I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

WKRP is just an amazing show -- it holds up just as well today as it played then, with bonus nostalgia elements of the 70s disco era. (A big big pity that the music wasn't cleared with future syndication and DVD rights secured -- but of course, DVDs and even cable didn't exist back then.)

I worked college radio when WKRP was on. My radio buddies and I adored the show. Though we always commented that the show didn't show the same degree of inter-departmental dating that went on. That may have just been us, however, college students running wild.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Bwah - ok, I shouldn't laugh, but CBS' photo for this plague story cracks me up:

It should really have fangs dripping ichor and red eyes. Maybe a tiny little "Team Edward" shirt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That marmot is hysterical. They possibly should have picked a less cute/human sitting marmot picture.

Right??

Also, I am earwormed with the theme from WKRP. Thanks, people.

I like that it appears to have the same "bring it, humans!" attitude as the gopher in Caddyshack.
