This is in no way realting to the sequel series that lasted two seasons in the early 90s and was criminally underrated by many. That was a funny show too, with some new cast members (we got visits from Venus and Johnny and Jennifer was in many of the episodes, but sadly never a visit from Andy travis or bailey Quarters). What I'm talking about are the original uncut and unaltered episodes, aired in the original network and early syndicated runs of the show withy the original music remaining. When the licensing ran out on much of the music used, many scenes had to be altered with generic soundalike songs, and in the process, a lot of the jokes fell flat as a lot of those songs were either used as comedic commentary on the scenes they were used in. When the first season was released, a lot of people (myself included) sent our DVDs back unopened. To me, WKRP without the music is like watching M*A*S*H with all the references to Korea removed! I've since found a DVD set of the entire series which was obviously taped back in the 80s and transferred to DVD. The quality for the most part is not perfect but very acceptable. I'm very curious as to what's intact musically when season two finally sees the light of day. The repeats on Sunday nights on WGN America actually have some of the original songs still in place. Wikipedia has a list of what was edited out and replaced, for those of you who are curious.
Love the sahow...in its original form...and even The New WKRP (1991-1993) had many funny moments too. I rolled videotape on those shows as well, with the original music that aired on that show. Not holding my breath, but the shows still make me laugh out looud some 30 years later.

This show was one of the best comedy TV series of the 70's. We have watched it several times and still find in very funny.

WKRP in Cincinnati is one of the best programs ever shown on television. I certainly hope the second season becomes available on DVD soon. Dr. Johnny Fever and Mr. Carlson (The Big Guy) crack me up. Gordon Jump and Howard Hessman were wonderful as station manager and DJ. Funny stuff.
