There are commentaries by the writer/director and some of the actors (Loni Anderson/"Jennifer" and Frank Bonner/ "Herb."). Its still funny!

I have also been watching WKRP on Sundays. I believe it is RTV that airs like 6-8 episodes in a row every Sunday. So good, hard to believe it was cut short. I am pretty sure they tried a remake at one point with video vixen Tawny Kitaine(spelling?).
The call signs of the other stations are hilarious, WTNA & WPIG.
Also I remember as a kid being infatuated with Loni but now I find Bailey(Jan Smithers?) more attractive.

Another weird thing is in the opening credits it only shows the programing manager and the boss/owner(Gordon Jump). The other actors do not get credit until the end of the episode.


@Agent Minivan: Love me some Beast Wars. DinoBot Rules!
I got my nephew the series on DVD and he watches all the time, my sister must hate me.
I agree it is cheesy sometimes but the writing is actually extremely good. The characters are developed and so many have their own agendas that it makes for interesting sub-plots. When they eventually tie it in to the original series it is the icing on the cake.
The Fire-Ant Predacon is also awesome "For the royalty".
