WKRP in Cincinnati: Pilot, Part 2

this was truely funny episode one of my favorite lines
when les came in demanding to know what was going on when carlson
told him his worst nightmare come true those people in the lobby
are cubans made me laugh not like todays tv shows and when that old lady
was asking about her cat was pretty funny

I hate Disney!!

thanks for the 411, best explanation I've heard as to why the best music of that time was cut.

Yeah, for many decades you got 14 years on your original copyright, after that, music was public domain. However, a while back, Big Business got involved , and now it's 95 years+. So, you have major corporations like say, Disney, who own the rights to thousands of songs they had NO part in creating. The songwriter loses, the public loses, and the corporation wins,(IF they can sell their ill-gotten gains). Sad.

Cept for the tight blue jeans...the program director reminds me of a west Texan .. not some body from the hot deserts of New Mexico..

The reason for the generic music is that the original show was filmed on videotape, not with cinema film. Due to a quirk in the licensing at the time, that allowed the producers to pay significantly less for the music score. When the show was remastered for reruns, and yes, Hulu, a new version of the license took precedence, and that version doesn't distinguish between media. So they either had to pay a lot more money for the original score, or replace it with generic crap. The studio didn't think that replays of the show would bring in enough revenue to offset the increased cost, so we're stuck with crappy music.

There are other reasons (legalese) for not playing original cuts from the original people.
But regardless, the "show" STILL has to pay the royalties to the people who wrote the music, when playing their music to make money for commerical purposes.

Anyway, the show is great.

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
Tags that promote illegal or immoral conduct
Tags containing special characters or more than 50 characters
