I just noticed that they have released it.....it's in the Best Buy circular in today's paper.

Sorry if this is a repost...

Yeah, supposedly though they've replaced a lot of the music in the actual episodes to avoid copyright problems, which was the reason it had never been released on DVD in the first place.

Jan Smithers. :drool:

Never heard of it.

A classic, clean comedy, I have many of the episodes on VHS along with 20 year old commercials; that really confuses people who come over and watch and see a commercial for 1987 vehicle. :)

You'd better edit that out of your post before Bob Dole sees it.

Its a classic show..

im a youngin but i enjoyed it on the re run circuit

uh...Mr Carlson?

It was a great show. The local paper gave it a bad review because they said the deleted scenes because of the music copyright issue.

WKRP IN CINCINNATI — THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

One of the most requested DVDs ever has been “WKRP in Cincinnati,” the classic TV sitcom set in a radio station that changes formats on the arrival of a new program director.

While it’s good that the series finally made it to DVD, it’s bad that the show is a shell of its former self because it’s been cut to shreds due to music copyrights. When you have a show about the radio industry, and can’t play the songs originally in the show, there is a problem; cutting the affected scenes from the show entirely makes the situation even worse.

This is a terrible DVD release of a great show and a tremendous disappointment to fans.

Price: $39.98.

Since i was young I labeled the actors by stereotype not by name

Do I hear an echo?

Wow, thats too bad...cutting the original music out of WKRP would be like cutting the surgery scenes out of ER.

I know it's pretty cut up due to royalty issues, but I will take what I can get. I liked this show more for it character interaction rather than the music behind it.
