Overview: When a Cincinnati radio station switches from sedate music to top-40 rock 'n' roll, its staff of oddball characters is forced to switch gears quickly. New programming director Andy Travis brings in a new DJ named Venus Flytrap to work with the station's burned-out veteran, Dr. Johnny Fever. Neurotic newsman Les Nessman, eager beaver Bailey Quarters, sleazy salesman Herb Tarlek, blonde bombshell Jennifer Marlowe, who serves as the station's ultra-capable receptionist, and station manager Arthur Carlson, whose domineering mother owns WKRP, round out the eccentric bunch.

WKRP was one of my favorite shows to watch in syndication reruns in the 80's. Till this day if I screw up really, really big my response is always the same.... "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"

Oh, and 'Team Bailey'.

+1 team-wise. Always liked the theme song as well.

Always liked the theme song as well.

It's one of the great themes from the time and I have it in my YT Music listening library.

It's a shame that TV shows no longer have their own theme songs like the used to back in the 70's & 80's.

Same.

Haven't watched much TV in quite a while, so not sure how much re-purposed tunes are used.
