    S4E05 - "Straight from the Heart"

    WELCOME BACK!!
    Herb is going on vacation...with his insurance papers. It's how ol' "Work Hard/Play Hard" Herbie rolls. Or maybe not. Jennifer starts to worry, Les starts to dial hospitals.

    He starts with the cheapest first, so it doesn't take long. One call is enough and Huggable Herbie has been located. Les decides to visit Herb before jetting off to Omaha and Copper Cob Accolades.

    Herb decides to visit a Porn Theater. Hang on...there is a rationale, but this gets weird. Herb's decided, in order to live life to the fullest, you've gotta get a front row seat at a 3D Porn House. In a related story, Cincinnati Vice is cracking down on purveyors of porn and pork-like products...er, hold it...wrong cart.

    Les, Herb and the whole gang (minus Jennifer...for some reason) wind up in the klink. Jailer "Mel" saves the day and the poor MTM Set People sleep for about three days after this one is done.

    Ready to join the madcap hilarity waiting for you in "Guntzelman World"? Push 'play'...oh, and put on your glasses. Not you, Bailey!

    S4E04 - "Rumors"

    S4E04 - "Rumors"

    WELCOME BACK!!
    Johnny's got lizards...big ones. The landlord is fumigating, so Johnny is out on the street! He appeals to the gang for a place to crash. Les says no because Johnny's messy. Herb just says 'no.' Andy and Venus both seem to be hosting exchange students.

    Bailey takes pity on our poor beleaguered morning man. She will give him a place to stay until the de-lizarding is finished.

    The rumor mill kicks into high gear immediately. Even Jennifer, Venus and Andy are whispering and snickering behind Bailey's back.

    Bailey decides to 'give 'em something to talk about.' Johnny just wants it to stop. If worrying about morning fill-in guy Rex isn't enough, now Johnny has to worry about Bailey's virtue.

    Hey...didja hear? Push 'play' and I'll give you all the sordid details...

    S4E02 - "An Explosive Affair - PT02"

    WELCOME BACK!!
    You made it back for Part 2! (a lot of people didn't in 1981). In case you need a refresher, we've got a Bomb threat!!

    Andy dispatched Venus and Johnny to the Transmitter Building in the middle of Part One. The guys are blowing off the dust and trying to keep some tunes on the WKRP Air. Things are...rough. The turntable doesn't want to play and the bookie doesn't want to talk. Wing, Johnny's Chinese Bookie and Restauranteur, put Johnny on hold just minutes before the biggest hunch bet of his life was at the post. 'Fever's Dream', an 80 to 1 long shot was screaming to Johnny for a bet. If only he can make it in time.

    When the horse came through...but the bookie didn't...Johnny takes his frustrations out on the phone. Three quick whacks with the big metal toolbox left Ma Bell's Magic Device in tiny shards of psychedelic spaghetti.

    At the end of last week's show, Andy realizes the bomb might be out at the transmitter instead of in the Flimm Building. But how do you contact the guys when the phone is in pieces on the floor? Call their cell?? Sorry, this is 1981.

    Put down that Toolbox and push "play"!! It's time for an EXPLOSIVE WKRP-Cast Conclusion!

    Enjoy Stuff: Hail to the Chief

    Enjoy Stuff: Hail to the Chief

    On this President's Day we celebrate Presidents, but just the fictional ones. Tune in as we look at some of the most memorable fake commanders-in-chief on Enjoy Stuff!

     

    Let’s revisit some legendary comic strips from over the years! Jovial Jay and Shua strip on this week’s Enjoy Stuff!

     

    News

    Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock is finally coming to Apple TV+

    Billy Joel is set to release the first new original song in 17 years

    Could someone take all of Dr. Johnny Fever’s WKRP DJ breaks and string them together? Someone did!

    Star Wars The Phantom Menace will return to theaters for its 25th anniversary!

    RIP to Carl Weathers and also the inventor of Pop Tarts

     

    Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends



    What we’re Enjoying

    Shua seems to think he has too much time on his hands because he decided to tackle the entire MCU in timeline order. It’s a big commitment, but after the first couple handful of movies, he is still enjoying it! Jay jumped into a slightly smaller commitment by watching Kevin Costner’s 1990 epic drama Dances With Wolves. Tune in to find out what Jay’s Sioux name is. 

