WKRP In Cincinnati: The Complete Series Is FINALLY Being Released On DVD


This show has taken decades to come to DVD because securing all the music rights was considered to be impossibly expensive. It was, however, one of the great comedy shows of all time and I am glad that finally others can appreciate how well the show has held up over time. Great characters and laugh out loud moments in each episode made this one a winner for me.

STILL, the greatest Thanksgiving episode of any program in the history of television EVER!!

You all know the line - now say it with me.



Pairing an impeccable ensemble cast with hilarious wit and popular tunes, WKRP In Cincinnati celebrated four amazing seasons, making it the quintessential situation comedy for any music lover! Join everyone’s favorite radio DJs—the rockin’ Dr. Johnny Fever (Howard Hesseman) and the soulful Venus Flytrap (Tim Reid)—as they weave through the inner-office antics of the crazy WKRP staff; including the station’s program director Andy (Gary Sandy), indecisive manager Arthur (Gordon Jump), advertising executive Herb (Frank Bonner), quirky news man Les Nessman (Richard Sanders), young ingénue Bailey (Jan Smithers) and, of course, the station’s lovely receptionist, Jennifer (Loni Anderson). So sit back and enjoy the sound of uproarious laughter as you watch every episode of this iconic series.

Everyone at the time was nuts about Loni Anderson but for me, Jan Smithers as Baily was the real beauty on that show. She wore a GREAT pair of jeans.

Bailey was certainly the best.

Those big glasses, swept back hair, tight jeans and big cableknit sweaters..???

She was the best.

Do you remember Carlson's Mother and that old butler of her's. Hersch. He was always threatening to poison her.

"This coffee is delicious, Hersch. Why can't you make it like this everyday?"

"Because today we were having company."
