WELCOME BACK!
If there is one thing Les Nessman has always coveted, it is the ability to soar above the clouds. His greatest wish is the chance to report back to the ground about the wonders he has discovered...especially when it comes to traffic patterns in and around Cincinnati. WPIG has a brand new helicopter...the ONLY "Live Eye in the Sky" in the market!! There's a "copter gap" or somesuch...you'll have to ask Les.
Nessman can't stand it!! He does something...brash. Les hires an area crop duster to take him out over Cincinnati's highway system. Les somehow manages to establish a "plane to studio" link up. His first report takes place the day before Veterans Day. Art and Andy are mortified...Herb is amused...Johnny could care Les.
This is the first episode of Season 3. It was rushed to air in a week after the end of the Actor's Strike. The rushed production schedule, and a weird remote shooting schedule, give this episode a lurching, off-kilter quality. We've got a couple of Poster Watches...but no "Fashion Alert" or "Vibin' Threads."
Join us, Fellow Babies. We'll power through this one together even if our faces look like we just chugged Johnny's health drink!! Put your seats and tray tables in the full upright position, push 'play' and prepare for take-off!
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.]
