WKRP in Cincinnati
WKRP is a television show from 1978 that based its episodes around a radio station. The show ran for 4 seasons and was very popular during its time. The show had 8 key actors that their own role on the show. The show wasn't based on one actors humour, the entire cast played a big role in how show ran. The show ran for 4 years on CBS for those interested in watching a hilarious sitcom. The techniques in the show ran from probably basic everyday radio production. It seems as though the radio station had those who worked for marketing, the owner, disc jokeys, and receptionist. The thing I like about this tv show is that it is really funny, everyone has their sort of part that makes the humour continue. The thing that I dislike is that the plots are small due to the show being based around a radio station. The audience is targeted for those who enjoy a laugh and who want to know what the news is according to Les Nessman. WKRP appeals to its audience because it is entertaining and gives you as good laugh. This televison show tells a story that is based on a struggling radio station. The series is a sitcom, it has qualities of comedy which propelled it to be popular for the time it did run. There are all sorts of different types of characters there is Johnny Fever, Johnny is a disc jockey that isn't afraid to speak his mind. The thing in the show that makes Johnny funny is that when he enters a room with people in it he goes in and then says "can i come in", that is funny or well atleast to me it is. Then you have the anxious, and worrysome Mr. Carlson, he is the station owner that doesn't like to go ahead with risks because his mom might come down and question him about it. Then you have the quiet smart person Bailey Quarters who is a shy girl in the show that has insight that is good for the station but no one really likes to take her advice. Then there is Herb who is the sales associate who 'is in charge' in his mind, and if he sees something he doesn't like he goes right to Carlson to tell him about it in a way that Carlson might agree with him. Then you have Les Nessman who is the stations news guy, he tells hourly news that would make you laugh because it is pathetic news to say the least. He is self concious and always seems to get picked on the most.
