    RERUN-WKRPCast-Episode034-Sparky

    WELCOME BACK! The Sports Voice of the Ohio Valley is...WKRP? Art's got stars in his eyes as he hires former Cincinnati Reds Manager Sparky Anderson to host his new sports-talk show. A full two hours and, at some point, the plan is to take it coast-to-coast! Syndication! Huge profits and the unending accolades of mama...er, at least that's how Art sees it.  Sparky is a great guy...but not a great talk show host. It takes Art a few days to realize, but he eventually gets the sign from the catcher. Don't miss this very first script from the writing duo of P.J. Torokvei and Steven Kampmann. Derek's hungry, Sparky's going to the phones and Les is trying to undermine the whole thing. Grab yourself a second helping of fried sheep's brains and hit 'play' before Art fires somebody!!

    RERUN-WKRPCast-Episode033-JensHomeForChristmas

    WELCOME BACK! Merry Christmas!! Stop looking at the calendar...it's Christmas in KRP-Land and that's all that matters. Remember how weirdly disorienting it was to come across a Christmas episode of a show in syndication?? It didn't matter if it was the middle of July...for half an hour, you got a little of the warmth of Christmas, no matter what time of year. This Christmas, the whole gang seems a bit edgy. Relatives are in town, travel plans aren't coming together and it's almost time for the Office Christmas Party.  Jennifer seems very invested in this year's party. Turns out, she's not going home for Christmas. The big office party might be her only chance to celebrate the holiday with 'family'. When everybody bails on the party after only 10 minutes, Jennifer is NOT happy. Could this possibly really be her ONLY Christmas celebration?? The evening after the big party, the gang is feeling guilty. They stop by Jennifer's apartment...admission: one Christmas Tree. Herb didn't get the memo. It isn't long before Johnny's downing another ladle of eggnog, Venus is trying to get the white out of his beard and Art thinks he's got Mama's Christmas Tree Conundrum nailed.  Got your shopping done? Good. You've got time to kick back, hit 'play' and pour yourself another eggnog...if you can get the bowl away from The Doctor. WATCH ALONG DETAILS... [Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

    RERUN-WKRPCast-Episode032-BaileysBigBreak

    WELCOME BACK! The entire news department at WKRP consists of a single man: Les Nessman. Truly, he is a paragon among men, a news stalwart who lets nothing deter him from delivering ten brilliant casts a day. Andy thinks it's time to shake things up a bit in the news area...against Les' wishes, and better judgement. They're reviewing audition tapes when a familiar voice comes through the speakers. Bailey Quarters has slipped her own entry into the stack, and Andy thinks having Bailey on the air would be a great idea! Les keeps pushing back, but to no avail. The new cub takes to the airwaves...er, at least she SHOULD be taking to the airwaves. Nessman doesn't think she's ready...then again, Nessman would be keeping Walter Cronkite on typewriter ribbon duty if it meant giving up a precious second of his airtime. Oil, schmoil...you'd better push "play" because it's almost time for the Swim Meeting.    WATCH ALONG DETAILS... [Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

    WELCOME BACK! Something big has arrived in the mail at WKRP...and it's not Art's new Model Ships Catalog. The 'BOOK' has arrived. It's the ratings book...and, we discover, the very FIRST book since Andy's been aboard. Hold on...he's only been there six months?? Seems like a year or more, doesn't it? The Mighty 'KRP is UP in the ratings...first time in seven years according to AC. He's ready to break out the Champagne! Andy isn't quite as jazzed with the new numbers, but he doesn't want to rain on anybody's bubbly-fueled parade. Find out why the Skipper isn't pleased, why this is Bill Dial's last script, and the strange but true story of what Bill was up to during the season break! We've got details, ratings and rich Corinthian leather all over this one. Push 'play' then kick back in those reclining bucket seats...don't you deserve it? WATCH ALONG DETAILS...

