Remembering Johnny Fever and his music 

That was choice, lol!

I know so funny! When he started playing that record fast it sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks!😆😆

Burst out laughing with that one!! 🤣

Excellent

I LOVED this show when I was a kid, and it is better now! I hope there are full episodes out there somewhere, that would be fun!

@@giraffesinc.2193 I bought the series on DVD at Ebay...a nice small box set that I can watch anytime 👍

@@pst702 Thank you!!

Apparently it was his own music choices

I think it's mentioned in the Paley Center reunion in 2014 or so. Reid, too.

Never heard him play Green Onions.

I'm 52, diagnosed with Colon Ca in 2006, 36 was young to get it but I had ulcerative colitis since early 20's so that was probably the cause. Diagnosed as as stage 2 T4N0M0 two surgies, 8mths of chemo, but I'm still around 16yrs later. Initially had an illeostomy, but went with the internal Jpouch about 2 yrs later. I know It's tough time, and every individual case is different, but hopefully you can use my example as a some inspiration. Hang in there, listen to your oncologists, and take the help friends & family offer. I won't BS you and say it's going to fun or easy, but 16yrs from now you can look back like me and say "Hey, it sucked at the time, but I'm still around, and the experience just made stronger" Ps laughter is good medicine, but try to avoid too much KRP, might pull the stitches!!!👍🤣❤ from Toronto

Blessed be, guys! Blessed be. Hang in there. Congratulations on your progress! I was diagnosed with AML 3 yrs ago. Laughter is the best medicine, that is true! My daughter gave me the WKRP box set, after most of the music had been restored, and ... I'm 73 now, laughing with and at The Doctor, RIP Howard!, and my favorite show WKRP ... and beating the odds so far. Thanx, WKRP, for years of pleasure. Blessed be, gang, blessed be.

@@echoecho3108 hello and good Sunday morning who ever you are? Let me introduce myself I'm Peter from Hamilton Ontario Canada and to explain I was what the doctors called a blue baby I was born with a whole in my heart back on July 15 1972 in Toronto Ontario Canada which is about an hour east of Hamilton, had open heart surgery when I was 4 years old at sick kids hospital in Toronto and grew up fine until April of 2006 got a blood clot which caused a stroke on my left side of my body went through 3 months of rehab to learn to walk talk and take care of myself and then on September first of 2008 I didn't wake up that morning had a cardiac arrest (similar to a heart attack) which I was saved by both my cat Nemo and my then wife Angy got to Toronto general hospital in time put into induced 2 day coma eventough I was pronounced clinical dead when I arrived there, had open heart surgery again and they put a defibulator in my chest and came back home about 5 weeks later. Nemo won a Medel for saving my life a year later at a place called paws ways and Angy decided to leave our marriage at the end of 2009. But I moved to Hamilton 2 years later which I'm renting a one bedroom apartment here from my uncle Angelo who owns the property. But with doctor Johnny fever's character that Howard hedsman played so well. Apparently he was only supposed to be on the first show the pilot where he says booger LoL

All blessings to you all, friends, and may each of you find a miracle. I'm dealing with recurrent prostate cancer, myself -- if I beat it once, I'll do it again, and I sense I won't do it alone, friends. And, yes, few things lift my spirits these days like _WKRP_ -- who knew that Dr. Johnny Fever was as good a therapist as he was a DJ? (Howard Hesseman, you are much missed.)

If I remember right it was CBS.

A high school friend was into him and Wild Man Fischer - wow.

@@DaveNarn Oh wow! That’s an almost unfathomably strange combo!

Thanks, that was much better.

That's true it was supposed to be the long run, it was tough watching this in reruns without the real music

They even dubbed over Gary Sandy's lines. The Eagles are always pretty much impossible when it comes to their music rights. They regularly take down RU-vid videos from fans who cover their songs too. They made great music but for some reason those guys don't just hate each others guts, they seem to hate everyone else too. 🤣

The original was taken down. No mercy from Mr. Henley.

Me too

The whole series is on DVD Boxset

@@charlesgreen8703 where is it available for purchase

@@chrisrhodes5464 Amazon

As I recall, there was also the fact that they shot the show on video - which at the time had entirely different rules with music than had they shot the show on film. Had they shot on film, they probably couldn't have afforded most of it.

Your right, good call. In the late 60’s Hessman used the name ‘Don Sturdy’ when he was DJ on FM station KMPX in San Fransisco.

pink floyd. all you need to know....

Carlson: "Do I heard dogs in there?" Fever: "I do."

Your welcome. It was a great show.

You’re right. They couldn’t get it for the re-release box set. The original version is on YT.

Back in the day, they could only afford the rights to about 15 seconds of the various songs, and only because the show was recorded on video tape and not film. On the DVD release, they could only get the rights back to about 85% of the original music used on the show.

No idea, but it sounds like Paul McCartney - though the show could never afford him or any beatles tunes.

Thanks…McCartney was my thought too.

Arrow Through Me by Wings. So you’re right about Paul McCartney lol
