It's Alive! On TNN...every weekday! Let Cincinnati rock again!

When this series first came out way back when, it reminded me of my short FM radio stint in college. (KTUH FM back in those days was heard only in Manoa valley, and beamed among the student dormitories. The tales I could tell...but that's another story.) "WKRP" sounded, looked, and felt like the real article, from Censorship to Concert Violence, to Rock Star Excess. But it was about the radio family that saw each other through falling Turkeys, "Golfing with God," boredom & daydreams, terror, and "canned radio of 'Christmas Future." I saw "Picket Fences" listed in the TNN lineup, then discovered "The Carp" near the top of TNN Pop's weekday broadcast lineup. Pastures of Plenty!, two shots of Johnny Fever each day? (I'll never make it to the weekend at this rate. But that's all right my momma!)

score 9/10
