Dialog unchanged.Ĭarlson's "computer baseball game" sounds are altered. Washington-Just The Two Of Usĭave Mason-We Just Disagree removed. Otis Redding-Rock Me Baby (misidentified by Johnny as The Singing Nun)īill Withers/Grover T. Gene Dunlap (f/ The Ridgeways)-Rock Radio Tomorrow I will have the final 11 episodes finished.
There is no dialogue so nothing has been edited or overdubbed. The Rolling Stones song (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction has been replaced with a generic rock song. You Can't Go Out Of Town Again: There is one music edit. This episode looks like it runs short but I did compare running times with the original and this is correct. The bumper before the tag scene is there. Love, Exciting And New: No music edits due to there being no music in the episode. He just identifies the artist and song as the song starts. Johnny's intro to the song has been redubbed. The Rolling Stones song Start Me Up has been replaced with a generic rock song. No music has been substituted and all of the original dialogue has been preserved. Kool & The Gang's Celebration have been removed. First the voice over for the recap scenes is gone. The bumper before the tag scene is there.Īn Explosive Affair, part 2: There are a couple of edits to this episode. The first 11 episodes of the final season.Īn Explosive Affair, part 1: No music edits. Sorry for taking so long to get these latest episode reviews posted but I wanted to get half of season 4 finished. I can't emphasize enough how important it is that the full-length versions were found. In syndication, you don't know why Les shows up late or why Venus is there so early in the morning, they're just there. Another scene cut in syndication explains that Venus is there because Johnny called him and told him to rush down there. Eg in "Baby, It's Cold Inside," not only did the syndicated version cut a very funny drunk scene for Loni Anderson, but the scene establishes that Les will be late that morning. Okay, sometimes there was filler (that long tag to the original version of "The Contest Nobody Could Win" seems like a way of filling time) but in a lot of episodes, anything that was cut in syndication removes some good joke or piece of plot information. (There were a few episodes that were unsweetened in the '90s package that use their original soundtracks here, like "Ask Jennifer" and "Bailey's Big Break.")Ĭomparing the episodes that were previously only available in syndicated versions with the versions presented here, it renews my admiration for how little filler WKRP episodes often had. This is noticeable in this episode because a number of scenes were obviously shot without the audience, and when they did that they'd insert a very mild laugh track just to keep the sound from being dead. And "Herb's Dad" has at least two bits of dialogue that aren't in my (battered) copy from a CBS airing.Īn interesting side note about "Herb's Dad" is that it's an "unsweetened" version, meaning only audience laughter, nothing else. "Baseball" is not only complete but has a shot that even some CBS affiliates cut at the time - Johnny checking the chalk on the basepaths to see if it's drugs.
I mentioned before that the '90s redub of Les's news announcement is thankfully gone. "Goodbye Johnny" doesn't have the Beach Boys but it does have the music and dialogue right after (in the '90s, Les's voice was overdubbed).
"I Am Woman" has all the right audio (in the '90s, that same terrible voice actor redubbed the whole voice-over scene of Venus in act 1).
"Ask Jennifer" has the correct voice for Jennifer's caller.
#Music scene it dvd replacement plus
On the plus side, some really bad overdubs from the '90s have been removed. Carlson's baseball game doesn't play "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" (Insert complaint about how a song that old is still in copyright) though luckily the joke works about as well with just the beeps from the game. There are a couple other small music edits I noticed in season 3: the Candi Staton song in "Venus and the Man" isn't there (this is one of the better edits from the '90s syndication package, though they managed to do it without overdubbing or cutting) and in "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" Mr.
