WKRP in Cincinnati is a perfectly cast ensemble comedy set at a rock and roll radio station in Cincinnati. It aired for four seasons from 1978-1982 on CBS. CBS did not know how to treat a gem like this, a whole bunch of timeslot changes did not help. Starring Howard Hesseman as the main DJ Dr. Johnny Fever, Gordon Jump as station manager Mr. Carlson who had a hard time standing up to his mother/station owner (Carol Bruce in a recurring role), Gary Sandy as programming director Andy Travis, Richard Sanders as news director Les Nessman who was fond of rutabagas, Frank Bonner as slimy head of advertising Herb Tarlek whose trademark was loud suits, Jan Smithers as traffic and continuity director Bailey Quarters, Loni Anderson as Mr. Carlson's receptionist Jennifer Marlowe, and Tim Reid as nighttime DJ Venus Flytrap, aka Gordon Sims.

Both Classic Sitcoms were good in my view but I favor WKRP

I'm giving WKRP the "bird" on this one, specifically the Partridge variety. The Partridge Family gets my vote all the way!

The Partridge Family defeats WKRP in Cincinnati 12-10 and will advance to the third round.
