"WKRP in Cincinnati" At A Glance
"WKRP in Cincinnati" (1978-1982) is an American situation comedy that featured the misadventures of the staff of a struggling radio station in Cincinnati, OH. The show was created by Hugh Wilson and was based upon his experiences working in advertising as a client of Atlanta, GA, classic AOR radio station 94.1 WQXI-FM, now known as pop station Star94. The ensemble cast consisted of Gary Sandy, Howard Hesseman, Gordon Jump, Loni Anderson, Tim Reid, Jan Smithers, Richard Sanders and Frank Bonner.As was typical of most MTM productions, the humor came more from running gags based on the known predilections and quirks of each character, rather than from outlandish plots or racy situations. The characters also developed somewhat over the course of the series.
The series won a Humanitas Prize and received 10 Emmy Award nominations, including three for Outstanding Comedy Series. It also won an Emmy Award for Videotape Editing in Season 3 (by Andy Ackerman, who would go on to direct Seinfeld).
WKRP premiered September 18, 1978 on the CBS television network and aired for four seasons and 90 episodes through September 20, 1982. During the third and fourth seasons, CBS repeatedly moved the show around its schedule, contributing to its eventual cancellation.
When WKRP went into syndication, it became an unexpected blockbuster. For the next decade, it was one of the most popular sitcoms in syndication, outperforming many much bigger prime time hits, including all the other MTM sitcoms.

- Talk about a walk down memory lane. It's too bad they don't make good comedy like this anymore. Great work.

- Your lens really brought back a lot of funny memories. I used to watch it all the time when I was growing up. I even had a chance to work with Howard Hessman once when I was a young actor.
