Featured review
WKRP in Cincinatti was a great show with a stellar cast including Gordon Jump who played the station's owner. Gary Sandy who played one of the disc jockeys. Of course, the unforgettable Howard Hesseman as another disc jockey. The guy who played Les Nessman was also memorable as the news guy. Frank Bonner who played sleazy Herb as the advertising salesman and of course the ladies played by Loni Anderson and I forget the other girl's name but she was good too. Anyway, the show was well-written, acted, and performed that it left a timeless impression on us. Of course, Tim Reid was also excellent as well. The show had a first rate cast which worked very well together comically and produced some of the finest moments on television.
