Show Notes

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!

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.]
