S4E14 - "Changes" w/Tom Dreesen

WKRP-Cast

Send a note to Allen & Donna…

WELCOME BACK!!
Jennifer says it at lunch with Herb (yeah, right there should tell you how crazy this one is!!): "Change is exciting, don't you think?"
Maybe when it's happening to someone else, but the changes happening around the station are leaving everyone reeling. Herb is looking GOOD in a conservative grey suit. He's also spouting the supply-side doctrine of the new Reagan Administration. Who is this fellow in the nice-looking suit, and what have you done with our Herb??!!
But Herb's threads are nothing compared to the outfit Venus assembles. Venus is being interviewed for "Black Life Magazine" about being a black deejay. Venus is worried he's been hanging out with all these white folks for so long, he's not as black as he should be! He blacks things WAY up with the "Root Suit by Monsanto" (ask Johnny).
Tom Dreesen shows up playing the Black Life reporter (!) and WE TALK TO HIM!! Tom was kind enough to talk to us about his early days with Tim Reid, his time on WKRP and a whole host of other topics.
We're SUPERSIZED! We almost touched the 90-minute mark on this one. If you normally listen to us on the way to work, this week we'll get you there and BACK!! So, depending on how you look at it...enjoy!...or, sorry for being so long-winded! With two great storylines AND Tom Dreesen, there was no way this one wasn't going to run long!
Don't miss this fantastic episode, fellow babies! If change is for the good, this is about as good as it gets. Push 'play' for all the details...and your new Slim Whitman collection should be arriving in four to six weeks.
WATCH ALONG DETAILS...
[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]
