WKRP in Cincinnati

US comedy charting the lives of the staff behind AM rock station WKRP. The series appeared in September 1978, with 90 episodes.

The team consisted of morning man Doctor Johnny Fever, Programme controller Andy Travis, station owner Arthur Carlson, receptionist Jennifer Marlowe, journalist Les Nessman (always pictured with a plaster!), 'Venus Flytrap', Herb Tarlek, and the sexy backroom babe, Bailey Quarters.

An attempt at reviving the series came in 1991, with the start of the "New WKRP", but this wasn't a patch on the old series.

Will the series ever be released on DVD? Apparently the key reason for the fact that this show doesn't get repeated or released on DVD in the UK, is one of copyright - the show played a lot of music, and getting permission to use it, costs.
