You just know that a whole lot of fun lies ahead with these well-defined crazy set-up: new guy Andy, shirker Mr. Carlson, pass-the-buck Herb, ol' stick-in-the-mud Les, naive Bailey and sexpot Jennifer. Add to that the lunatic fringe running around the station in this episode, complete with a missing cat...
Jan Smithers as nervous little Bailey was non- surprisingly overlooked by the media, the It girl of the time was Loni Anderson, and WKRP IN CINCINNATI was really put more on the map because of her presence. But I'm in the Bailey corner, always been, and in this episode, she is quite dynamite, notice the red boots. Oddly enough she is depicted as quite less insecure at times, an inconsistency, really.
Of course they are all pure genius. Think of them all as chemical components... Here stirred together in a wondrous volatile elixir which produced a mostly-forgotten but zany and lovable old classic.
Almost forty years later, and they're still hilariously funny. Better than the vast majority polluting the broadcast waves today.
