  • The topical humor of The Firesign Theatre was big on college campuses and FM radio.
    The commercials of WKRP don’t disappoint, they inherit the same vibe of the times.
    The Del’s discount stereo spot has the perfect patter of Firesign’s ‘Ralph’s Spoilsport motors’.

      And it won't be syndicated til around 2050 due to the music, so I recommend picking up the series from someone reputable like Walmart. A lot of copies are just that.

    1:35 That was my first experience of what I would later find out is the "Bader-Meinhoff Phenomenon". In history class, we were just starting to learn about World War I, in which the "spark which lit the powder keg" was the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand. And that night, Johnny made that joke. Perfect timing.

      Herb’s info on wikipedia is really good.
      He’s shifty and has to work with 2nd and 3rd tier shady advertisers.
      Episodes ‘A Mile in My Shoes’ and ‘Changes’ are good Herb stories.

    I wonder if any real life Cincinnati businesses of the time advertised their business on WKRP as a clever joke. Maybe a well known business only in the Cincinnati area despite the show being national, possibly international or even one that frequently advertises on real radio stations of all genre's
