Includes all 24 episodes of this WKRP In Cincinnati's second season!

WKRP Brings The Funny
There is a very noticeable disclaimer on the back of the box about WKRP in Cincinnati’s music right issues (an entire essay could be written on the topic). I guess the question boils down to are you willing to accept some musical changes to get this slapstick funny comedy series out on DVD or not? This is probably the best that WKRP fans are going to get barring major change of heart in the future.In Season Two, character aspects are a lot more defined (see Herb’s over the top suits, for example.) The show really got on a slapstick comedic role with these over the top larger than life figures like Johnny Fever, Herb Tarleck, Les Nessman, Mr. Carlson. Andy and Bailey play the straight man, but even they have depth to fit in with the more screwball characters.We also see something of an evolution in the material that’s covered as serious topics such as abortion rear their head. Although of course being that its WKRP in Cincinnati, it is done in a lighter way. When a show like WKRP goes serious, it stands out in a way where it wouldn’t if the show was Law and Order SVU for example.Oh yeah and did I mention it’s funny?

Classic music hits returned!
A very important part of the show was the music, a radio station playing the hits. And the hits of the time were great music. In syndication, television replaced the great music with who knows what. Bringing the great hits back to the show is vital!

SO far - just a hoot of a series ...
This is a hoot of a series - just watched a couple of episodes last night - I think they may have included the original music in the 2nd season release as the publishing house seems to be different then the first. Have to caution - didn't really pay attention to the two episodes music - focused more on the giggle of the story lines etc ... I'll update accordingly if I find they've messed with the music in later episodes ... Didn't spring for the complete collection as I'm budget pressed at the moment & figure the rest of the season's should be released since there's a complete season release & it's just a matter of packaging ...

Great series
Love this series- I would have given it 5 stars, except that there aren't subtitles or even an episode menu. You have to watch them in order and if you turn off the player before you finish the disc, you'll have to fast forward through each episode to get to the one you want.. The producers of the DVD stated that they couldn't get permission to use all the original songs, but they did a pretty good job of substituting music that fit.

God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly (that episode's not actually in this season, but it makes me laugh!)
No frills, nothing fancy, this is just going to give you the episodes. So this isn't so much a collector's item as it is just a utilitarian way of owning this season. But it's a great show and I love that they've released it on dvd at all, so I'm not complaining.

This is one of the best comedies ever on tv
This is one of the best comedies ever on tv, with a near perfect cast and in the second year they had really settled in to their roles. The stories are silly but entertaining and everyone does a great job while seeming to enjoy what they do. I can't wait for the rest of the series to be released. I know I will enjoy this for years.
