17 rocking behind-the-scenes photos from 'WKRP in Cincinnati'
Baby, if you've ever wondered, wondered whatever became of me…
With a wonderful cast and a crate of awesome records, WKRP in Cincinnati is the most rocking sitcom of all time. People tuned in to both see blonde bombshell Loni Anderson and perhaps catch a bit of the latest Blondie single.
Considering it was set in a raucous radio station, WKRP in Cincinnati was a blast for the actors. No wonder so many of them reunited for The New WKRP in Cincinnati in the early '90s.
Today, we're sticking with the classic. Let's take a peek behind the scenes of the side-splitting sitcom.

I like Herb's plaid suit.
My favorite WKRP episode is the one where Les wants a helicopter, and goes flying with Buddy. Hilarious!
