Bailey was hot, but a bit uptight: "Nugent? I think his music is loud and repetitive, and I think his stage manner is pretentious, rude and obnoxious."

But, he is loud, repetitive, pretentious, rude, and obnoxious.

Bailey was way hotter than Jennifer.

Another classic Big Guy moment was during the tornado episode, when no one can speak Japanese, and he tells them a phrase he learned in the Marines, and they all raise their hands to surrender.

I think the funniest line for me was when Mr. Carlson is wearing the sinus mask and Johnny comes in to talk to him about something. In mid-sentence, Johnny stops and asks him what the deal is with the "disco, bondage head-gear."

Also, when the show starts there is a radio scanning the dial. The last voice before the music kicks is a news broadcast that says, "The senator, while claiming he was not intoxicated, could not explain is nudity.". That always cracked me up.

Remember the one with the crooked DJ (Rex Winter) getting cocaine payola; Carlson thought it was foot powder!

Yep. I loved her studious, librarian-glasses wearing, who-me?, smoldering look. }:-p

Lyrics to the opening theme song of "WKRP in Cincinnati:"

Baby, if you've ever wondered
Wondered whatever became of me
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati
Cincinnati, WKRP
Got tired of the packing and unpacking
Town to town, up and down the dial
Maybe you and me were never meant to be
But think of me oh once in a while
I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati




So long, Big Guy. May God be merciful to you.
