Just don't see the point. [Posted on 2008-09-27]
Just adding another voice to the negative reviews in response to the decision to replace the original music, in the faint hope that some day somebody in charge will look at the numbers and say, "Whoa, look at all these negative comments, all because we didn't pay for the original songs". The show itself is one of the best ensemble sitcoms ever made, and it's simply a crime that it's been compromised in this way.

Dissapointed [Posted on 2008-10-20]
I have to agree with many of the nay-sayers about this DVD. I loved this show and they've blown it by editing the soundtrack. Some of the jokes and the whole theme of certain shows were highlighted by the soundtrack. I bought it because I loved the show, but it's with a heavy heart and big dissapointment. I hope they release season 2 as-is...heck...I'd rather have crappier quality and an intact show than the crap they give us in the Season 1 set. As for copyrights...what a bunch of crap...these artists should be thrilled their music is getting airplay through this popular series. Heck...they would even boost their sales for a new generation if they'd let it alone!

WKRP fans unite....  [Posted on 2008-10-21]
Put me down as another fan who would pay a large sum of money per season to get the original un edited series.

FOX: I will pledge that I will pay $450 for all four seasons (90 episodes) thats five bucks per show.

I'll take more jokes over bad 60's/70's music! [Posted on 2008-11-11]
Enough already! I know most of the original music has been cut but this still remains one of the very best sitcom's ever. I own the official DVD set and a knock off with the original music. After watching Season 1 on both sets I prefer the official release. No one seems to have noticed that although music has been changed, jokes have been added. Almost every episode contains a scene or extension of a scene that is not on the knock off. Yes I would love to have it all on one DVD but until that happens this is the best set available.

Total Junk - Editing Has Destroyed The Show [Posted on 2008-11-27]
The show as it originally aired was witty and hilarious. This version, though, has been heavily edited, to the point of leaving a bad taste in your mouth.

The music and music references are an integral part of the show, WKRP, with it intertwined in the story line. Imagine if they took I Love Lucy and removed all references to Ricky Ricardo? Or removed all references to Louie De Palma from episodes of Taxi? That's what you get when you strip the music and music references from WKRP.
