I'm not sure what was more entertaining: the horrible writing, the completely irrelevant and random photos that were inserted, or the hilarious Easter egg pronunciations provided by Artificial Stupidity. If this is the best AI has to offer, I don't know what everyone is worried about.
Oh my God...that was the best episode classic!!! So f..king funny I forgot....it was the head of the station, Carlson, throwing them out the plane for the publicity stunt....good call😂😂😂😂
@@TracyJammeh Yup. That's what got me to watch. A few years ago, I looked at the Wikipedia page on WKRP (and the individual pages for the main actors who appeared in the show), so I knew who had passed, but I decided to watch to see if any of the surviving cast had passed more recently (they haven't).
So did I. I was so saddened when the show was canceled. 😢 Do you remember the episode with Pat O’Brien as ‘Jennifer’s’ friend who named her in his will?
i own this show. I loved Johnny and Venus together, My favorite episode was when Johnny and Venus did an on air alcohol test. It was the funniest show ive ever seen.
One of the greatest sitcoms of ALL TIME!!!! I can watch it over and over and over again, and still laugh my 🫏 off!!!! So far ahead of its time!!! And I was so in love with Bailey Quarters, even though I was just a kid back then!!!!
The turkey drop! And Gordon Jump’s last line in that episode…….. “…..as God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!” It’s the only episode I remember because it’s the most memorable. Great show over all.
There was one episode where the station was hosting a police guest who was proving the detrimental effects of being under the influence of alcohol. While Venus kept getting more inebriated with each drink he took, Johnny Fever got more sober and more focused. They had to compete to see who could hit a buzzer before their opponent after each drink. Venus got slower and goofier while Dr. Johnny Fever was on the button before anyone knew what happened!
Why did they show a Picture of Randy Travis when they were talking about Gary Sandy? Other than his WKRP characters name was Andy Travis, there should not have been a link to Randy Travis and him.
It was unfortunate for all of us that the network didn't give this charming, subtle show enough time for its true audience to find it. It was great while it lasted.
I loved disco music and still do. I grew up in the 1970s and in my most biased and subjective, humble opinion, the music of the 1970s will always be the best and greatest of all time......ever. The classic rock, hard rock, soul / R & B, jazz fusion, southern rock and disco of the 1970s made my childhood and teen years truly wonderful and so much fun !!!!!
The AI was horrible. Please don't use that again. Favorite character was Andy. Favorite episode was the one with the English band (Detective). Still listen to that song on Spotify.
I met Jan Smithers a.k.a. "Bailey" at 'Comic-Con' Los Angeles in (2011), along with Tim Reid, Howard Hesseman, and Richard Sanders. She was STILL super HOT!
Classic Hollywood is the worst!!!! The computer narration that pronounces everything wrong and shows wrong pictures of actors and the list goes on! TERRIBLE! We all need to stop giving channels like this views!
I remember the episode where Hollywood legend Pat O'Brien played The Colonel, Jennifer's man friend. He died at dinner, but had a video will. O'Brien was hilarious in the episode.
@JGLy22086 - Although Mr. Carlson would probably be on my list of second level favorites, I did like the time during the tornado episode trying to comfort a little girl who called the station, upset (if I remember correctly).
One of the best and saddest episodes was the Who concert tragedy. It's particulary special to those of us in southwest Ohio. I knew one of the victims. We went to the same high school.
As many voices would have done this justice and added humor.... the AI here is awfully dull . This was great content and with the right voice it would have better views and more thumbs up. The cast members that have passed away.... they inspired my adolescence into music and to the ones still living . WKRP was a show that my whole family watched together .A huge Thank you from when I was 11yrs.
One of my favorite shows. It made you think. Not just 30 minutes of one-liners. Of course, everyone loved Loni. But I thought Baily was much under appreciated. One of the funniest scenes was when Mr. Carlson powered his feet with cocaine. He was so hilarious and could look so confused. Like the time Les was shown in to the office for a talk with Mr. C about the metric system. And then there was the time all the Japanese tourists had a Spanish interpreter. Now, that's great comedy. Please fix or get rid of your computerized narrator. It just butchers the names.
Everything about this show was top notch. It managed to be successful while maintaining a cult following-type of feel which has carried forward to this day. It was the only show of my 70's childhood that parents and kids loved equally. What other TV series could carve this into the "memory banks" of a 9 year-old, and be remembered word for word over 40 years later: "You got the knife, I got the gun Come on boy we're gonna' have a little fun I'm a jealous man, I'd die for love" Were it not for the royalty issues of the music used in the original taping, WKRP would be the very definition of successful TV box-set sales.
There's a question being asked here. Why were different actors faces substituted for several of the WKRP cast? This has happened on other video posts as well. Why does this happen?
Wow, this is an unusually crappy UA-cam account: lousy AI voice recordings mispronouncing common words and the actors' names, poorly researched material, and unable to find actual pictures of the actual people you talk about.
2:05 episodees ??? 5:07 Hessuhman - no it is 2 syllables not 3. 12:00 Post-you-musly? 13:12 developED 13:16 significKANT How difficult would it be to have a human read the script and pronounce words correctly?
Gary Sandy was my favorite and remained a cool guy ever since the show. The cast was well known for their problems with flatulence. “Breaking wind” was part of life on the set. As the cast “cut the cheese” many around them needed air fresheners.
