“WKRP in Cincinnati” is coming to DVD.
The show – a cast photo from which can be seen above, thanks to the Wikipedia entry on the series – is arguably one of the funniest sitcoms of all time. It had highs and lows like any comedy, but the highs were just so damned high that its greatness cannot be denied. The demand for the series has been so tremendous that, despite one Fox official publicly declaring that it would “never” make it onto DVD (and despite my saying “don’t hold your breath” on it happening), the studio nonetheless proceeded to bring in a music supervisor to assist with replacing any music that would be cost-prohibitive to include. The show’s creator, Hugh Wilson, is reportedly happy with the necessary substitutions, so the current timetable is for the release of the first season in April 2007.
If you can’t wait that long, however, just go here and watch this clip over and over and over ’til then.
