cut. I'm doing it as a homage/tribute.

By the way, here's a list of episodes that have actual cut scenes in addition to the music changes (a few of these cuts were made in the syndication version; most of them were cut by the DVD producers):

Hoodlum Rock (22:18) - syndication version
Bailey’s Show (24:35) - cuts the end of the scene with Bailey, Johnny and Andy in the booth
Turkeys Away (24:18) - cuts part of the Pink Floyd scene
Love Returns (24:46) - cuts the end of the scene with Johnny in the booth in act 2
A Date With Jennifer (21:03) - syndication version
The Contest Nobody Could Win (23:42) - opening scene cut
Tornado (24:46) - cuts beginning of the first scene in the booth
Never Leave Me, Lucille (23:53) - cuts opening scene with Les singing "Heartbreak Hotel"; cuts music-accompanied dialogue between Venus and Johnny
I Want to Keep My Baby (23:58) - Little bits snipped from beginning and end
A Commercial Break (24:24) - cuts Johnny singing "So Long for a While"
Young Master Carlson (24:05) - cuts Mr. Carlson dancing to "Soul Man"
Fish Story (23:21) - cuts Venus singing "I'm tore down"

I'll buy a Maytag instead.

he would tell you not to buy do to the mess it is. mr carlson that is.

plus he died 3 1/2 years ago.

not a tribute to buy this hacked up nonsense.

The notion of buying the set as a tribute/homage to Gordon Jump brought to mind (tangentially) something I ran across a while back...

Interview snippet (MP3 audio file) -- Gary Sandy's thoughts about a DVD release of WKRP (bear in mind that this interview took place BEFORE the set was ever announced):

I'm well aware Jump is dead, but he's still the uncrowned king of WKRP, IMHO. I'm not so sure he'd say 'don't buy', does anyone here know how the WKRP actors felt/feel about the syndicated versions?

Nelson Au · 04-09-2007, 01:37 AM

Linda, Thanks for the links to that interview. It was great!
