S2E18 - "Les' Groupie"
July 11, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 41.6 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! Sometimes you can't tell the heartbreakers. We know Les Nessman is a hard-driving newsman who's only in it for the story. He never tracked down a lead because he thought it might impress the ladies. His dedication to his work has impressed at least one lady. Her name is Darlene, and she has a crushing crush on our favorite intrepid reporter. Be careful Les, Darlene has the crazy eyes! She's ready to move in after their first date! Within a week,...

July 04, 2023 06:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! Detente with the Soviets means fact-finding missions and endless attempts at 'unity.' One of those many attempts has landed in the Queen City...Porkopolis...in the form of a Russian Hog Delegation. If beepers had been invented, Les' would be going off. Les storms the press conference with a vengeance. Bailey is his true secret weapon and he doesn't even realize it. The primary speaker for the delegation is smitten by the lovely Miss Quarters. He s...

S2E15 - "Herb's Dad"
June 20, 2023 06:00 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! There has to be a reason for Herb. Sure, Johnny is leaning towards some kind of failed government experiment, but the real answer can probably be found in his parenting. If only we could meet one of Herb's parents... Herb's Dad is waiting in the lobby and it's none other than BERT PARKS!! This is HUGE, Jennie-Poo! We've got the lowdown on how Bert happened to be on WKRP right in the midst of his "Miss America" firing scandal. Plus, we take a look...

He decides to enlist the help of one of the smoothest and coolest ladies' men you'll find anywhere in the Greater Cincinnati area...Dr. John Fever. Ho...
S2E13 - "God Talks to Johnny"
June 06, 2023 06:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! Johnny is tossing and turning. Is that someone outside? What time is it? He opens the door to...nothing. Then, there's a voice! We don't hear it, but Johnny certainly does. This voice tells him some stuff...but some stuff is garbled. Was it God? Was it a dream? How could he know? Maybe he should bug everyone at the station with questions about their religious beliefs!! Today that seems like a great way to get sued. In 1979, it made for a pleasant...
S2E12 - "Sparky"
May 30, 2023 06:00 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! The Sports Voice of the Ohio Valley is...WKRP?

Syndication! Huge profits and the unending accolades of mama...er, at least that's how Art sees it. Sparky is a great guy...but not a great talk show host. It takes Art a few days to realize, but he even...
S2E11 - "Jennifer's Home for Christmas"
May 23, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! Merry Christmas!! Stop looking at the calendar...it's Christmas in KRP-Land and that's all that matters. Remember how weirdly disorienting it was to come across a Christmas episode of a show in syndication?? It didn't matter if it was the middle of July...for half an hour, you got a little of the warmth of Christmas, no matter what time of year. This Christmas, the whole gang seems a bit edgy. Relatives are in town, travel plans aren't coming toge...
S2E10 - "Bailey's Big Break"
May 16, 2023 06:00 - 50 minutes - 35 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! The entire news department at WKRP consists of a single man: Les Nessman. Truly, he is a paragon among men, a news stalwart who lets nothing deter him from delivering ten brilliant casts a day. Andy thinks it's time to shake things up a bit in the news area...against Les' wishes, and better judgement. They're reviewing audition tapes when a familiar voice comes through the speakers. Bailey Quarters has slipped her own entry into the stack, and An...
S2E09 - "Baby, If You've Ever Wondered"
May 09, 2023 06:00 - 53 minutes - 37 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! Something big has arrived in the mail at WKRP...and it's not Art's new Model Ships Catalog. The 'BOOK' has arrived. It's the ratings book...and, we discover, the very FIRST book since Andy's been aboard. Hold on...he's only been there six months?? Seems like a year or more, doesn't it? The Mighty 'KRP is UP in the ratings...first time in seven years according to AC. He's ready to break out the Champagne! Andy isn't quite as jazzed with the new nu...

He's going bonefishing and his lovely wife Carmen is coming along! Carmen shows up at the station with a little bit of a crimp in the plans. Turns out, she's pregnant. It might have been the Kiwanis Dance, but all signs are pointing towards Superman as the culprit. Mama shows up and things get a bit heavy when she lays out what she sees as Art's course of action. Art's in a daze, Venus hasn't talk...
S2E07 - "Mike Fright" (w/Christian Seaborn)
April 25, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! When you're on one of the lowest rated stations in town, it's easy to convince yourself nobody's listening. Johnny's eyes are opened when an off-hand comment about tossing some trash on the city hall steps blows up in everyone's face. How bad is it? Art has summoned the station attorney, Elgar Neece. Elgar is a 4'11" fireball played by Christian Seaborn and...hold onto your microphones fellow babies...we're talking to him!! Elgar...er, we mean Ch...

April 18, 2023 06:00 - 45 minutes - 31.6 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! It's a natural progression for many business executives: once you've conquered the business world, it's time to conquer the world of politics. Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson of WKRP Radio in Cincinnati is one such business executive. Art's been bitten by the political bug! He's ready to steer Cincinnati in the right direction as an esteemed member of the Queen City's Council. Current incumbent Charles "Chuck" Tillman isn't delivering the goods in Art's ...
S2E05 - "Jennifer Falls in Love"
April 11, 2023 06:00 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! Jennifer is gorgeous, cool, aloof, in control and well-to-do. Who could possibly rock her world? His name is "Steel" and, to hear her tell it, he's every girl's dream. It's not until we meet Mr. Night Maintenance we discover he might be lacking in the depth department. Steel definitely has the teeth, the hair and the, uh...derriere...to drive the ladies wild, but the pretty package is very empty. Vapid and self-centered are acceptable to Jenni...

April 04, 2023 06:00 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! You're probably asking yourself "am I planning for every eventuality?" What's that? You're NOT? You really should be talking to Herbert R. Tarlek, Esquire. Mr. Tarlek is now representing one of the most prestigious Insurance Companies in North America. You've never heard of them, but they 've been featured on "60 Minutes" TWICE! 'The Monster Who Sold Life Insurance' has run amok in the halls of the Mighty KRP! Fellow employees are fish in a bar...
S2E03 - "Baseball"
March 28, 2023 06:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! What's a Sports Director to do? Les was challenged by WPIG, the Number One Station in the market, to a Softball game. The problem is, they're good...beat the Baptists, good. No way Les can back out now. He shook on it! He ALSO bet $200, which might carry more weight than the handshake. Jennifer says she'll play. Once the guys hear she plans to play in her new red short-shorts, suddenly Les has a team. The PIG's good, Station Manager Callahan is a...

S1E21 - "Fish Story"
February 28, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 46.2 MBSend a note to Allen & Donna… WELCOME BACK! You know how some guys are funny when they're mad?? Hugh Wilson must be one of those guys. CBS was all over him during the first season of WKRP to write more "visual gags." Over on ABC, "Laverne & Shirley" was a hit doing a lot of slapstick. Hugh resisted...he fought it...he thought it was lowbrow. He said WKRP is smarter than that!! The Mighty KRP talks about the Archduke Ferdinand and being obtuse!! Hugh gave in. THIS is the result!!

Herb's got a personal appearance lined up for Johnny and Venus at a local used car lot. Les is snapping some pix for the paper. Venus is NOT amused! Threats of violence against...Les? It's a pretty heavy scene, man...and we discover Venus might have a few skeletons in his well stocked closet. Andy tries to get to the bottom of it. Art REALLY tries to get to the bottom...
