WKRP in Cincinnati - Season 1 (DVD, 2007, 3-Disc Set)

This WKRP DVD took me back to that magical world with the adel-minded Herb Tarlick, the lovely Jennifer Marlow, the rock and roll burnout Dr. Johnny Fever, the ever smooth Venus Flytrap, the shy Bailey Quarters, the tentative Mr. Carlson, the Recluse Les Nesmen, and the hopeful leader, Travis. What magical characters and so well played. This DVD also features commentary by some of the cast on certain episodes. neat stories for all you KRP buffs. I haven't laughed so hard as well I relived the, "Turkey Day" episode. Somehow, it was even funnier this time around.

I would say that there is no one who would not like this dvd for themselves. But be advised, you will be bidding against me since I intend to get some more of them as gifts for my friends next year.

Just inexcusable! Makes you wish they just didn't release it in the first place. A show about a radio station without the signature music?!!? What were they thinking? The conversation with Arthur and Johnny discussing the dog bark effects on Pink Floyd's "Dogs" is classic, and now it's gone. I will NOT be buying this, because even though these edits don't take up the majority of the shows, they do take away from the atmosphere and timeliness of the era the show originally had. Don't get me wrong, I love this show, but the way "I" grew up with it, and that included the songs, those classic songs.

And some of the episodes are syndicated, cut versions? In this day and age of DVD entertainment, this is just insulting to the buying public. This classic show deserves more respect than this. They should have dished out the money and paid these musical artists what they deserve to keep the show originally intact and remastered the ORIGINAL broadcast prints, not these second generation edited tapes. Actually a simple task, but no.

So, basically if this DVD set was a turkey (which in my opinion it is), it would hit the ground like a sack of wet cement.

Some of funnies stuff ever seen to tv, This is a must have 3DVD set Disc 1 contains 3 of my favorite WKRP's ever 1 of is Turkeys away the best crazyist funness single EPC, of any show ever on tv, No one will ever top this wild one!!! Also the hold-up Music store held up as Jony FEVER dose a live remote from the store (Jonny) " If anyone is listening please call the police". the pilot very funny (again Jonny) Guess what he get to say on the air and not get fired this time. Disc 2 Les get a date with Jennifer, find out what he tell Herb about the date( Alittle white lye)also the contest that can not be won (maybe it can) . Disc 3 Censorship and the preacher funny and also real makr you think who contols our airwaves. When I buy this I did not know how many greats ECPS, I was going tt get. Looking foward to many hours of very funny uncut humor from 1 of my favorite tv shows ever.

WKRP in Cincinnati: Season 1 compiles some of my favorite moments in television and one of the funniest moments in TV history as ranked by TV Guide. I have been a big fan of the show and, although I rarely watched it during its first run, I have watched each episode repeatedly in syndication.

I've seen where some people were disappointed in this release because of the fact that they have replaced much of the original music from the show with bland fill in material. I do agree that the musicians could have done a better job with the fill in music and it would have been nice to have the original music, but I do not feel like it impaired this DVD release at all. I have enjoyed watching this DVD and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loved the show. I guess I would have to say this about the music. Were you watching for the music or were you watching for the comedy? I watched for the comedy and it is all still there.

The bottom line is that I cannot wait for seasons 2 and 3. Even though I acknowledge a problem with the fill in music, to have the DVD with that is better than not having the DVD at all. If you're a fan of 'KRP, then you shouldn't miss this release.

I truly enjoyed every episode of the season one of WKRP. It was already in sendication at 11 pm weeknights when I first saw this comedy sleeper. Each character actor in this broadcast was perfectly selected to depict writer Hugh Wilson's vision of a struggling radio station consisting of colorful personalities. Now I can relive these episodes again and again.
