WKRP Weekly Episode Discussion - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dlemond · 10-25-2002, 12:46 PM

Ok, I am the worst offender.

I haven't commented on Explosive yet and it's Friday.

I want people to comment on episodes from weeks before too- it's not dead because the week is over.

I will pick a new episode tonight, but I plan on posting on Explosive this weekend too after I watch it again.

dlemond · 10-28-2002, 04:45 PM

OK OK

I suck.

Sorry, been real busy, family stuff and such.

I did do another random number search and came up with "Changes." I hope people have this on tape or at least some of the posters can talk about its content.

Hope everyone is doing well.

It's amazing how fast the weeks go.

I'm in the middle of paper hell (a 5 page one due Monday and I'm on page 1)... anyway it popped into my head that we maybe could discuss the pilot episode. If that's ok with everyone. I'm interested to hear what you guys have to say about it and I'm wondering if anyone here actually watched it the very first time it aired on CBS? That's kindof a stretch, I know, but one never knows.

In any case I hope that's alright with everyone.

dlemond · 11-02-2002, 07:40 PM

Not too much of a stretch for an old fart like me.

I watched it the first time it aired on CBS and I remember it distinctly, because Andy put up a KISS poster in his office and I was a huge KISS fan as a kid.

I think I they actually showed that in the commercials for the premiere, but I can't be sure.

But I was into it from the start, I loved radio as a kid and I wanted to be a DJ.

If you want to discuss the pilot that is fine with me.

If you start the discussion just lead with Weekly Discussion - Pilot pt 1.

Part 2 is really a totally separate episode.

i agree that pilot part one and pilot part two should be discussed on seperate weeks because they are two different episodes not two parts of one episode.
pilot part one was shot in april 1978 and pilot part two was shot in july or august.

Jaimie, do you have an opinion on why that is? Assuming that the ep is available uncut, why do you figure they might cut it up? I noticed Hoodlum Rock and a date w/ jennifer also run about 22 minutes w/o commercials from there. I cant imagine any controversial goings on in those eps. Maybe they needed to hack out some dialog that was centered around music? Maybe they're doing it on purpose just to be, you know - "that way"

<GGGGG>

karma · 11-03-2002, 11:20 PM

Wow, I bow before anyone who saw the pilot episode originally. I've only talked to two people who ever remember watching the show when it was originally aired... mind you I'm only 21 so I guess that's not too bad.
One of my friends is a local singer, and she does a reworked cover of the (opening) theme song sometimes when she sings... other than that none of my friends are really familiar with the show.

OK FOLKS.

I've been away for a while, my tapes all packed up as I moved, but I figured that this would be a good time to get the board going again.

And with Thanksgiving coming up, what better way to start than with the most recognizable of all WKRP episodes: "Turkeys Away."

Anyone who wants to start the thread just lead with: Weekly Episode - Turkeys Away. Or something to that effect.

dlemond · 02-25-2003, 05:08 PM

OK, whoever is out there, break out your tapes and let's get back to the episode discussions.

While commenting on another thread I noted Venus Rising, and I think we could start there.

SO, whoever wants to begin, post a new thread.

APPLEI?
DetectiveGriffin?
Jamie Weinman???? (where has Jamie gone?)
