He may have been pure 70's, but I still hated his wardrobe!!! I couldn't stand those so-called "leisure suits" that were stylish during the 70's, either. I guess I am an old fashioned guy!!!

From the posts here, it seems there are more Cincinnati folks that I thought.

How do we make a Cincinnati Chapter of FR?

To clarify, SeeBS still has new at the top of the hour, but FOX has it's news at the bottom of the hour. Hence the 'fair and balanced'. Not as good as what I thought it was at first, but I'll take it.

Remember Herb's philosophy on life? There were two groups of people out there...
Herb: The whole world is in revolution, and not just here, but everywhere. And you know who's at war?

Les: No.

Herb: It's the dungarees versus the suits, Les. The whole world is in two armed camps - over here, we have the dungarees, and over here the suits. Remember the riots from the sixties? It was the dungarees versus the suits. And then Watergate. Those guys arrested were wearing dungarees, and who suffered for it?

Les: The suits!

Herb: Exactly!

Les: But there were issues, Herb.

Herb: The issues, issues, were a smokescreen. Now listen. When a son disobeys his father, what's he wearing?

Les: The son? Uh... dungarees!

Herb: And what's the father got on?

Les: Probably a suit!

Herb: Do ya see what I mean, Les?

Les: Yeah!

Herb: And do you know what's worse?

Les: What?

Herb: The fathers are beginning to wear dungarees too!

Les: That's right!

Herb: And so are the mothers!

Les: It's just like "The Bodysnatchers"!
(I had to look this one up... couldn't remember it all)

Is that a roll of Bailey Quarters in your pocket, or are you happy to see her?

There's a real WKRC in Cincinnati?

The TV show was "WKRP in Cincinnati".

WKRC has been in Cincinnati for...well, forever.

One of my favorites was Carlson putting the coke on his feet, thinking it was foot powder - "I'm hooked!"
(And the one where Les pronounced Chihuahua "Chi-hoo-wa-hoo-wa"...)

Wasn't Jerry Springer the mayor of Cincinnati in the years that program aired?

I frequent radio boards and whenever someone complains about stations dumping one format or another to make
more $$, I bring up a moment in the first episode of
WKRP. When Andy Travis dumps "beautiful music" for raucous rock, station owner Mrs. Carlson says, "Young man,
this radio station is a BUSINESS. It is not here for
your personal employer."

Travis replies, "Ma'am, I know it's a business...
and that's why I had to change the format..."

The famous scene from that episode: informed of the
format change, Johnny Caravella (Howard Hesseman)
drags a needle across a record ("...what's a record?")
and says "OK, Cincinnatti it is time for THIS town
to get DOWN! You've got Johnny--DR. Johnny FEVER
and I'm burning up in here! We're all in critical
condition, babies, but you can tell us where it
hurts...'Give it to me straight, Doctor, I can
take it!"

Howie's has an affiliate in Newark, OH, doesn't he? Or he once did. Better even still would be to have Howie AND Sean

at one point there was a "WKRP" on the air but it was a country station in Dallas, Georgia, I think.

"WKRP" creator Hugh Wilson later did the "Police
Academy" movies

In that first episode, even though WKRP had changed to rock they still had the run the ads currently under contract--including ads for funeral parlors and rest homes.

VENUS FLYTRAP: "So let's get into it, my brothers and
sisters. Together we will growl and HOWL!!!...right
after this message from Shady Hills rest home."

COMMERCIAL: "Many of us have asked this age...old...
question. What happens when I can no longer feed
myself?"...

Remember this one?

"Hey, you're young and swingin',
No time to think about tomorrow
But there ain't no way to deny it
Some day, you're gonna buy it.
Plan today,
Go with Ferryman
Tomorrow!
Ferryman, Ferryman,
he's the man with the plan, the man with the plot!
Ferryman, Ferryman,
He's the mortician man who loves you!
A lot!"

...went onto their site and saw they're owned by Clear
Channel. Sure, they went from CBS to Fox News but CC
has also been changing the formats of some of their
stations to Air Frankenfraud--including WKOX and
WXKS in the Boston area and now WHJJ in Providence.
