WELCOME BACK!!
Johnny is filling in for Moss Steiger, the overnight guy. The Doctor is either hung over or dealing with a bad cold. Either way, he's wandering around the station with a towel over his head completely oblivious to the ROBBERY taking place in the station!
The next day, the gang finds all the valuables are gone...the phones, Art's hobby equipment, even Les' typewriter! The only rational response is to install a burglar alarm...which The Big Guy does immediately!!
Okay, so not IMMEDIATELY...but it'll be in by Friday. Which happens to be the same day as Herb's big shindig for Cincinnati Ad Agencies! He's gone all out...banquet room in the Flimm, catering, a coat check girl with legs to her shoulders...everything you need for the perfect Friday night.
If you've been paying attention...or you know ANYTHING AT ALL about sitcoms...you know the burglar alarm and the party are going to combine for a hilarious evening. Or, possibly, an evening filled with John Donne quotes and firearms. With the crazy cats who show up at Herb's party, anything could happen!!
Have you met Hilda? IMDb seems to have missed her, but she's very sweet. The olives spell out WKRP and there's a handgun pointed at Andy's head!! If we told you any more we might spoil the big surprise in Art's Office!! Intrigued? Frightened? Push "play" and hide under the covers...Les warned us this might happen.
WATCH ALONG DETAILS...[Want to watch along with us? It's a blast!! We highly recommend the 'Shout Factory' boxed DVD set of the entire WKRP series. For reasons you'll have to listen to in the "Prolog" episode, all streaming versions of the original "WKRP in Cincinnati" have had the original music cues removed. Generic music beds and stings were used in place of the original music for the syndicated version of the series. 'Shout Factory' has been able to restore an estimated 85% of all WKRP music cues to the original "as-aired" content for their DVD release. They've also restored scenes that had been cut to shorten episodes for syndication. The original eps ran 25 minutes. The syndication eps were shortened to 22 minutes. Over 88 episodes that's more than four hours of lost content, including the performance by "Detective" at the end of "Hoodlum Rock." Get the COMPLETE series...get the Shout Factory DVDs. The Shout Factory complete series box has a release date of 2014. All individual seasons of Shout Factory disks were released starting in 2015.]
