Let's be WKRP in Cincinnati

I'm the over-the-ending-credits theme song. No one has ever deciphered my lyrics.

I'm Dr. Johnny Fever's sunglasses.

I'm...the tragic turkeys.

People talk about Gary Sandy's tight pants but Frank Bonner could've got it.

Did Frank Boner have a nice ass?

I'm this...and I know EXACTLY where your eyes are going.

I’m the wig Les put on when he was hotblooded.

I'm Venus Flytrap's Jackson 5 afro.

I'm Jennifer's luxury apartment on a receptionist's salary.

I’m living on the air in Cincinnati.

I’m Bailey and I’m actually prettier than Jennifer.

Bittersweet theme song.

🎶"... Maybe you and me were never meant to be; but, Baby, think of me once in a while. I'm at WKRB in Cincinnati."

I am the flabbergasted State Trooper administering shots to Venus and Johnny for a drunk reflex test that sees Johnny improve with imbibement.

I'm Sparky Marcus. Somehow I'm the elementary school aged son of a near retiree-aged Gordon Jump.

I am the crew that did not quite understand that turkeys don’t fly.

R3 So very sorry

This shit? Again?

Frank Bonner, Gary Sandy AND Tim Reid circa 1981 could all get it. Possibly at the same time.

R16 = Mother Carlson's dusty, cracked cuntlips.

I'm Sylvia Sidney, laughing at the Temu version of me they got to play the role of Momma Carlson after they wouldn't pay me what I was worth.

I'm Steele, Jennifer told me "I don't loan men money, it makes them weak".

R14 - Gordon Jump was only 46 when he started playing Mr. Carlson. His looks aged prematurely like Gene Hackman and Wilford Brimley who was only 50 when he appeared in Cocoon.

I think a man's name says a lot about him, my name is Steele, what's your name? Les.

I'm the rude awakening from a nap when the end credits song starts blaring.

I’m the god damned luckiest beach ball in the world.

I'm Les' Band-Aid supply

I'm the sheer height of Jennifer's hair.

Did WKRP stand for? I don’t want to assume the last 3 letters.

I'm the Turkeys dive-bombing the Parking lot.

I'm Jennifer Marlowe's doorbell, "Fly Me to the Moon."

THE TURKEYS have been addressed in this thread.

I repeat, THE TURKEYS have been done.

I'm the surprisingly tight scripts.

I'm the Who concert stampede episode

R17 Bailey was much prettier than Jennifer.

There is a WKRC AM radio station in Cincinnati. We residents assumed WKRP was a take on that. I lived about five miles away from the WKRC studios at the time. I would have made a daily trip to serve the needs of Gary Sandy if he was actually there.

I’m that pithy, bitchy queen Hirsh. I didn’t get much airtime, but I made the utmost of what I did get.

I’m the fact this isn’t far from how the people act at actual real life radio stations, especially Les.

[quote] I'm the over-the-ending-credits theme song. No one has ever deciphered my lyrics.

There actually weren’t any. The guy who composed it laid down a demo track intended to write some later, but producer Hugh Wilson decided to use it as it was, gibberish lyrics and all. It was a goof on the indecipherable lyrics of many period rock songs.

I’m the previous radio station that fired Johnny for saying “booger” on the air.

I’m the non- intoxicated Senator who could not explain my nudity.

I’m Mother Lillian Carlson. Alexis Carrington Colby had nothing on me.

I'm Herbs white shoes and matching belt

I'm Herb's long-suffering wife, played by the always wonderful Edie McClurg. I enjoy Little House on the Prairie's wholesome stories of blind children out west who are always having a fire or a fatal disease very much!

I’m Herbert R. Tarlek III. It took a while but I finally came out. The dolls should have been a clue. Dad took the news better than I would have thought.

I’m the coveted Silver Sow Award.

I'm the Frisch's Big Boy billboard in the opening credits

R1: "I'm the over-the-ending-credits theme song. No one has ever deciphered my lyrics."

Actually, I deciphered one word decades ago: "bartender". But that's it.

I'm the episode that Johnny and Venus pretended to be gay. "It's always Liza Minnelli this and Liza Minnelli that".

I'm the insinuation that Les might be gay in an early episode.

I'm Red Wigglers, " The Cadillac of Worms".

I'm the jingle recorded for the creepy guy from that mortuary.

I'm Dr. Bob Halyers, and I bear a suspicious resemblance to Jerry Falwell.

I'm "Dogs" from the "Turkeys Away" episode, which Pink Floyd would not allow to be in the syndicated reruns or on home video.

I’m the hole in the ozone layer resulting from Jennifer’s irresponsible use of hairspray

I’m the endless royalties battles that prevents the show from being reaired

I'm Jan Smithers. I loathe that cunt Barbra.

