Thank you. I always have to track this down each year. Now I'm off to find a full version of Alice's Restaurant.

I would be so happy if they ever released episodes of WKRP with the original music used in each episode.

Miami Vice dvds have all the original music, as far as I can tell.

CBS Paramount just cheaped out on WKRP. I'm hoping SHOUT Factory or someone will do that show justice. I'll pay top dollar.

Me too. But short of one of us fans hitting the lottery and using the money to pay the outrageous licensing fees, that will never happen. At least not until the songs are in the public domain. There is just no way to make that profitable.

public domain is dead, they'll just keep putting in extensions every 20 years.

My first time seeing that. Living in Cincinnati, it's odd seeing the opening, and recognizing the buildings and such.

Weirder is the DJ looking exactly like my uncle, and yeah, he STILL dresses like that, but this is Cincinnati, so that's not so unusual.

Our token black guys don't look like Shepherd Book with an afro, though. If I could steal one thing....

I misread the headline and heard Liam Neesons voice in my head, in a very serious tone, "I swear. As God as my witness. I thought turkeys could fly." THAT would be one hell of a remake. He will find them. And he will kill them. And then serve them up with some gravy and mashed potatoes.

Yay!!

Also, fark Hulu and their 30 day waiting period.

I always wondered whether or not it would be feasible for a television production company to create separate music labels for each television show, scour the internet for good acts, and create a coaching/recording/mp3 distribution deal that, for services provided, retains the rights to any song produced in perpetuity for the show, promotions, and any dvd (with an appropriately structured residuals payments for each) but still allows the artists creative control, performance rights, and cd sales.

But, then again, I wondered whether or not you could create a business model using "late night advertising" time to create an independent television series and marketing of your own without having to go through a major network.


I have thoughts on many things.

Like this exact episode, where they had to seriously shorten this scene because they can't use Pink Floyd:

Link (new window)

(There are rips of crappy VHS versions with all the original music all over the place tho.)

/non-flying turkeys need flying pigs

Outstanding. Thanks, subby.

My favorite holiday themed episode of any show ever. I remember watching it when it first came on. Thought my dad would fall out of his chair he was laughing so hard.
