HAHA!

Yeah, that's what it pretty much sounds like!

chrisco123		2008-05-07 09:06:51 PM

That's pretty good. Too bad you missed all the Scientology stuff.

kaminariko		2008-05-07 09:08:31 PM

Great. Now I'm going to picture Ceiling Cat every time I hear the MTM logo sound.

When I was growing up in the 70's our whole family would yell "I SAW THE CAT!" when the MTM kitty did its thing.

My, the long winter evenings must have simply flown by.

Best theme song ever. The closing one, I mean, not the opener.

IgG4		2008-05-08 08:04:53 AM

Now it all makes sense...

Adman12		2008-05-08 09:22:00 AM

Cool. Although damn you for making me miss that show in its original glory.

Outtaphase		2008-05-08 09:42:21 AM

That made me curious. From Wiki:

The closing theme, "WKRP In Cincinnati End Credits", was a hard rock number composed and performed by Jim Ellis, an Atlanta musician who recorded some of the incidental music for the show. According to people who attended the recording sessions, Ellis didn't yet have lyrics for the closing theme, so he sang nonsense words to give an idea of how it would sound. Wilson decided it would be funny to use lyrics that were deliberately gibberish, as a satire on the incomprehensibility of many rock songs.[7] Also, since CBS always had an announcer talking over the closing credits, Wilson knew that no one would actually hear the closing theme lyrics anyway.

This was terrible.

Unoriginal idea followed by bad source material = unfunny.

The WKRP end theme lyrics

Said to the bartender "Best night I ever had"
Singin' to the bar
Had a microphone in(to) her heart

I said -
Goodbye madam
I'd had a bird in hand

I said - I'm doing good
And put love in her heart

If you play it backwards it says "Go to church, tithe, TITHE".

I'll settle for a condo at Gone With the Wind Estates?

puckhead		2008-05-08 11:51:46 AM

Don't suppose anyone has been able to find the music (guitar tab preferably) for that tune?

+1 would read again.

Anyone know where to find DVDs of WKRP with all the music intact?

Thank the record companies' licensing rules for that one. Go ahead. Thank 'em.

Anyone who didn't like that can suck my ass right now.

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"

"Oh, the horror, the horror. They are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!"

If this show comes out on DVD, I will purchase it simply for that one episode.

"My personal favorite button".

And we have never seen her nekked.

Jennifer is a cunningly constructed Soviet Spy that once was a man!

Shouldn't that be +1 for referencing Bloom County?

No seriously, I can't stand to be minus'd.

Take it back, TAKE IT BACK NOW.

/you know how I can tell I just had a shot of Jamison?

dee_dub		2008-05-08 05:01:51 PM

I came her for pictures of Mama Carls... uh, Bailey Quarters. Sorely disappointed.

nirwana		2008-05-08 05:04:52 PM

I never could figure out why everyone called the black dude Penis ?

I peed a little.

Thanks for this.

No pictures of Bailey Quarters... WTF??!??

snocone		2008-05-08 06:05:43 PM

Jan Smithers,,Nummm, drool.
Producer hired her for the show sight unseen(sorta not) because he had seen a shot of her ass on a scooter. Wish I had a copy of her butt sticking out of those shorts in that frame.
Hmm. might have been Time magazine.

Boy Wonder, look that up!

Uh, that was not a word allowed too much on TV at the time. The black DJ was Venus Flytrap.

/Somehow I feel you knew this.
//Used to live in Ohio, they had a station WKRQ in Cincinatti, the DLs claimed the show was based on them, not true.
///Last comment was too long to be a slashie.

sunlion		2008-05-09 02:20:25 AM

One of the DJ's, I believe Johnny, was based on an actual Cincinnati DJ. But not Jim Scott. Nor (surprisingly) Curt Gary.

There is/was also a WKRC.

Heh. 5 AM for me. There's a principal there or something.

I wonder if cops do things because Dietrich or Wojo did?

Season 1 is out on DVD, and does indeed include that episode.
