This Thanksgiving, I am really grateful to be able to experience old episodes of WKRP. I loved WKRP. Bring back WKRP, with a new cast. Surely there are some young comedic actors as good as the old ones.
A few episodes of the new WKRP may be just the ticket for snapping true believers of the Russia collusion scam out of the psychotic daze they are in. We desperately need to find some cure for what ails them.
And while we are at it, lets bring back “Married With Children”. A weekly dose of cynicism and icon puncturing is just what the country needs.
The fat guy who does the great imitation of the Thanksgiving Turduckeon guy would make a great Al Bundy. This time, have the Bundys living in a rusted out 76 Oldsmobile Station Wagon in the middle of a homeless encampment. Be a good reflection of current life in America.
You want to bring back WKRP with new actors? Are you nuts!!!
The original WKRP had actors that resembled the viewers. Most of the actors were men in the 30, 40s, or 50s, just like in business. The show had two woman. One was a big boob secretary and another was a young woman trying to get ahead in a man’s world. Sounds like the 70s to me.
Now imagine WKRP in 2019. All the actors would be in their 20s. The secretary would be a gay guy. The boss, Carlson would be a hard-edged black woman. The DJs would be hip alphabet people representing every sexual combination imaginable and some that I can’t imagine. The only character that would not change would be Herb, the marketing manager. He would still be played by a dumb as a rock old white guy.
I think we should bury those ideas of bringing back WKRP or any old shows, unless you want to destroy your good memories of what TV used to be like. Although I do like the concept of Married with Children in a homeless camp.

As God is my witness, I thought Guatemalans could fly.
Not to piss on your parade but since you mention it, the caravans might have been a reconnaissance exercise to bring the transit routes into the light.

Undeniably the best scene in the best show ever on TV.
I miss that show.

LOL! Reminds me of the 1986 Topps baseball cards.
Currently visiting best friends in Huntsville, AL and we will watch that episode sometime today…..we have the DVD!
I really miss television when it was pure entertainment rather than the activist agenda projection horse sh*t that is it now…….
When I worked in the Radio industry, I once worked for a guy who swore he knew a station owner who actually did this promotion!
