  • Johnny and Venus take an on-air alcohol test with a police officer (Jerry Hardin), with Johnny's reflexes strangely improving with each drink.
    Unlike most WKRP videos, This one has been plagued with copyright claims.
    Like playing Wack-A-Mole, every time it was posted a new section was flagged.

    Back in the 80s, we had a local DJ who did this a few times around New Years. Station management got upset because when he started to get loaded, he would play nothing but ZZ Top. They tried one year to hide the ZZ Top albums and he responded by offering station swag to anyone who would bring him albums to the station.

    By far, one of the funniest, most clever television shows in history. When I was going to college studying radio broadcasting around 1990, my production instructor said that all the characters on this show do exist in real life. Exactly as you see them. It only reinforced my desire to work in radio.

    In 1981, the US Navy did have a Drink test exhibition at Whiting field, Florida. for Aviation Officer Candidates and instructors. I was there. It was very revealing. Soon after that the US Navy announced new and much more stringent rules against drugs and alcohol use. And that was effective because it Was enforced. I loved WKRP.

    This actually reflects reality. In the early 1980's when MADD began making news, they would enlist celebrities to drive an off road course sober and then to repeat after having several drinks. Each time they were timed and graded. One celebrity was a Nascar driver. He improved substantially AFTER having the drinks. The results were squashed; only Playboy had the guts to publish them.

      youTube never says exactly why a video gets a copyright restriction. It seems if a guest actor is detected during upload screening, the contract studio will issue a complaint or a total block.

      I did a mashup of Enterprise and Quantum Leap that turned out well.
