Agree on WKRP. Wish TV Land would play it.
They tried, but didn’t want to pay the royalties on all the old classic rock that Johnny Fever played, so they put in songs like “Achy Breaky Heart.” It ruined a lot of the ambiance of the show. I liked it when it was absurdist, but it got very serious towards the end, and I didn’t care for it nearly as much.
They can’t play the original show without changing it.
It seems that the RIAA is miffed that the show doesn’t have the rights to play the music they played. If the show is on, they have to substitute the musical soundtrack. That’d ruin it.
