A COMMERCIAL BREAK - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Marvo301 · 09-19-2009, 02:46 AM

I just recently rewatched this episode in which the staff of WKRP write and perform a jingle for a funeral home. Of course the "Big Guy" Aurthur Carlson has an attack of conscience at the last minute and decides the station can't do business with a funeral home that offers group rates! (were they going after the mass murderer market?!?!) This viewing served to remind me what an incredibly funny show WKRP was and really made me wish that all four seasons of this wonderful show were out on DVD. They don't make them like this anymore! More's the pity!!

I LOVE that episode/jingle.

I like that episode too. Looks like they are going to just do season one on DVD for now. I suspect copyright issues with the music they used on that show.

I'd pay $100 a season for official, original, unedited WKRP.

Not that I can really afford it, but it would be worth it to me.

I still love that jingle - "bye bye"!!
