What makes it different from others?
Did you people see the same film I saw?
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View MoreArthur Carlson (Gordon Jump) runs the failing radio station owned by his feared overbearing mother. He hires young program director Andy Travis (Gary Sandy) who promptly changes the format to Rock. This fun wacky group includes DJs Dr. Johnny Fever (Howard Hesseman) and Venus Flytrap (Tim Reid), clueless newsman Les Nessman (Richard Sanders), sleazy ads salesman Herb Tarlek (Frank Bonner), shy Bailey Quarters (Jan Smithers), and hot blonde Jennifer Marlowe (Loni Anderson) receptionist.They are a great group of lovable characters. That's the charm of this show. They had some of the funniest bits in TV history. Who else could come up with flying turkeys? The only disappointment is that it only lasted 4 seasons. It's a great part of my TV childhood.
View MoreThis is the best TV show ever aired. The episodes are all so classic and memorable. The characters are perfect. They all seem to compliment each other. Herb, Les, Johnny, Bailey, Jennifer, Mr.Carlson, Andy, Venus. Whenever I watch them it feels like I am with family. I love this show. If you haven't seen it yet, go out and get it. It is great for the family. Here is a list of some of the best episodes. Pilot 1, Pilot 2, Turkey's Away, Fish Story, Preacher, Fire, Daydreams, Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide (1 and 2), Tornado, An Explosive Affair (1 and 2), A Simple Little Wedding, Baseball, Frog Story, And so many, many more... OVERALL RATING:11/10
View MoreIt's really a shame that this show isn't currently in national syndication or available on DVD.I know the DVD issue mainly revolves around how expensive the music rights would be for the studio. Still, there has to be a way for them to eventually make it possible.They need to. WKRP was one of the best shows ever on television. It deserves to be put out of DVD so that fans of the show can appreciate it all over again.Not only that, but I bet the show would develop a whole new following among younger people who haven't yet had a chance to see it.What can I say about this show that hasn't already been said here? Not much. The show was hilarious and brilliant! It had one of the greatest casts ever assembled for a series. Plus, it had two of the most gorgeous women ever, Jan Smithers and Loni Anderson, it its cast.Definitely one of the best TV shows ever.Bud Gott
View MoreThe cast of WKRP worked so well together. They were each individual gems in a talented group that complemented each other so very well.My fondest memories, and most laughs, revolve around Dr. Johnny Fever, Venus Flytrap, and the nerdy naive Les Nessman.The Big Guy had that subtle disconnect about him that gave a jolt to his humor when he reconnected to what was going on at the station.Andy, Andy, Andy, serious to a fault; never got the WKRP staff to run at his speed; trying to keep all the balls in the air at once; frustrated to laughter at every turn.Bailey was sweet and smart; the perfect foil for Herb Tarlek's brash sales mind set.Jennifer was so unflappable about the antics around her that the contrasting humor in her role was great.WKRP is missed; we need the laughs now.
