Thank you for honest reviewsThis is one of my all time favorite shows, I am deeply disappointed that it is not completely original. It does not hold the quality or value in its current offering..Score: 1/5
Music is GoneI will NEVER buy these mutilated episodes. Without the original music, you're being cheated..Score: 1/5
WKRPI have a fever for WKRP and wanted to buy the series. Having found out that the purchase would be editied missing both video and music is a joke. I'll go to the store and buy the DVD's instead..Score: 1/5
To all those moaning about the music being gone...They had no choice. In many cases, they couldn't get the clearances any more for the music, or it would have been prohibitively expensive. So would you rather have a slightly altered WKRP or none at all?.Score: 5/5
Greatest show ever, but...OK, having these on my iPod is great, and I also bought the DVD's last spring. Admittedly, this is my favorite show of all time. It appears that many others feel the same way based on the reviews here. But I take serious issue with the versions featured digitally, and think all of you who write "hey, it's not about the music" are missing a few key points. Many of the songs used originally were integral to scenes. ("Hot Blooded" in "A Date With Jennifer" comes to mind, and "Dogs" by Pink Floyd in "Turkeys Away" does too.) In some cases, entire scenes have been cut from this release where music can't be replaced! Even worse, some dialogue has been re-dubbed by different actors. This is a travesty of the highest order, and shows how little regard anyone at FOX has for the original show. Imagine "Goodfellas" with stock, schlocky music. It'd change the movie, wouldn't it? What if they re-dubbed "A Hard Days's Night" with non-Beatles music? What happens to future seasons? I recall music playing throughout the "Bomb Threat" 2-parter when Johnny & Venus are at the transmitter. Do they pay for that music, or cut the scenes? Or the episode where Carlson reads most of John Lennon's lyrics to "Imagine" for a censor-crazy Pastor? Can they use those? Look, I want to make this clear: I give the show 5 stars, more if I could. But what we're seeing here, with FOX cutting music, scenes, and re-dubbing lines, sets a dangerous example of how a company can somehow erase a show's history. For WKRP to live on and be recognized by future generations as brilliant, it needs to be the the original WKRP. Not these brutally sliced and diced versions. This is an insult to Hugh Wilson (who, allegedly approved these!), and the cast & creators of this great show. A travesty..Score: 1/5
Wonderfully funny episodeThis episode (Turkeys Away) absolutely must rank high as one one of the funniest of all sitcoms. 'So many great lines. I have had those lines in my head for years (using them whenever possible). I was so happy to see this particular episode on iTunes! After laughing out loud at several parts, I found myself 100% happy with the purchase. I'll likely be adding some "Welcome Back Kotter", "Bob Newhart", and others. (If only there were some "Odd Couple" episodes.) Good, good stuff! 'Takes you right back..Score: 5/5
Incomplete seriesI recommend to anyone who is new or old to iTunes! Do not purchase any TV seasons or movies without checking to make sure the entire series is there. iTunes seems to have a good habit of not completing TV series it’s a waste of money!.Score: 5/5
Too Bad About The MusicI just was listening to an interview with Tim Reid and Tom Dreesen and WKRP was mentioned. Tim mentioned what a shame it was that the show had to be re-edited with fake music because of royalties and licensing fees. That's too bad. I would have purchased the whole season if it was the actual show rather than an interpretation of it. I can relate with many of the posts here. It was a fantastic show and AOR radio was real back then. As a teenager in the '70s in Richmond Va., there was a show on late Saturday nights called "Mellow Madness". The DJ's name was "Ty" and he was very much like Venus Fly Trap. Well, at least talking about the show brings back fond memories. Too bad I won't see it. Anyone know where there are original versions of WKRP to be found?.Score: 1/5

Classic show, but missing the classic rockThis release of one of the funniest sitcoms of all time is let down by the fact that they couldn't get the rights to the classic rock tunes used in each episode when the show first aired. Those classic tunes were integral to the shows comedy and timing and unfortunately the generic music that has replaced them just doesn't cut it..Score: 3/5
WKRP in Cincinnati: "Commercial Break"I was very disappointed with the quality of the video; not remastered at all as one would've expected. Addtionally, there are portions of the original episode which have been edited. I remember wll the original series well, and was quite annoyed to see that the episode I purchased was not provided in its entirety..Score: 1/5

A travesty to a great sitcomThis show was about raw rock & roll. Music was central to making this a brilliant sitcom. The music industry wanted to renegotiate their contract for digital rights and thus greed destroys a classic. The great cast still shines but what's the point when generic alt rock is playing in the background? I only bought the pilot (thank god) but I do wonder what they will do for the John Lennon Imagine episode. This is worse than Lucas inserting crappy digital dinosaurs into star wars claiming he wanted them there originally! Please please redo with original music. Screw the greed and come to an agreement to restore the original wonderful, if dated, classic I love..Score: 1/5
