Supposedly the reason that “You Can’t Do That on Television” wasn’t released on commercial video, despite high demand, is that so many players and staff cycled through the show over its run that the royalties would be a nightmare. A few episodes did slip through copyright renewals over the years and have been released.

And yes, I remember the original incarnation of “ZOOM” out of “Boston Mass 02134”. While clearing out my parents’ house a few years ago I found our old copy of their crafts-and-activities book, “Do a ZOOM Do”...which made for a few good jokes in our new “remote” world.

That’s why also it’s hard to find WKRP in Cincinnati because the episodes played a lot of music that they had to pay royalties for.

I was just recalling how my friends and I went around speaking Ubbi Dubbi (or at least trying our best)