    RERUN-WKRPCast-Episode030-PatterofLittleFeet

    WELCOME BACK! Art "the Big Guy" Carlson has a big trip planned. He's going bonefishing and his lovely wife Carmen is coming along! Carmen shows up at the station with a little bit of a crimp in the plans. Turns out, she's pregnant. It might have been the Kiwanis Dance, but all signs are pointing towards Superman as the culprit. Mama shows up and things get a bit heavy when she lays out what she sees as Art's course of action. Art's in a daze, Venus hasn't talked to a soul and the Champagne is cold. Decisions and dancing replace the bonefishing trip. Venus has a lot of questions he really doesn't want answered. Shout! Factory is in there trying, but they totally whiffed a big joke. Is that Potsie at Johnny's desk (not the same Johnny)? You'd better push 'play' before somebody starts to show. WATCH ALONG DETAILS... [Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

    WELCOME BACK! When you're on one of the lowest rated stations in town, it's easy to convince yourself nobody's listening. Johnny's eyes are opened when an off-hand comment about tossing some trash on the city hall steps blows up in everyone's face. How bad is it? Art has summoned the station attorney, Elgar Neece. Elgar is a 4'11" fireball played by Christian Seaborn and...hold onto your microphones fellow babies...we're talking to him!! Elgar...er, we mean Christian...joins us with behind-the-scenes stories and details you've NEVER heard anywhere else! Herb is stuck to Carlson's desk, Johnny's playing pinball and Andy needs to pay the man four bits or he's going to get his clock cleaned. You're gonna love this one, fellow babies!

    RERUN-WKRPCast-Episode028-CarlsonforPresident

    WELCOME BACK! It's a natural progression for many business executives: once you've conquered the business world, it's time to conquer the world of politics. Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson of WKRP Radio in Cincinnati is one such business executive. Art's been bitten by the political bug! He's ready to steer Cincinnati in the right direction as an esteemed member of the Queen City's Council. Current incumbent Charles "Chuck" Tillman isn't delivering the goods in Art's eyes. He's missing meetings, missing votes and generally NOT doing the job he was elected to do. According to Bailey's old college roommate, Chuck's lack of participation might have something to do with his drinking. Drinking?! That's a bombshell!! But, come on, they can't use something like that!! Even Bailey, who delivered this news, said they can't use something like that (so, hmmm...why did she SAY it?) There's general agreement it shouldn't be used (Herb's not so sure). Unfortunately, saying you won't use it is one thing...knowing that bit of information while in the heat of the debate proves too tempting. Art blurts it out in anger. Les is getting down in the muck on the phone, Jennifer is racking up the campaign contributions and Mitzi wants to get that stain out!! Haven't voted lately? It's time to cast YOUR vote for Arthur C. Carlson...paid for by The Committee to Elect Carlson...Herbert R. Tarlek, Chairman. Now, do your civic duty and push "play."  WATCH ALONG DETAILS... [Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!!

    WELCOME BACK! Jennifer is gorgeous, cool, aloof, in control and well-to-do.  Who could possibly rock her world? His name is "Steel" and, to hear her tell it, he's every girl's dream. It's not until we meet Mr. Night Maintenance  we discover he might be lacking in the depth department. Steel definitely has the teeth, the hair and the, uh...derriere...to drive the ladies wild, but the pretty package is very empty. Vapid and self-centered are acceptable to Jennifer. Lecherous and sponging off her for money...that's another matter. When Steel needs two hundred dollars to fix his van, he discovers Jennifer is nobody's Sugar Mama. Art's ready to step up with a sound thrashing...if only his shoulder was willing. Jennifer tosses Steel out. She'll have to go home alone with nothing but her microwaves and acoustical ceiling to keep her company. You're going to want to go another round with the whitener, maybe do a few crunches, now let's hit "play" and enjoy the pretty people.    WATCH ALONG DETAILS... [Want to watch along with us?