     

    Sci-Fi Saturdays

    The last couple weeks have given us two different movies you’ll want to revisit on Sci-Fi Saturdays. S1m0ne has an interesting take on AI and how it could be used in Hollywood. But revisiting this 2002 movie in 2024 gives it a whole different meaning. Plus, Jay breaks down the final Star Trek: The Next Generation movie Star Trek: Nemesis. It may not have been the best Star Trek film, but there were some pretty fascinating performances in it. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua break down each episode of the entire MCU.  

     

    Enjoy Presidents! 

    As long as there have been movies, we have needed to have someone portray the United States Commander in Chief. A lot of times these leaders weren’t the ones we know from history. Instead, the actor or actress portraying them gets to come up with their own persona. So which ones stood out? What were some of our favorite fictional presidents that gave a good speech, or showed good leadership, or even kicked some butt and saved the day? 

     

    Which of our fictional presidents would you like to be your leader? Which ones would you make sure not to vote for? First person that emails me with the subject line, “My fellow Americans” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

    WELCOME BACK!!
    It's a busy day around the Mighty 'KRP!! Joyce Armor, the woman who used to have Jennifer's job, has returned, The usual round of complaints about Johnny have arrived, Venus and Johnny are gambling in the Control Room and oh, yeah...there's a bomb threat.

    Bomb threat? Excuse me!!

    Andy says its normal for a newly popular station to get these kinds of things. Everyone would figure it's a hoax if it weren't for John Davidson having his show blown up over on Channel 73 in Dayton. Just to be safe, let's call the Bomb Squad and see if they can bring over some bomb sniffing dogs (oh, sorry...didn't mean to bring up a sore subject).

    Venus and Johnny have been dispatched to the Transmitter Building, Art and Joyce have dispatched themselves to Emilio's and the rest of the gang has been dispatched to the sidewalk. Grab a Buckeye Newshawk Award on your way out.

    There's no way we could possibly wrap this one up in a single half hour! We see the dreaded "To Be Continued" at the end! What are Art and Joyce up to? What's in the Tool Box? And...is that Old Spice? Don't miss the START OF SEASON FOUR...push "play" for the WKRP-Cast!

    S3XTRA04 - INTERVIEW with Max Tash

    S3XTRA04 - INTERVIEW with Max Tash

    A SPECIAL INTERVIEW!! 
    Hey there, Fellow Babies! If you're a fan of WKRP at all (and if you're listening to this podcast, we're guessing you are) you've probably seen the name "Max Tash" in the credits. It's the first name listed over the nighttime city shots when the "Went to a Bartender" closing theme begins. Picturing it in your head? 

    Max was working for WKRP from before the beginning. He was an MTM "runner/gopher" on the production while casting was happening. He was production associate in the first season, Associate Producer in Seasons 2 and 3, then Coordinating Producer in the 4th Season. He was there for all 88 episodes...all the way through to "Up and Down the Dial." Only Hugh Wilson has his name in the credits of WKRP more times than Max Tash. Max was kept pretty busy with production duties, but during his tenure with WKRP, he did write a single episode. Max came up with the much-loved "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" episode featuring Dr. Bob Halyer (Hallier? Halyers?), the Jerry Falwell-like preacher who is ready to clean up Cincinnati radio.

    Max has been a friend of the podcast since our first few weeks. Via e-mail, he's supplied us with some great details as we've been working our way through the episodes. Max was happy to answer e-mail questions but, although we've asked a few times, Max has never agreed to speak with us for an interview.  When we told him we just HAD to have his comments about "CURE" he said, "oh, okay."

    So get ready fellow babies...Heeeeere's Max!  We talked to Max for more than an hour...and barely scratched the surface of the millions of stories he has tucked away. He is a wealth of knowledge about the show, about Hugh Wilson...about everything WKRP! We hope we can talk Max into another session with us at the end of the series. Either way, here is the incredible Max Tash, with information about "CURE", "The Famous Teddy Z", "Frank's Place", The Pussy Cat Theater (!) and a WHOLE lot more. 

    Hey Fellow Babies!! We talked to Gary Sandy. Don't miss our exclusive interview with Andy Travis now available from the WKRP-Cast. Wherever you get your podcasts.

    WELCOME BACK!!
    Dr. Bob Halyers (Halliers? Halyer?) has come to WKRP with one thing on his mind: cleaning up the airwaves!! Dr. Bob is the head of "Clean Up Radio Broadcasting" aka CURB.

    We get into the details about all things "CURB/CURE" with a VERY special Guest! WKRP Associate & Coordinating Producer MAX TASH joins us with his insight. You see, not only was Max doing his production duties on this one...he also WROTE it! Well, maybe not word-for-word...but it was his IDEA! (He'll tell you more about that in the podcast.)

