WKRP Weekly Episode Discussion - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dlemond · 09-20-2002, 10:47 AM

TO get this board rolling, I suggest we pick an episode from WKRP once a week and use it as a topic of discussion.

Obviously we do not have the luxury of reruns right now.

So, those of us who have episodes on tape can watch the episode over the weekend (or whenever) and then we can talk about what we liked, disliked, the writing, the acting - etc.

Those who don't have the episode can post thoughts, ask questions, and just get interested in WKRP again.

I don't care how we pick the episode or the day we start the discussion, I just want to know what you think of the idea.

SO?

Sure...I'm game, sounds like a good idea. Out of the 90 episodes I have nearly all of 'em...missing 4 or 5. You want to start with "Real Families"?- that particular show was pretty brilliant- excellent writing, and Lucille Tarlek (actress name escapes me at the moment) almost steals the show...."uh huh...bye bye now...we're off to pray...."

dlemond · 09-20-2002, 05:25 PM

Real Families is fine with me.

I don't know when people want to start to post on it .

Should we make this a weekend thing- comments starting Sunday night going til Friday?

Of course anyone can talk about any other episodes and things on the board, I just meant for our discussion subject.

In the future we can pick episodes at random - and Ram if you are only missing a few we can go around them. I'm missing one.

SO anyone else out there - Real Families - I'll post the topic on Sunday night.

OK?

dlemond · 09-20-2002, 05:33 PM

I was just thinking, maybe we should just pick the episode on Fridays and people can start posting whenever they want.

Just lead off the post subject with Weekly Episode - (the title)

karma · 09-20-2002, 08:07 PM

Sounds good to me.

So are we starting with Real Families for this coming week then?

dlemond · 09-20-2002, 08:24 PM

OK.

Let's start with Real Families.

Anyone can start, just make the post subject like I said above.

We can figure out a way to randomly pick other episodes this week.

karma · 09-21-2002, 04:09 PM

I was just thinking of a way to pick the new weekly episode...

How about going by the episode that the Comedy network airs on Fridays, for any Canadians or satellite peeps? (i.e. yesterday's episode was 'Daydreams.') The ones who don't have the CN but who have the episodes taped can maybe watch it if they want. I was just thinking that this way it would be perhaps fresher in our minds?

Whatever, if you guys think this idea sucks, feel free to let me know!

dlemond · 09-21-2002, 05:45 PM

That's fine with me.

But are we starting with Daydreams or Real Families?

jaime_weinman · 09-21-2002, 10:53 PM

I thought I just started a Real Families discussion (see below).

Besides, the Comedy Network's tape of "Daydreams" is hacked to pieces. Not much to discuss.

karma · 09-22-2002, 07:49 PM

Yeah, I was just thinking of a way of picking future episodes. Real Families is awesome!

And yeah, the cut version of Daydreams is pretty bad.. they left out Bailey's daydream completely.

dlemond · 09-27-2002, 09:08 PM

I want to pick a new episode.
I asked for someone on another board to pick a number
between 1 - 90 and the first person picked 22.

That is "Preacher."

Is this ok with you guys?

If not I can go to a random number generator and start over.

APPLEI · 09-27-2002, 11:45 PM

"the preacher" sounds good too me

dlemond · 10-04-2002, 04:16 PM

First:
Sorry I have posted so late on the weekly discussion episode.

And please, you other people, chime in.

Second:
I again asked on another board for a number between 1 and 90 and someone replied 59.

That is "Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide"

Though it is part 1, the 2-parters are one for the weekly discussion- if they picked 60 it would have been the same.
No point in discussing half of it and thats it.

And besides- this did orginally air as a 1-hour episode.

dlemond · 10-11-2002, 07:52 PM

Ok, I asked for a random number again and I kept getting the third season.

I devised a new way to keep mixing up the seasons to a decent degree and I got :

Most Improved Station

dlemond · 10-18-2002, 10:10 PM

Ah, another week.

I am actually taking this pick from a random number generator, excluding the first couple of seaons.

It came out "An Explosive Affair"

Come on, I want to see a lot more people talking about WKRP, I mean where is the love?

This is a great episode so give us something guys.
