I have to say I agree that the script is a little "off" for WKRP, but it's still far less preachy than the QUINCY take...if not as funny. Few things on TV can compare with the sight of Jack Klugman trashing the local head shop with his bare hands. :)Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291930694234773688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-60123266391195356572009-06-30T18:33:29.698-04:002009-06-30T18:33:29.698-04:00I do like the line about Carlson enjoying working ...I do like the line about Carlson enjoying working with women.
