Send a note to Allen & Donna…WELCOME BACK!!
Finally! All the hard work for the KRP-Crew seems to be paying off! Andy got the new Book in this morning and there's some GOOD news!! The Mighty 'KRP has risen to a quite respectable SIXTH in the Cincinatti Market!!

Andy calls the gang together for the big reveal. Herb thinks this is it for his time on the streets...the phone will be ringing off the hook, right??

In the lobby, a gentleman with a deep and resonating voice has introduced himself to Jennifer as the NEW News Director. Ummm...huh?

Mrs. Carlson has reached out to Fargo, N.D. in search of...what? A replacement for Les? No, when Andy confronts her, she says Les still has a job. Turns out, Mr. Travis might be the one looking for work. Mama intends to turn the whole rockin' shootin' match into a respectable "All News" station.

Will Mama get her way? Will Andy be heading out "town to town...up and down the dial"? Surely not! Then again, WKRP the TV show hasn't been doing nearly as well as WKRP the radio station when it comes to ratings. This might be the last show of the series, let alone the last show of the season.

And, really, it's not even the last show of the season. Big programming news, fellow babies! Next week we veer WAY off the known path as we check out a first-run WKRP episode that didn't air until AUGUST!!

It's coming to an end...but there are still some surprises left in store for you, Fellow Babies! Grab a swig from Johnny's Jug and hit "Play"...Hirsch will get the door.

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.]
