Really Surprised!

Absolutely brilliant

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This show was the maturing of a 1960's failed sitcom known as GOOD MORNING WORLD. It took the idea of Morning DJ's with a crazy manager & a wife, & expanded it out to include an entirely loony station loaded with many crazy characters. This show smartly moved all the action into the station while it's ancient relative tried to do the Dick Van Dyke style home life too. Losing that is what made WKRP better.I can mention dueling blonde's as 2 of the best were on these shows. Goldie Hawn versus Loni Anderson would be a great battle. Thing is Goldie was a young developing chick when on the first show, while Loni was a fully matured woman when WKRP started. The difference of dumb playing Goldie versus smart Loni shows the difference. Careerwise, Goldie has more talent than Loni, but in this comparison, Loni & WKRP win. Now imagine a king size problem, walking into a room with each of these ladies on each of your arms. What would you do? Station Managers - Gordon Jump versus Billy De Wolfe. What a match, as Jumps understated big guy got better writing than De Wolfe, but De Wolfe wins the talent battle hands down.Ronnie Schell & Jodie Baker as DJ's versus Howard Hessman & Tim Reid. No doubt, WKRP wins this one. But they also got better scripts so the match is really not fair. In the final analysis, no doubt that WKRP wins, but it owes it's roots to the other show. Both of these were CBS, & while the first one failed fast, WKRP even kept going without CBS later.

WKRP in Cincinatti was a great show with a stellar cast including Gordon Jump who played the station's owner. Gary Sandy who played one of the disc jockeys. Of course, the unforgettable Howard Hesseman as another disc jockey. The guy who played Les Nessman was also memorable as the news guy. Frank Bonner who played sleazy Herb as the advertising salesman and of course the ladies played by Loni Anderson and I forget the other girl's name but she was good too. Anyway, the show was well-written, acted, and performed that it left a timeless impression on us. Of course, Tim Reid was also excellent as well. The show had a first rate cast which worked very well together comically and produced some of the finest moments on television.

It'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

I wouldn't say that it was a religious experience, but it was a series that planted the seeds of my future. Today, I work in Radio, in part because I wanted to be Dr. Johnny Fever. I loved the way the characters worked together and played off of each other. It was a rare series.Even today, I would like to program a station like Andy Travis, do mornings like Fever, write like Bailey, and sell like... OK, I still don't want to be like Herb. Shows like WKRP and News Radio have one thing in common, They were both written by people who know what real radio is like. I think its that touch of reality that made WKRP so memorable to me.
