Are there any other old timers here like myself who learned about protons, neutrons and electrons from Venus Flytrap on WKRP in Cincinnati? Though not as well known as the ‘god as my witness i thought turkeys could fly’ ep, this clip was part of one of the most quality episodes of 70s/80s tv IMO

And the closing song is all gibberish.

quote:

The closing theme, "WKRP In Cincinnati End Credits", was a hard rock number composed and performed by Jim Ellis, an Atlanta musician who recorded some of the incidental music for the show. According to people who attended the recording sessions, Ellis didn't yet have lyrics for the closing theme, so he sang nonsense words to give an idea of how it would sound. Wilson decided to use the words anyway, since he felt that it would be funny to use lyrics that were deliberately gibberish, as a satire on the incomprehensibility of many rock songs. Also, because CBS always had an announcer talking over the closing credits, Wilson knew that no one would actually hear the closing theme lyrics anyway.

Another good one was the episode that dealt with the aftermath of the The Who concert that, in real life, killed several people in the crush at the old Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati … i remember that a lot of places made general admission seating illegal after that .

I'm a scientist by training and that was awesome...

I was just a few years to young for WKRP.
