WKRP-Cast

WELCOME BACK!!
Andy's good buddy, Norris Breeze, is in Cincinnati! What brings ol' Norris to town? That would be Mama Carlson. Norris has developed a coke habit so he needed a high paying job. He's now a "radio consultant" tasked with making every radio station sound the same from coast to coast.

Norris has already been in town a couple of days, monitoring the Mighty 'KRP. Andy gulps hard and starts the wheels turning. How can he discredit "the Radio Doctor" from New York? Oh, Andy's not as 'aw-shucks' as you might think. He has a trick or two up his sleeve.

He can't make them competent...but could he make them different? Andy hatches a plan. It involves the whole staff, but you might not recognize them once Andy's done.

As Jennifer gets coffee for "Mr. Breezy" some guy in a good-looking suit is claiming to be Herb. This is the Flimm Building, right? Norris takes copious notes, while watching out for Venus and his knife. He can't wait to report it all back to Mama.

When he does, Andy just sits quietly with a little grin on his face. Being from Santa Fe, this might not be Mr. Travis' first rodeo. Norris proceeds to describe a station Mama's never seen. Her son is...overworked? No, this is not the WKRP Mama knows. She realizes with a quiet grin how well she's been played.

As Hirsch ushers Andy out, he's asking for even MORE money. Mama realizes this Mr. Travis is not one to be trifled with. Get in on the whole madcap experience!! Push "Play" now...Jennifer will have some coffee to you shortly. We think.   

WATCH ALONG DETAILS...
[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]
