I love when Herb is driving to work and we see he finally got the Chrysler Cordoba he was talking about the previous season when the ratings started going up
Does anyone know the song Johnny Fever is playing right at the beginning of this episode? I have been looking for it but so far, I can't get any information on it. Thanks
This show is nostalgic to me - lived in Dayton, Ohio as a kid. But there is some reality that must be addressed here. Much of this show, especially Howard Hessman and his Johnny Fever character, are typical lefty dipshits. “Once the Republicans took over everyone switched to downers.” Haha. His character smokes pot, does pills, wants to organize labor unions. And of course the Mama Carlson character, an envious right-wing capitalist archetype, is portrayed as a heartless villain that Fever asserts moral domain over in the final episode. Hessman was on Saturday night live and mooned Ronald Reagan. So though I have nostalgia toward this show, there are strong elements of socialist ethical decay, values which Hessman clearly internalized. He’s passed away now and no disrespect is intended to the dead or to his family. But with respect to the leftist drivel he chose to inject into the world through his work, we can appropriately respond in a genuine way. Eff that guy.
Poor Old Skip. And Andy always saying the wrong thing. Sweetest moment for Arthur. He takes a moment to compliment Jennifer on her hair. " Like spun gold. " He walks out and then three beats later he' comes back afraid he insulted Bailey. " Your hair is nice too Bailey." Sweet sweet moment. Nice for the actor that they let him read the will on tape. Great bit. Every Dam bit goes to the Hari Krishnas if they promise to stay out of the airports.
Excellent episode - excellent series - does anybody know the name of the song (and the band) that Johnny is playing on the air at 4:55 in this episode ?
One of the saddest moments in the history of Cincinnati. I moved to California and enlisted in the USAF. I was deployed when I heard the news. I had attended an Elton John concert that was general admission years before without issue. I've no idea what had changed in the mean time. I feel worst for THE WHO, they were not told until well after the fact and were heartbroken. Their management should have been fired and possibly were, I'm not certain. I found my way of on my own and sent prayers up to our Cherokee Creator, Unetlanvhi, to bring peace to the families of the fallen. Despite my time in combat, we knew what we were getting ourselves into and went regardless. Those kids didn't ask for what they feel fell victim to that night. Blessings to you all.
This episode was so realistic Frank Bonner said once that people just casually flipping that night that had never seen WKRP thought this was an actual new show and called CBS to find out when it was on again....I personally think its nof only the best episode of the show...I think it's one of the most brilliant episodes in television history. ..
In hindsight shouldn’t Andy have been pushing for an FM transmitter? He must have known rock’s days on the AM dial were numbered… but then again we wouldn’t get the scenario in the final episode where Mama wants to change the format.
I remember this in the news and I remember this show when it originally aired. I went to quite a few festival seating concerts in Vancouver, BC and don't remember any incidents...although there may have been some. I liked how we could mill around and try to wiggle our way up to the stage. How we could bump into other concert goers and everyone was in a great mood. I will never forget those memories...yet I also understand the need for safety. These days I couldn't afford to go to a concert anyway. I still have my ticket stubs for The Rolling Stones and The Who in Seattle.....$16 a ticket. 😳
