I have it very high - if you can find it with the original music. The big tragedy of the show and the reason that most people cannot fully enjoy it today is that the music was licensed for a limited time/# of runs or whatever. The current DVD package, at least that I'm aware of, does not have much of the original music and the editing required to fix it has damaged the integrity of these packages.

I think this shows how stupid and harmful a lot of our copyright/publishing laws can be. I understand the artist wanting to get paid, but at the same time it seems to me like free publicity. Especially with an old show like WKRP where the music is all over 30 years old. Bound to get some new sales from people that hear a sing maybe they forgot about or someone that never heard it before.