I met Gary Sandy at a Dodgers game in 1980. He talked to my friend me for 30 to 45 minutes. He was wearing a Cincinnati Reds t-shirt but was on the side of the Dodgers dugout when we talked to him. He would talk about anything that didn't involve talking about Loni Anderson. Lol. The Dodgers were playing the Reds that day.
This would have been good since I love WKRP. Unfortunately the AI voice that you had to use for some reason mispronounced so many words and names. Using AI to narrate a video is pure laziness.
I don't know why there are so many random people included in this presentation. I don't believe Randy Travis was on WKRP, so why show his picture without relevance when talking about Gary Sandy?
Comment 1: After a 40 year career in radio I can say beyond a shadow of doubt that WKRP was, is, and always will be my favorite TV show of all time mainly because Hugh embodied the essence of every jock with whom I ever worked in Fever and Flytrap, every salesperson in Herb, every beginner in Quarters, a number of news persons in Les, and almost every general manager in Carlson. At no station though did i encounter a Jennifer Marlow...she was a combination of station females-part receptionist, part sales person o, part PR director, and more. From masterful casting to incredibly realistic episode plots, i.e., the ratings book episode, the formst change episode, and my favorite, the bomb st the transmitter, the show was pure genius deserving of much more praise and respect than it garnered. Comment 2: After radio I spent 30 years (give or take s decade) doing voice overs so it pains me to hear computer generated voices taking jobs away from human artists. Whst really bothers me though are the producers who evidently are not professional enough to correct the computer voice when it pronounces episodes as episodees, or Hesseman as Hessaman. In both of those instances take out the silent e's in the script and do a retake; the voice will then pronounce them correctly. Better yet, hire an actual announcer-you know, one of those people who knows that the letter W is pronounced DOUBLE YOU, not debya, dubya, or debyou-It was created by typesetters who put two U's together and named it Double-U. Listen to radio station jingle packages (WLS, WABC, etc); every W uses three notes. Isn't that right VO people? Oops, time for dinner and I need some chow. Ciao.
Like others the AI made this almost unbearable, but my all time favorite and that’s saying a lot because there were so many, is the turkey one. I would love to see them all over again in order.
In the late 60s, Howard Hesseman was an actual DJ, similar to Dr. Johnny Fever, as he was a free-form DJ, and eschewed top 40/bubblegum music, in favor of underground rock & r&b.
My favorite episode was "TORNADO". Les, thought he missed the days big event, Herb unplugs Les's teletype machine as it was printing out the bulletin, and Johnny freaking out because tornados "pick on trailer parks". Then the big guy showed his leadership as he guided a young child to get to her basement just before it struck on air.
One of my favorite shows ever. However, as another commenter points out, the AI narration is an embarrassment.
When did Gary morph into Randy Travis🤣
It certainly is!
The A-I narration was both hilariously funny and painfully irritating to listen to at the same time.
I’ve heard A-I on other videos and it’s awful. The pronunciation of names and some words is awful. So wrong .
I'm not sure what was more entertaining: the horrible writing, the completely irrelevant and random photos that were inserted, or the hilarious Easter egg pronunciations provided by Artificial Stupidity.
If this is the best AI has to offer, I don't know what everyone is worried about.
Sarah Connor breathed in a short sigh of relief upon her attempting to watch this as her family is safe.
@@loboblanco4426 That un-referenced Randy Travis photo takes the cake, lol,
The Phone Police!
“As god is my witness I thought turkeys could fly.” I will never forget that! I loved WKRP in Cincinatti!
Oh my God...that was the best episode classic!!! So f..king funny I forgot....it was the head of the station, Carlson, throwing them out the plane for the publicity stunt....good call😂😂😂😂
My favorite
It was like they mounted a counter attack
Neither will I. I 😂 with laughter every time I see it! ❤
It was the best line in WKRP's best episode that season. And I would have that listed in my top 10 classic sitcom lines in all of TV history.
Your AI made this unwatchable
I've never seen one worse than this. I don't think there were more than 4 names pronounced properly.
I watched it, but wished for a human narrator throughout. Would’ve been so much better than AI.
A.I. is cheaper
Yeah this sucks
totally agree..
Bailey was hotter than Loni Anderson. Fight me.
You will NEVER get an argument from me on this!!!
Easily
Why does the thumbnail show gary sandy sitting in a wheelchair with the caption rip when he is still alive
Because this is terrible.
"click bait"
Bravo. Thank you! They always pull that sh*t.
@@TracyJammeh
Yup. That's what got me to watch. A few years ago, I looked at the Wikipedia page on WKRP (and the individual pages for the main actors who appeared in the show), so I knew who had passed, but I decided to watch to see if any of the surviving cast had passed more recently (they haven't).
I had no idea that Gary Sandy changed his name to Randy Travis and became a country music star. How interesting.
Jan Smithers is so pretty!
Yeah! Before WKRP, she was a model going back to the 60s.
She did not age well.
Yes! I always thought that she was so much prettier than Loni.
None of us have aged well.@@lwh7301
@@lwh7301 She's 74
As God as my witness, AI voices will magnify every error you miss in proofreading.
I liked all the characters from WKRP in Cincinnati and it was an awesome sitcom and I liked all the episodes and all four seasons.
So did I. I was so saddened when the show was canceled. 😢
Do you remember the episode with Pat O’Brien as ‘Jennifer’s’ friend who named her in his will?
You forgot that both Howard Hesseman and Tim Reid both appeared on THAT 70's Show several times.
i own this show. I loved Johnny and Venus together, My favorite episode was when Johnny and Venus did an on air alcohol test. It was the funniest show ive ever seen.