    S3E20 - "Nothing to Fear But..."

    S3E20 - "Nothing to Fear But..."

    WELCOME BACK!!
    Johnny is filling in for Moss Steiger, the overnight guy. The Doctor is either hung over or dealing with a bad cold. Either way, he's wandering around the station with a towel over his head completely oblivious to the ROBBERY taking place in the station!

    The next day, the gang finds all the valuables are gone...the phones, Art's hobby equipment, even Les' typewriter! The only rational response is to install a burglar alarm...which The Big Guy does immediately!!

    Okay, so not IMMEDIATELY...but it'll be in by Friday. Which happens to be the same day as Herb's big shindig for Cincinnati Ad Agencies! He's gone all out...banquet room in the Flimm, catering, a coat check girl with legs to her shoulders...everything you need for the perfect Friday night.

    If you've been paying attention...or you know ANYTHING AT ALL about sitcoms...you know the burglar alarm and the party are going to combine for a hilarious evening. Or, possibly, an evening filled with John Donne quotes and firearms. With the crazy cats who show up at Herb's party, anything could happen!!

    Have you met Hilda? IMDb seems to have missed her, but she's very sweet. The olives spell out WKRP and there's a handgun pointed at Andy's head!! If we told you any more we might spoil the big surprise in Art's Office!! Intrigued? Frightened? Push "play" and hide under the covers...Les warned us this might happen.

    S3E19 - "A Simple Little Wedding"

    S3E19 - "A Simple Little Wedding"

    WELCOME BACK!!
    Imagine Mama Carlson is your mother. Now imagine having her help you plan your wedding. Carmen couldn't take it at first...all the way back in 1956. She and Arthur eloped just to get away from "the Boss." Carmen never had a "real" wedding ceremony.

    Twenty-five years later, Carmen's still not happy about spending time with Mama, but she and Art are planning a real ceremony to celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary. They visit Mama Carlson hoping for her blessing...and a "hands off" approach to helping. Also, as the title of the episode says, they want to keep it simple. Mama says she's mellowed over the years. If this is mellow, we'd rather not see her before the mellowing took place!! 

    Mama says she agrees to Art and Carmen's requests...in voice, maybe, but certainly not in spirit. Meanwhile, back at the station Herb has called a couple of strippers who he happens to have in his Rolodex.

    We meet a new recurring character and he is a HOOT! This is our first interaction with "Hirsch", Mama's long-suffering butler. Talk about a love-hate relationship...with a heavy emphasis on the "hate".

    So, are you Bride's side or Groom's side? Is Senator Taft here?? Uh, no...I think he's dead. Maybe I could get you a Silver Bullet Cocktail...shaken, not stirred? We don't want to disrupt the nuptials, which is why, before the strippers get here, you need to push "play". We'll enjoy something old, something new, something seedy...and vibrating, too!!

    S3E18 - "Out to Lunch"

    S3E18 - "Out to Lunch"

    RIP-Howard Hesseman: We didn't have a chance to add anything to the episode, but we did want to take a moment to mention the passing of Howard "Dr. Johnny Fever" Hesseman on Jan. 29th of 2022. He was 81 years old.

    WELCOME BACK!!
    Everyone knows the wheels of commerce are greased by a steady flow of cocktails. At least, if you're Herb Tarlek, it's how things work. Herb has been on a sales binge for nearly a month now...which means he's also been on a drinking binge.

    We've got Herb quoting Rip Tide and hiding big bottles of expensive looking bourbon in his bottom desk drawer. Okay, so it's an expensive looking bottle. The bourbon...not so much.  Herb has been downgrading the brew with some cheap stuff and a funnel. His clients don't seem to mind.

    Herb may or may not have a problem. Okay...yeah...he's got a problem. Without lecturing, Art gives Herb a pretty effective lecture. Herb realizes things may not be as "okey-fine" as he thinks. He decides to try to correct his course before it's all gotten completely out of hand.

    Like any good After School Special, we learn the big lesson in the third act. Then everyone goes home happy and better off than they were before the whole thing started. Well, Craig T. Nelson might not be better off...but we won't have to worry about him next week! You look a little green. Would you just hit "play" before you pass out, already?? Cheers!!

