The last episode of WKRP was 44 years ago. What age do you believe people die or go into a nursing home?
replyReruns were on for a long time after that. I remember the show fondly even though I was 8 when it ended.
replyI saw it in passing as a kid. It was clearly for adults, so by now, yes most are either in nursing homes or at least senior living communities.
replyI was a pre-teen when it came out and I loved it. We all used to watch it as a family.
replyThanks for the chuckle. But a lot of us are hanging on for dear life, and still living independently.
replyThere was also two seasons of 'the new wkrp' from ten years after the old one. I don't follow the show (either version), so I don't know if the new seasons are any good; or the old ones really, but there'a a following, obviously.
replyI watched it. I am not dead, in a nursing home, nor retired.
replyI watched and (apprently!) still know the entire theme song, which is wild because they stopped making new episodes when I was a toddler. Must have been in reruns; I wonder if it was that after school / pre-dinner time slice when we watched Happy Days and 321 Contact?
replySingle-question aptitude test: choose one

Calm down with the questions, he's not the President
replyWhere's my Xanax...
replyUm. I grew up watching WKRP. I’m in my mid-50s.
replyOne of the actors of the show recorded promos for the station, so guess not.
replyThe fact that someone posted a link to the article that you probably didn’t read also refutes this premise.
