Admit it if you watched this show you just sang that title.
WKRP was a brilliant show and this is one of my favorite episodes. A short list with short titles would be, Turkeys, Scum of the Earth, Tornado, and this. Filmed late during the 1st season the show follows the acquisition of a new sponsor and the development of a commercial for the spots he is paying for. A lot of spots for a lot of money. Something that WKRP could use. The question is will what he wants be appropriate for the station and the audience. This is one of the episodes that shows the staff of the radio station starting to come together as a team. Watch for the auditions for the commercial. Watch for Bailey's and Jennifer's bits. Then all the different personalities of the station staff working together to put together a good product for the client. You also see a side of Mr. Carlson that is a bit different. And as they say there is where the plot complication comes in.
I can't say enough about this episode without giving away a spoiler so let me say these couple things. First is if you have ever listened radio in a market that is not in a major city, you have heard this commercial. And you will have to laugh. Second and maybe more important to the show is showing the team of WKRP coming together. It helps the show work. Lastly this is MTM Productions ensemble casting at it's best. You won't be disappointed.
If you have to ask why the Client is named Ferryman, this episode may not be for you,
One of the top episodes of a top sit-com.