    S3E17 - "Secrets of Dayton Heights"

    WELCOME BACK!!
    If you're Les Nessman, you know how important it is to stay vigilant. Commies are everywhere!! Pinkos, and other ne'er-do-wells who would undo our great democracy must be vigilantly repelled...even if one of them happens to be your own father!

    This is an amazing story to take on in a single half hour of television. They threw in a lot of jokes...we've got a hilariously slapstick "B"-story involving Venus, Johnny and a studio project. We've got Jennifer preparing for Paris in the Springtime with a riotously off-kilter collection of travel phrases. You've never seen these in High School French Class!

    Then, as you're laughing along at these great running gags, you suddenly realize you've been hit right in the heart with a gut-wrenching performance from an on-fire Richard Sanders. Or maybe it's ANOTHER gut-wrenching performance of some note courtesy of the guy who's playing Les' dad...Les' real dad...not Lester Nessman, Sr.

    Get ready for an under-appreciated gem in the WKRP episode bag. Oh, did we mention...we've got SAM ANDERSON??!! How could this get any better? What are you waiting for??!! Push 'play' for a major Red Scare.

    WELCOME BACK!!
    Somebody needs to save The Flimm!! The owners of the landmark Osgood R. Flimm building, located in downtown Cincinnati, have decided it's time for an upgrade. The 50 year old Art-Deco structure is scheduled for demolition...according to the Registered Letter Art got in today's mail.

    The gang is outraged...livid...but, hey, we're talking Real Estate Mega-bucks, so what're ya gonna do??

    Bailey decides she's not going to take this lying down...or sitting still or standing by...she's a bit drunk. Her directions are a bit confused.

    The Campaign to Save the Flimm is ON! WKRP is the nerve center. Bailey is in charge while Jennifer is supporting the effort with her heretofore unknown typing skills!! The lady can TYPE! (just not for Herb!!)

    Will the Flimm be saved? Will Bailey pass out after her next Old Fashioned?? Will Art finally concentrate and finish an editorial?? These and more questions will be answered when you hit "play" on this edition of The WKRP-Cast!!

    S3E15 - "Ask Jennifer"

    WELCOME BACK!!
    Herb had a good idea (no, seriously...he did!!!) He suggested a call-in advice show. They're sweeping the nation! His buddy in St. Louis had all kinds of great stories about great ratings, winning timeslots...how could they NOT??

    Finding the right host proves to be a challenge. Depending on how you count it up, it took them either five and a half months or a full year to find the perfect advice lady...her name is Arlene. Once they've found her, it only takes a day or two for "Ask Arlene" to be up and running on the station.

    The day of the big launch, Arlene has a bit of a mishap involving three Valium. Jennifer steps up as "Arlene" to answer caller questions. Wow, Ms. Marlowe is GOOD at this!! She winds up taking calls for...oh, who really knows how long? It's a while, we know that. Everything is fun and games until one of Jennifer's bits of advice may have gotten someone hurt.

    It's a fun show with a big message. Curl up with the phone and give us a call...we'd be glad to tell you what to do!! First thing you should do right now: push "play"!!

    WELCOME BACK!!

    The Ripper Returns!! Well...not 'returns' really. He never left...it was a full hour. He's still Rippin' right along. We're the ones who had to go away!! WE'RE back (and a Happy New Year to ya!) and ready to catch you up on the exploits of Cincinnati's hottest new TV host with the most.

    So, when we left you last time, things were pretty rosy for the good Doctor. His "Rip Tide" persona saved his contract breaching butt just before airtime. Now, he's having a blast letting his ID run wild in the form of his alter-ego, sleazeball creation.

    How far will Rip go? How far will Johnny LET him go? Can Johnny even control this rampaging spandex menace? Find out as we take on "Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide - PART 2"!!

    Got your skates laced up? Spandex on? It sounds like you Gotta Dance!!!...er, I mean you Gotta Push PLAY!!

    S3E13 - "Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide PT01"

    WELCOME BACK!!

    Johnny needs money...so what else is new? Big difference today, Johnny's picked up a side gig! He's been tapped to host a new Teen Dance show in the Cincinnati market!! (Hold on...Johnny FEVER? Dance Party?) Yeah, this one looked questionable from the start!!

    Johnny may have been persuaded by the pretty face hiding a shark of a producer named Avis. Avis lured Johnny in with too much Champagne and too few clothes. He signed a fairly ironclad contract. It wasn't until WAY too late he discovered this whole "dance" scene had nothing to do with Rock-n-Roll. It was all about the hated DISCO!! 

