Last month I told you that WKRP In Cincinnati was being released, and now it's (almost) official.
A retailer has given info to TVShowsonDVD.com about the first season set. It will be released on April 3 and will include several extras, including two different commentaries (on the pilot and the "Johnny Comes Back" episode) by cast and crew members, a "Making Of" feature, a feature on Dr. Johnny Fever, and a behind the scenes look at the classic Thanksgiving episode where Mr. Carlson thought turkeys could fly.
This is very cool news. Hopefully they've cleared up most of the music rights issues that were holding up the release of the set. And it's good to see the cast actually doing some commentaries. I've been watching some sets lately (Magnum, P.I., Kate & Allie) that are good but have no commentaries from the cast, and that's a shame.

As I recall it was Herb Tarlick and Les Nessman who thought Turkeys could fly not Mr. Carlson. "I swear big guy I thought Turkeys could fly"

No, it was the Big Guy himself. I've got the sound clip if you want to hear it.
"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
I just hope they got permission for "Hot Blooded" for when Les gets ready for his date. Please, publishing gods, please.

I second Adam's wish. But I also want to see "Had Enough" by the Who as it was originally used in the episode where Les takes to the air for his traffic reports in a WWI biplane. The camera shots were edited to the song, and I can't imagine what it would be like to see that scene without it.
