WELCOME BACK!!
Herb had a good idea (no, seriously...he did!!!) He suggested a call-in advice show. They're sweeping the nation! His buddy in St. Louis had all kinds of great stories about great ratings, winning timeslots...how could they NOT??
Finding the right host proves to be a challenge. Depending on how you count it up, it took them either five and a half months or a full year to find the perfect advice lady...her name is Arlene. Once they've found her, it only takes a day or two for "Ask Arlene" to be up and running on the station.
The day of the big launch, Arlene has a bit of a mishap involving three Valium. Jennifer steps up as "Arlene" to answer caller questions. Wow, Ms. Marlowe is GOOD at this!! She winds up taking calls for...oh, who really knows how long? It's a while, we know that. Everything is fun and games until one of Jennifer's bits of advice may have gotten someone hurt.
It's a fun show with a big message. Curl up with the phone and give us a call...we'd be glad to tell you what to do!! First thing you should do right now: push "play"!!
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.]
