Oldie but goodie, P Floyd on WKRP

[BigmanPigman]

I actually remember this episode. "Do you hear dogs barking?".

1. Wasn't that the turkey drop episode?

[BigmanPigman]

2. No, that's a different one.

I always watch this on Thanksgiving.

4. Did a little digging - it is the same episode

But Floyd won't allow rights, so whenever it's shown (and released on DVD) that scene is cut.

5. Thanks for researching that.

I bet a lot of bands wouldn't give them the rights. I swear that the reruns still have that scene since I saw it a couple of years ago on TV. Maybe I'm hallucinating the whole thing.

6. Looks like most did for the DVDs

I think the Beatles were a no as well. I remember the reruns having generic music and being kinda upset. That show introduced my young brain to. Lot of cool music.

7. I remember when fans at a Who show in Cincinnati

were crushed to death due to festival seating. WKRP had an episode dedicated to that tragedy.

3. Oh man, I watched this show every day.

It was my after Mash and pre-Big Bang favorite comedy show. I even named my son Travis, but that was actually mostly because of Travis Beane guitars. When I saw one hanging in the window of a shop in SF, I was totally enraptured at the amazing beauty and then and there said if I ever have a son, I'm naming him Travis, in honor of this so beautiful craftsmanship and the nice guy on tv. About 15 years later, I did exactly that.