Andy had the best hair❤
Always thought he was a Werewolf from London, "his hair was perfect"!!!

I saw that, too. Thought I was seeing things, 👀 .
They must have gotten Andy and Randy Travis confused there for awhile.
The whole thing is a major FU, thanks to AI!
Tim Reid also had a great short-lived tv show, Frank’s Place.
It was unfortunate for all of us that the network didn't give this charming, subtle show enough time for its true audience to find it. It was great while it lasted.
Loved this Show!!
"Oh the humanity!" The best scene in sitcom history.
They REALLY gotta rewrite this AI’s pronunciation programming.
Wasn't Eadie McClurg the school secretary in the 1986 movie, FERRIS BUEHLER'S DAY OFF ?
Yep
Yup. "The kids say he's a righteous dude".
Also the rental car clerk in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: "Oh my,... you F...ked!" 😄
Love "WKRP"-I've got all four seasons on DVD.
Best US sitcom ever, in my opinion.

Ok we know and agree on hating AI. But, I loved hearing about the cast as I loved the show.
"Red wiggler the Cadillac of worms"

If this is what AI is going to be, we’re better off without it. Numerous numerous numerous mispronunciations of a whole lot of words
I knew Gordon Jump He was a Devout Mormon and a gentle kind man
He seemed like someone you would like to have as a neighbor.
I remember the episode where Hollywood legend Pat O'Brien played The Colonel, Jennifer's man friend. He died at dinner, but had a video will. O'Brien was hilarious in the episode.
Herb always had the wildest suits.
Herb was the “Chief of Polyester!!!!”
Such a great series.
Les and Herb were great! What a fun show it was.
Whst a superb show for us misfits in life.
Johnny fever made this great show what it was💓 rip howard.😢
One of the best shows ever on TV
Bailey is one of the most attractive characters on TV Ive ever seen.
I was madly in love with her as a teenager!!!!
My favorite characters were Venus Flytrap, Dr. Johnny Fever, and Bailey Quarters.
You have to remember Mr Carlson too!
@JGLy22086 - Although Mr. Carlson would probably be on my list of second level favorites, I did like the time during the tornado episode trying to comfort a little girl who called the station, upset (if I remember correctly).