I'm the WKRP mascot, the Carp AKA Herb Tarlek, getting into slapfest with the WPIG pig.

I’m the sexual harassment that Herb would never be allowed to get away with today.

Would it have been considered sexual harassment because Herb was so, so lame.

I've forgotten so many episodes and want to see it again, but apparently, it's not streaming?

I'm Vicki von Vicky in my designer disco jeans. I have a surprise for Herb!

I'm this great line spoken by Sylvia Sidney as Mother Carlson:

Mother (on the phone): "You're a REPROBATE and a BUM!!"

[Andy enters]

Mother: "We'll talk more later."

Interesting blog

[quote] I'm Vicki von Vicky in my designer disco jeans. I have a surprise for Herb!

It was Nikki who works for Vicki that had the "surprise."

I’m the bookie who puts people on hold.

R58 All the music WKRP used has become a legal nightmare. However, Shout! released all the episodes on DVD several years ago and you can pick these up pretty cheap these days (I got the set for around $20 on eBay recently). They paid for all the music they could and replaced the music they couldn't.

I wouldn't count on EVER seeing WKRP on streaming again... it's just too much of a headache.

I’m DL fave Barrie Youngfellow guest-starring as an old flame of Andy Travis. I almost lure him away from WKRP with my raw sexuality

I’m the tiny black speedo Gary Sandy wore in the episode where the sleazy photographer takes pictures of Loni Anderson changing. I somehow manage to completely mask the bulge so prominent when he wears jeans

I'm Heavy Early, Dr. Johnny Fever's Sleep-deprived alter ego.

I'm the Dayton Poisoner.

I'm Appa-la-CHEE-ah.

I'm racehorse Fever's Dream.

I’m the pornographic slide that mistakenly landed in the disastrous advertising presentation for Vicki von Vicki.

What kind of porn was Andy jerking to anyway? America’s imagination ran wild at this point.

I'm Rip Tide.

I'm the second Mrs. Carlson...

I'm Chai-Chai Rodruhgweez.

I'm Bill Evans' "Remembering the Rain" which Venus played in the closing scene of "In Concert". I'm a pretty good tune.

I'm Venus lighting his midnight mood candles in the studio before his date arrives.

I'm the gangbanger learning about electrons and protons from former schoolteacher Venus Flytrap.

“As god is my witness I thought turkeys could fly”

I just watched Les reporting from the Mall for the great thanksgiving give away.

I want to put R78's quote in my sig, but I don't think it would fly in my office.

I may have shot a load or two to the scene depicted in r66's photo.

We're the phone cops. We play HARDBALL, man!

I'm the synagogue the Tarleks go to when the crew from "Real Families" is following them around.

We’re The Scum of the Earth!

I am all of Jennifer's sweater dresses.

I'm the cruelty to the final record played under the old format

R14- He looked about 52 years old- hardly retirement age but too old to have a son so young- nowadays that would be nothing. The Albino Cooper Vanderbilt had a kid(s) at 54.

Gary Sandy had to manscape in order to wear that speedo in the scene, R66. It could not cover all of his pubic hair otherwise. They tried to make it work, but were unsuccessful. This from a member of the production staff.

R87 OMFG........ 🍆 💦

Whatever happened to Gary Sandy? One.of.the few guys with none straight hair that looked good in the late1970s-early 1980s.

He's still around R89. Aged badly.

From Loni Anderson's autobiography:

There’s also her romance that evolved into an addiction to sex with former “WKRP” co-star Gary Sandy: “I couldn’t keep my hands off him. I admit that I was sexually addicted to him. We would go out to dinner and not even make it home from restaurants; we had to pull over to the side of the road. On a busy street!”

I wish Gary Sandy had porked me in his hot days.

Now he looks like if a steamroller ran over the Professor from Gilligan's Island and put Johnny Cash's pompadour wig on.

I’m Jim Ellis. I’m the Atlanta singer who mumbles the unintelligible closing credit lyrics. There are no real lyrics.

I'm the damned good movie that could be made of this concept the casting, script, and art direction are right.

I'm Herbs cute daughter Bunny with the thick glasses and then sick frog.

^^And I am the podiatrist that Les gets from another floor to look at the frog.

[quote] I'm the damned good movie that could be made of this

Herb and Jennifer, the movie version

R93 (((recoils)))

I'll give him this, he's almost 80, and he looked somewhat decent until his late 60s.

But age is a biatch.

There was already a movie made of WKRP... before there was a WKRP.

I wanted to get high with and suck off Johnny Fever. I envisioned a carpet of blond fur on his chest and torso.

I loved the mustache and beard stubble.

Hesseman pinged, then and later in his career.

Hesseman and Gary Sandy were both the kind of guys my little babygay self was into back then.....
