WELCOME BACK!!
Big things happening all over the place this week, Fellow Babies! Herb got a new client. Believe it or not, a sponsor for Les's newscasts. It's a computer dating service called "I'll Take Romance." They're just across the river into Kentucky.
Fill out their questionnaire and be matched to the guy or gal of your dreams...scientifically.
This ALSO happens to be the same week as the Cincinnati Broadcaster's Dinner and Dance. It's a pretty swank affair...$35 a person and there'll be a trio for dancing. It just so happens Les needs a date AND Herb signed him up with the dating service AND Les got matched to a young lady who likes hogs and hog breeding AND she's available Friday night! Everything's coming up Nessman!!
Les's 'Perfect Match' arrives!! Her name is Lorraine and she's been sent by "I'll Take Romance." The lovely Lorraine is being played by the even lovelier Livia Genise. We talk to Livia!! She shares her memories of WKRP and her time in Hollywood in the 1980s.
Ooops! The looker is a hooker! "I'll Take Romance" is a front for prostitution. Les has no idea. He didn't sign up for, or pay for, his date. He thinks it's a great match and he's falling hard!
Of course, Jennifer gets it all worked out!

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.]
