WELCOME BACK!
We've only ever known Venus as...Venus. Surely that's not his given name, right? Herb's got a personal appearance lined up for Johnny and Venus at a local used car lot. Les is snapping some pix for the paper. Venus is NOT amused! Threats of violence against...Les? It's a pretty heavy scene, man...and we discover Venus might have a few skeletons in his well stocked closet. Andy tries to get to the bottom of it. Art REALLY tries to get to the bottom of it. Ultimately, we wind up with one of the most intense, thought provoking and dramatic half hours of sitcom television you're ever likely to lay eyes on. BIG BONUS: episode Writer Tom Chehak joins us with insight and stories from the set. This script was an important one for Tom...and it turned out to be historic for CBS. It also caused a LOT of problems! Politics, powerplays, intense drama...and that's all the stuff happening backstage! Strap in, fellow babies...we're going for a ride with a gentleman named Gordon Sims. Gordon has seen some stuff and he needs to share. We hope you can handle it. Push 'play' and hang on. 

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.]
