Review Me

May 2, 2007 at 3:49 pm · Filed under Reviews, Sitcoms, WKRP, YouTube

Well, sometimes you jump on a fishing boat and throw out a line with no intention of catching a fish, only a nap. And sometimes, while you’re sleeping, you catch a whopper.

Today is such a day. Out of the blue I received an email from a marketing company for the new WKRP in Cincinnati DVD set that has just come out. Apparently, because of my interest in NewsRadio, they thought I might be interested in this show, and possibly blog my review of their product. Oh, did I mention that they are sending me the set free for review? There were no promises made for a favorable review, just here it is, let the world know what you think.

I can get on board with that. As a matter of fact, if ANYBODY has ANYTHING they would like me to review and is willing to send me the product free for my review, I promise an honest review of said product on this blog, which has a viewing audience of well over 100 people a day. :)

So what say you? Got something for me? Apple?

Ah, man I loved that show! I don’t know what season it’s from, but this is a classic. “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”

That’s awesome. I have received a few books and CDs over the years due to people thinking enough people read my blog to make it worth their while.

For the record, I dig WKRP. Or at least I seem to remember liking it. It was a loooooong time ago.

Be forewarned, all the really cool songs that used to play on WKRP as background, or counterpoint to the scenes, have been axed. (Well, not all, but a sizeable chunk). This renders many scenes less potent, and you are not truly getting the original WKRP material. also, many scenes were “redubbed” because the sound was too enmeshed with the removed sound tracks that they had to redo the voices, changing things in several of them.

I could point you to several reputable online sources regarding this, but I’m too lazy to go look them up.

I hope you enjoy the DVD set, but keep the the above in mind as you review it.

[...] On May 2, 2007 I received my first unsolicited blog perk. I was sent the first season of WKRP in Cincinnati on DVD to review on my blog. I decided that I could definitely get used to that! Many other offers began to follow, including an offer to be interviewed by Child Magazine for my tongue-in-cheek take on peanut allergies. [...]
