Ep 28: WKRP in Cincinnati

This week CFX heads back into the world of ‘70s AM radio, heading up and down the dial, to tackle one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time: WKRP in Cincinnati. We go into the backstory, cast, and characters of this groundbreaking show and then we try to decide if its ability to stand the test of time is really meant to be or if we’ll only think of it once in a while. Along the way we learn…

• Which of the cast members once had a “thing” with Janis Joplin
• What a Leprechaun is and why you’ll need to know that in order to graduate from DJ school
• What famous actor could have played Andy Travis in a WKRP movie
• Why you might want to be careful about using a prop poster with “Welcome Scum” written on it
• Why you should ONLY watch this show on DVD (do not stream)
• What the lyrics are to that end title theme
• How Richard Nixon played a prominent role in the plot of a famous episode
• What having a monkey on your foot actually means
• And we almost forgot, fellow babies….BOOGER!!!