A tornado in Xenia in 1974?
I saw Bailey more attractive than Jennifer.
One of the best and saddest episodes was the Who concert tragedy. It's particulary special to those of us in southwest Ohio. I knew one of the victims. We went to the same high school.
I remember that tragedy and that episode. A dose of reality. It is one of their best.
these AI fake voices piss me off.
Another narration using AI, complete with mispronunciations that are like audible speed bumps.
Hey, Classic Hollywood 1960's, FIRE your production department!
It's probably a one-man operation.

This is clickbait. When you see a celeb over 40 in a wheelchair pic or AI pics of them photoshoped to 300 lbs look out. And "episodiees"? 😂😂😂
The AI pronunciations are honestly painful! Why not do your own voiceover?

On the contrary, the REALLY, REALLY, bad AI makes this funny. However I loved this show and wanted to learn where they are/went.

Were it not for the royalty issues of the music used in the original taping, WKRP would be the very definition of successful TV box-set sales.
i guess my favorite episo-de was the one where Gary Sandy turns into Randy Travis somehow. 22min 0sec.
There's a question being asked here. Why were different actors faces substituted for several of the WKRP cast? This has happened on other video posts as well. Why does this happen?
Around 22:08 that's Randy Travis, the country singer, not Andy Travis, the WKRP guy.
Sloppy homework.
Wow, this is an unusually crappy UA-cam account: lousy AI voice recordings mispronouncing common words and the actors' names, poorly researched material, and unable to find actual pictures of the actual people you talk about.
I particularly liked the picture of Randy Travis in the Gary Sandy montage.

I liked Bailey the best!
I loved all the characters on WKRP but I think Dr. Johnny Fever was my favorite. I wish they would run it again on a channel that I get.❤
My fav was the turkey promotion
Terrible computer AI narration.
I had to stop watching this due to the AI voice-over. It is terrible. Unwatchable. It wouldn't have been too hard to use an actor.
Love the AI pronunciation...and when talking about Andy Travis showing a pic of RANDY Travis the country artist....
Jennifer was not a dumb blonde. On occasion, she may play the dumb blonde as a distraction. She is a smart and independent woman.
I liked the episode when Howard Hesseman presented Tim Reid as his "wife" to get out of a real estate deal.
Nothing was said about Hesseman's appearances on Dragnet (credited as Don Sturdy).
Howard HessAman????????
This narrator can correctly pronounce repitour, but they can't pronounce much simpler words like episode
It's AI
I never knew Arthur Carlson had a wife on the show the only person I knew was his mother on the show.
Had to stop watching due to AI.
I worked in radio when this show was on. We thought it was a documentary.
Howard Hesseman was in the audience at a Seattle jazz club in Pioneer Square we sat near him he was with a very attractive young lady!
Les had a great moment when he found a WWI pilot who took Les on a joy ride one Veterans Day, and buzzed the WPIG traffic helicopter.
Please bring the reruns back!
Andy had the best fitting jeans. Dayum!
In the late 60s, Howard Hesseman was an actual DJ, similar to Dr. Johnny Fever, as he was a free-form DJ, and eschewed top 40/bubblegum music, in favor of underground rock & r&b.
Al forgot to mention that Tim Reid's wife Daphne Maxwell guest starred on WKRP , twice.
This show is the 70s
Turkeys away maybe the funniest skit of all time😂😂
My mom went to high school with Gordon Jump.
Richard Sanders did voice work in “Inhumanoids” as Dr. Derek Bright, and in “Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle” he was Bernard the player character.
My favorite episode was "TORNADO". Les, thought he missed the days big event, Herb unplugs Les's teletype machine as it was printing out the bulletin, and Johnny freaking out because tornados "pick on trailer parks". Then the big guy showed his leadership as he guided a young child to get to her basement just before it struck on air.
