Didn't they (MTM) get a cheaper music royalty rate because they recorded the shows on videotape instead of 'film'?

Even the Pink Floyd 'sound-alike' sounds so close to the original, that it doesn't bother me anymore, as I'd rather have a good imitation than lose a classic interchange between Johnny and The Big Guy.

Hasslein, what is the "Hollywood Show"? More details?

The record company promo materials might have been an early attempt at 'product placement' - but it isn't like the current Tiny Fey movie "Sisters" where they have "Big Lots" plastered everywhere in the movie. I think it is neat 'set dressing' and I wonder if the record companies were...

Interesting, as I always thought that other than the Turkey episode, that the 1st season was a little weak (with Les on a ledge), and that it took until the 2-part transmitter explosion episode to realize everyone's unique personality- making that a favorite, along with the episode where Andy is...

Hey gang= one day special on AMAZON.com TODAY- WKRP set is on sale (Tuesday November 17, 2015) - tell your friends who might have missed out.

Thanks for the A-I-T-F info; I knew that some show did that and announced it, but I was thinking that TAXI, or similar show may have done that for a few episodes as well? (and maybe "Herb's Dad" had no audience?)

Didn't Bert Parks play Herb Tarlek, Sr.? I wouldn't think he would be afraid of live audiences since he was still doing Miss America at that time, unless he did the show using cue cards/teleprompter and didn't want an audience seeing that at MTM studios? Some shows in that era would record...

Excuse me if I'm repeated a question already asked, but who is the artist doing the music during the closing credits of the Christmas episode when they're having the Christmas office party (instead of the usual closing music)? Is this the only episode with music that was different than the...

Did not see it in Costco - worth buying a membership just for the savings, plus you'll save on gasoline too (that is, if they still had the set).

The FOX version of the Contest has the alternate ending we're most familiar with - you can buy it at any Cracker Barrel restaurant for $20 if you really need that ending. Wonder if the individual seasons will be available at CB, or at brick and motar stores, online, and how much they'll go for...

derosa - you are correct, I stand corrected. Thanks. Same topic, different songs.

The Pink Floyd music is probably one reason it wasn't included, but I never saw that gem from 1980 before. Thanks.

I gotta watch 'Bah Humbug' again - BUT, I'm wondering if they changed the out-tro music on the closing credits from the original Christmas song to a public domain/generic Christmas song, as I thought it was sung by a group that used to do radio jingles? Does anybody know what I'm talking about...

Hey PMFitz: Great suggestion: "Season 3, Episode #2 - "Jennifer Moves" as the unofficial WKRP Halloween show..." I'll take you up on that idea - never even thought of that one. I contacted the blog guy and he says he doesn't have any old episodes available to the public simply because he...

Hasslein: what do you mean about: "...a Star Trek "City on the Edge of Forever"..." - I have the VHS HiFi tape and I believe it says on the sleeve that some of the music has been changed from the original episode - what format DOES have the original version of COTEOF from TOS? Back to WKRP -...

I have a reason to renew my COSTCO membership! It pays the difference between their cost and the Amazon cost! So, it's like getting COSTCO free for a year, or getting the DVD set for half-price; either way, I'm happy that they had 2 left at my store, along with 2 Welcome Back Kotter sets.

From what I've read, they've done a pretty decent job of getting us as close as we're ever going to get for our favorite TV show on DVD. I read today that Time-Life charged more for the 1st season of the Wonder Years, and it's like only 8 shows, not 20-something? That's big bucks. I say a big...

David Letterman just two weeks ago spent an entire segment on how he wanted to have Paul play an Eagles song and the stage manager/producer (whomever she was at his left) said "STOP" - 'you cannot use an Eagles song on a TV show or you'll get sued" - they checked with their legal counsel, who...

My question is on the episode: "Baby, If You've Ever Wondered" when a disappointed Andy is walking into his office, the outro of "Get It Right Next Time" by Gerry Rafferty is playing, then the WKRP jingle, then Supertramp starts before he shoves everything off of his desk. Is the trio of...
