This dreamlike news item was posted today at the AllMusicGuide site. Can anyone confirm this? Last I heard, WKRP on DVD was dead as a doornail.

WKRP in Cincinnati: Season One

I was right in the middle of marking off my cubicle with masking tape à la Les Nessman when I ran across this incredible news. Who cares about music when something as amazing as the release of a WKRP in Cincinnati DVD is on the horizon? That's right, babies. Long thought to be shelved forever due to legal and financial issues surrounding the use of the original songs, the first season of WKRP in Cincinnati is finally going to be in stores on April 3. Unlike the hack job Nick at Night perpetrated when they ran the series back in the late '90s (they used generic "rock" songs as replacements and even changed some dialogue using soundalike actors), the producers of the DVD used what original tunes they could and replaced the others with time-specific tracks that work. Add to that the inspired patter and attitude of early Dr. Johnny Fever, the perfect idiocy of the big guy Arthur Carlson, and the unheralded foxiness of Bailey Quarters, and you have one of the finest half-hours of the 1970s. Just in case you were wondering what ever became of me on April 3, I'll be parked on my couch watching WKRP. In the immoral words of the good Dr. Fever, "Booger!"
