  • Can WKRP standup without a laugh-track?
    Find out with this 2nd season favorite..
    ‘Baby, If You’ve Ever Wondered’
    The last scene (the office party) - copyright blocked by Fox and youTube.
    Andy gets his well deserved thanks.
    Fun Fact: During the party, Johnny tells Andy why he had changed his name so often.
    "..so at that point the ratings book comes out, and they fired me on the spot.
    That's when I started changing my name see.
    Bad book - new name."
    The scene were Bailey is reading her press release to Herb and Les, must have had some shenanigans happening off stage. She had a hard time reading the page and keeping a straight face.
    Frank Bonner even broke character for a second - he looked over his shoulder as the audience was cracking up too.
    I weeded out most of the live audience laughter except the bits that intertwine with the actors dialog. Added in bits of foley to back fill the empty spots.

    LOL!!! Do you people even know that a laugh track is? "WKRP in Cincinnati" was taped before a live audience.

      In Kassel’s book he says they taped the actual show Friday afternoons on a closed set at 4:30 , then later did a quick run-through before a live audience at 7:30 p.m… so everyone is right

      @@DaveNarn ​ ​ Hugh Wilson talked about that in an interview. They used to have an audience for the afternoon taping, but the audiences were so bad he stopped having them come in. Since they had to tape the show twice for video, they taped a “dry” show in the afternoon so they could work out all the technical problems and not bog down the live show with reshoots. If the live show take was better, they used it in the edit.

    Love that Supertramp song. Goodbye Stranger. Breakfast in America. Bought that the week it came out. The first plays were taping it for friends. Probably used two or three boxes of Maxell XL-II C90s. 11:23

      Breakfast in America was my first record that wasn't Sesame Street. I was 5. I still have that same album to this day.

    People laugh at comedy because of group laugh and delivery, you can go to a comedy club and a comedian can tell dry jokes and nobody will laugh. Change the delivery and people will be queued to laugh and others will join in. The funniest comedians, George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld can bomb completely with poor delivery

      Sort of like turning the sound off and just watching the video gives you a different perspective.

      @@DaveNarn Yes, sound is a perceptive queue. I watch baseball alone with the sound off in the background and it's a much different experience than with a group of friends or live. The crack of the bat for a ball that will drop to an easy out 20 feet from a home run fence will get the crowd cheering, then silenced.

    Kinda annoying with multiple dead sections of no sound.
