This is barely worth posting about, but it made me laugh.
I was doing a search to see if any other reviewers had commented on the fact that the “WKRP in Cincinnati: The Complete First Season” box set contains two featurettes, neither of which are among the three featurettes that had been trumpeted in the press release for the set, and I found this blog – http://wkrp.blogspot.com – that’s dedicated to the show.
Here are the first two sentences from the most recent entry:
“How time flies. The first season DVD set was released two days ago, and I completely forgot about it.”
Yep. That’s dedication for you.
Be sure to check out some of the other entries as well, many of which focus specifically on actress Jan Smithers and her character on the show, Bailey Quarters. Now, I admit, I’ve rarely been in a discussion about “WKRP” where I didn’t mention that I preferred Bailey to Jennifer (Marlowe, Loni Anderson’s character), but, still, dig this comment:
I had a debate with some guys recently about who was more desirable–Bailey from “WKRP” or Kaylee from “Firefly.” This is a tough call, but I still vote for Bailey.
I find myself mostly just fascinated about how that particular debate began, who was involved, and, perhaps most importantly, what stages it went through before reaching the pinnacle where the participants said, “Okay, so we’ve narrowed it down to two: Bailey Quarters from ‘WKRP’ and that chick who was the engineer on ‘Firefly.'”
