HOLIDAY RE-RELEASE!
(We're re-running this classic on November 22nd, 2023...the 45th anniversary of the "first" WKRP Turkey Drop. As God is our witness, here's to the start of a wonderful Holiday Season!! Enjoy!!)

Hey!! It's Allen and Donna Stare! It's time for another episode of the "WKRP-Cast"...and this one's a doozy! It's "Turkeys Away", the most popular and most famous episode of WKRP ever conceived!! Who thought of it? Who wrote it? Is it true? Were any turkeys harmed in the making of this episode?? These questions and more will be answered this time as we tackle the 800lb. Turkey of sitcom episodes. The WKRP-Cast is on the air...grab your brains, fellow babies, this one is going to whack you upside the head like a sack of wet cement!!
YOU KNOW YOU MAKE US WANNA...
This is proving to be a lot of fun. After the ep, we'll be doing some shout outs to friends and listeners. You can completely skip it if you want...you won't miss any episode goodies...but, then again, you never know if we're going to be talking about you!!
WATCH ALONG DETAILS...
[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. 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. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]
