WELCOME BACK!!
It's time to organize, it's time to unionize, it's time to "look for...that union label...".
WKRP has had another bit of a ratings surge. The lack of commercials following Dr. Bob's Boycott seems to have attracted listeners. The Mighty KRP is now ranked 10th among all Cincinnati Radio Stations. Art's ready to celebrate with a few raises!
While Art's looking for someplace cheap but elegant to hold a company dinner, the rest of the gang is sneaking around whispering about unions. They held a meeting over at WPIG...at least that's what Johnny heard.
Herb takes word to the Big Guy: the troops are looking to organize. Once Art hears this, the battle is on! The Big Guy doesn't want a union...but how will he stop it? He decides to consult a higher power...Mama.
Will the hob-nailed boot of management be lifted from the necks of KRPs toiling employees? Not if Mama C. has anything to say about it! She's ready to sell the station tomorrow if it goes Union today. Well, maybe...then again, maybe not. Would you want to cross Mama?
We need a secret handshake before you're allowed in the meeting. Oh, you've got roses? Sure, come on in! Push 'play' and look up for a message from our sponsor.
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.]
