Send a note to Allen & Donna...WELCOME BACK!!
Somebody needs to save The Flimm!! The owners of the landmark Osgood R. Flimm building, located in downtown Cincinnati, have decided it's time for an upgrade. The 50 year old Art-Deco structure is scheduled for demolition...according to the Registered Letter Art got in today's mail.
The gang is outraged...livid...but, hey, we're talking Real Estate Mega-bucks, so what're ya gonna do??
Bailey decides she's not going to take this lying down...or sitting still or standing by...she's a bit drunk. Her directions are a bit confused.
The Campaign to Save the Flimm is ON! WKRP is the nerve center. Bailey is in charge while Jennifer is supporting the effort with her heretofore unknown typing skills!! The lady can TYPE! (just not for Herb!!)
Will the Flimm be saved? Will Bailey pass out after her next Old Fashioned?? Will Art finally concentrate and finish an editorial?? These and more questions will be answered when you hit "play" on this edition of The WKRP-Cast!!
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.]

S3E15 - "Ask Jennifer"

Send a note to Allen & Donna...WELCOME BACK!!
Herb had a good idea (no, seriously...he did!!!) He suggested a call-in advice show. They're sweeping the nation! His buddy in St. Louis had all kinds of great stories about great ratings, winning timeslots...how could they NOT??
Finding the right host proves to be a challenge. Depending on how you count it up, it took them either five and a half months or a full year to find the perfect advice lady...her name is Arlene. Once they've found her, it only takes a day or two for "Ask Arlene" to be up and running on the station.
The day of the big launch, Arlene has a bit of a mishap involving three Valium. Jennifer steps up as "Arlene" to answer caller questions. Wow, Ms. Marlowe is GOOD at this!! She winds up taking calls for...oh, who really knows how long? It's a while, we know that. Everything is fun and games until one of Jennifer's bits of advice may have gotten someone hurt.
It's a fun show with a big message. Curl up with the phone and give us a call...we'd be glad to tell you what to do!! First thing you should do right now: push "play"!!

S3E17 - "Secrets of Dayton Heights"

Send a note to Allen & Donna...WELCOME BACK!!
If you're Les Nessman, you know how important it is to stay vigilant. Commies are everywhere!! Pinkos, and other ne'er-do-wells who would undo our great democracy must be vigilantly repelled...even if one of them happens to be your own father!
This is an amazing story to take on in a single half hour of television. They threw in a lot of jokes...we've got a hilariously slapstick "B"-story involving Venus, Johnny and a studio project. We've got Jennifer preparing for Paris in the Springtime with a riotously off-kilter collection of travel phrases. You've never seen these in High School French Class!
Then, as you're laughing along at these great running gags, you suddenly realize you've been hit right in the heart with a gut-wrenching performance from an on-fire Richard Sanders. Or maybe it's ANOTHER gut-wrenching performance of some note courtesy of the guy who's playing Les' dad...Les' real dad...not Lester Nessman, Sr.
Get ready for an under-appreciated gem in the WKRP episode bag. Oh, did we mention...we've got SAM ANDERSON??!! How could this get any better? What are you waiting for??!! Push 'play' for a major Red Scare.