    Johnny's back is to the wall. If he doesn't get his sequined booty on the "Gotta Dance" stage he will be sued back to the Stone Age. Have no fear, the Ripper is here!! Johnny creates an "alter-ego" he calls "Rip Tide." Rip saves the day and becomes a HIT in Cincinnati. The kids can't get enough of the sad-eyed, middle-aged man in the clown suit who plays the disco hits!!

    The original DF&MT was a full hour the night it premiered. It was broken into two half hours for syndication. In the interest of our sanity, and to keep you from slogging through a two-hour podcast, we're breaking it down, too. This is PART ONE! Got your skates laced up? Spandex on? It sounds like you Gotta Dance!!!...er, I mean you Gotta Push PLAY!!

    S3E12 - "Venus and the Man"

    WELCOME BACK!!

    We meet WKRP's cleaning lady, Cora...and she's got a problem. Her "little boy" Arnold just isn't all that into school. He's 16 and finding more success on the streets than in the classroom. Cora has turned to Venus Flytrap for his advice and help. Could he maybe have a talk with young Arnold?

    Young Arnold turns out to be a middle-aged man...but we'll have to overlook that for the story. He's just as big, tricky and mean as his mama said. He also does NOT understand chemistry. Venus bets Arnold he can get Arnold to understand the atom in two minutes.

    What happens next is one of the most amazing chemistry lessons ever aired on a sitcom. It won a Humanitas Award for script writer Hugh Wilson. It's also a pretty darn good piece of visual learning and metaphor.

    Push "play" and join us in the storeroom as Professor Venus takes center stage. We're about to learn all about the atom and, if there's time...we'll do a little something on magnets.

    WELCOME BACK!!

    There's been an accident at the Tarlek home!! The kids are fine...so's Lucille. No, the victim of this tragedy is Greenpeace. Not ringing a bell? Greenpeace is the name of Bunny's pet frog. She's become something of an environmentalist at the tender age of 9. Greenpeace got in the way of Herb's cabinet painting and wound up...pink.

    There's no 911 for Frogs! The vet won't even make a house call. Herb decides to bring his sad little shoe box with the holes cut in the top into work hoping for...something. Can one of the gang help Herb with some magical frog resuscitation? Not likely, but we're game to watch them give it a try!

    Greenpeace gets doused with coffee water, prodded by a podiatrist and ultimately expires on Herb's desk. When the day is done, and Herb is forced to confront a concerned Bunny...well, you'll have to push 'play' and see which way this thing is going to hop!

    S3E10 - "Daydreams"

    WELCOME BACK!!

    Art's been tapped by the Ohio Broadcaster's Association to give a speech at a dinner. He's got his 3 by 5 cards and he's done his research...but he's scared to DEATH about speaking to these guys. As Art says, "they can be a mean bunch." The speech is tonight, but Art is trying to back out. Andy, with a little help from Jennifer, convinces the Big Guy to give his speech in front of the troops to bolster his confidence.

    It's a pretty boring speech. Sorry, Art...but, wow! Snoozerino! As Art drones on, the gang is lost in their own thoughts. We are able...through the magic of TV, and the incredibly hard work of a talented team of set, lighting and design people...to peer into everyone's thoughts and Daydreams!!

    Herb is running his own country...well, so's Bailey for that matter...and Les is reporting from war-torn London. Venus is doing standup and Johnny is a whacked out rockstar (more whacked out than usual). The whole gang gets a chance to live their fantasies. Too bad Andy's doesn't go any further than the programming office.

    Wake up! You really should pay attention. Splash your face with a little cold water, then push "play."

    S3E09 - "The Painting"

    S3E09 - "The Painting"

    WELCOME BACK!!

    Sunday night was the big Charity Auction at Art Carlson's church. On Monday morning we find that only Bailey and Herb were in attendance. ONLY Herb bought anything...a painting. Herb didn't buy it because he likes it. He was just looking for some kudos from the Big Guy. Now Herb is out a hundred bucks, he's got a painting he doesn't like and his best buddy Les, who was supposed to split it with him, got called away to Dayton!

    What's a salesman to do? How about sell the painting?? He sells it to EVERYBODY! Bailey, who loved it on Sunday but didn't buy, decides she has to have it. Wait a minute...it might actually be valuable!! Should Herb sell? Hold onto it? The pressure is making him wheeze.

    Grab a calculator, Fellow Babies...you're gonna need it. By the time this one's all over you'll probably be out forty bucks yourself. Push 'play'...then put your hand on your billfold.

They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs.
