Word is that this was the last show that was made. Although it aired before "Up and Down Aisle" the last episode that aired in the original series. I read that the cast was all dressed up afterwards and had one last celebration together
Ms. Anderson wanted a lot more money. They paid her. She continued in her role till the end of the run. 40 years later, we still laugh and are amazed at how the whole thing comes together. Everybody connected with this, on and off screen, were exceptional, but she was a pivot point for the characters. Something special is always worth more than we think at the time.
Thank you for posting these. I’m really enjoying rewatching these episodes. They have aged remarkably well, and IMO are much better than a lot for what’s streaming and on TV nowadays.
The start of this episode is amazing, the whole episode is great but the first few minutes is some of the funniest tv i have ever seen. Wkrp is the best series ever on tv. Thanks for all the memories and entertaining moments this has given me in my life and still continues to do
Lori is beautiful. The reason for so much hairspray was probably because her hair was thin. After using hot rollers and blow drying her hair, it was styled and sprayed to _stay_ _in_ _place_ .
Actually, go to 0:24 and you'll see Johnny. A few seconds later and it's Venus, but behind the entering salesman, you can make out another portrait which is probably the first picture (Johnny). I think at the end when you only see Fever's picture, it's due to the angle. At 0:43, you can see both
They might have solved the problem if they could have placed a caption on the posters that read: "If you don't want to be like THIS guy then try-" [I don't remember the product name]...or something to that effect. I'm not the most creative or perfect person at times, but I can usually handle "damage control"-probably because I've had a lot of practice in the past.lol!
He was fantastic in this episode. He’s been in MASH, and a lot of other classic shows. The way he handled Herb was priceless. Tom was the blinded soldier in MASH, who runs into Hawkeye when he was temporarily blinded from a stove accident.
The Eighties was a time when we had gotten over our racist past. It took political correctness and th Obama years to make us remember that we must pick at the scars of long healed wounds until they became scabs again. WKRP is a time capsule Edit: Let us never forget how George Washington evoked Cinninatus after his second term as president.
My older sister used a can of hairspray on her hair like Loni ...it was the style then. They ratted hair high, flipped up the ends and sprayed. There hair was really stiff...the wind didn't mess up their hair
The fact such an excellent show was cancelled in only the fourth season while still very strong in ratings just goes to show that "management" not having a clue is as perennial as the grass.
Now you folks tell me, after watching this episode did Seinfeld miss the boat by not keeping Gordon Jump on for a while as George's boss or not? Seinfeld was a show that didn't make many mistakes, but they really could have gotten a lot more "mileage" out of that character and he was MUCH funnier than the guy from the industrial smoothing outfit.
Haven't ALL of them screwed up multiple times in varying degrees? Even Jennifer. And hasn't Herb been providing the bulk of ad revenue all these years in spite of his mistakes? If Carlson fires him, he should fire himself since 80% of what he does is play with trains and fishing equipment! But I do love how Jennifer went to bat for Herb!😍
Despite how she always acted around others, I've always suspected that Jennifer secretly liked Herb very much. It's evident in the dating episode, the Christmas episode, the elevator episode and this.
Not exactly, the target audience was Venus', not the other DJs. Back in those days, the DJs had a lot of free reign in music choices, as long as they played something off the hit list ever hour or so.
