Interesting segment ... From 1976 - 1984 I worked in black radio in Oklahoma City -- The station was a mix of blacks as well as whites -- within a year , I was the only white broadcaster ,,,, my shift was midnight to six -- the format was jazz , blues , soul -- KAEZ F M 107.7 was the only black station in the city and the only black owned station in the state -- I learned from the broadcasters there , to ignore anyone that might call me when I was on air and ask me what I was doing there -- and that did happen not only from just a few in the black audience , but from whites asking me why I didn't work for white stations -- eventually, and sooner than later , the audience swore by me ,,,like I said " the format was jazz and blues and soul , and the owner Jimmy Miller told me to play only jazz and blues -- and I started listening to jazz probably in the womb but knowingly when I was 5 ,, my mother comes from a very cultured area in the world , an island in the Carribbean , property of Colombia -- I don't see anything racist about this segment of WKRP // and I completely respect that station as well as the broadcasters where I once work in OKC ,,,,, 3 years after leaving in 1984 , that experience got me hired at KKGO LA -- the biggest 24/7 commercial jazz station in America --

Everyone was more likable then. We grew up on face-to-face interaction, not social media, and learned early on that there were immediate negative consequences if we treated people horribly. We knew better than to spout off the first ugly comment that came to mind. Nastiness was not continuously rewarded as "edgy". The internet is anonymous enough to prevent people from developing their inner filters...and people are consequently getting more malicious every day. A show like this would be unlikely to succeed now. It's got too much genuine thoughtfulness and not enough vicious hyperbole.

That really made her character memorable and interesting. I don't think they ever answered the question of how or why this incredibly smart, beautiful, classy woman was working as a receptionist at a two-bit radio station. One of the funniest episodes was where an inspector was coming in to review the station. Andy knew that no matter what he did, this guy was going to give the station a bad report. Instead of trying to get everyone to act on their best behavior, he had everyone act exactly the opposite of usual. Suddenly, Jennifer is a complete airhead, who can't accomplish the simplest task, or remember anything from one moment to the next. When the review guy gives his bad report to Mr Carlson's mother, it's obvious to her that the guy had been completely fooled.

@@NJP76 yep. And today radio (as we knew it) is pretty much dead. DJs, announcers, newscasters, etc are gone except in major markets. Today with the internet, music or radio station apps (iheart, Tunein, Spotify, Amazon, Apple) jobs in "radio" are totally different. I remember dubbing songs onto carts, cutting commercials, PSAs, killing time during Saturday college football games, Cardinals baseball games, etc. Oh those good old days.

The actor who played the man interviewing Venus is comedian Tom Dreesen. He and Tim Reid, whom Dreeson met through a local Jaycee chapter in 1968, were a comedy duo in the late 60s and 70s. They were the first biracial comedy team.

How I loved this show as a kid, my parents always tried to stop me from watching it but I convinced them I didn't understand the sex jokes 🤣 I still love the show!

Nice episode. The white guy from the magazine was facing the same things that Venus was at WKRP. Venus presented himself as a stereotype he thought the man was expecting while the reporter was confident enough to not put on a false front where he worked. In the end, color doesn't really matter if you don't emphasize it and that was the point.

The BABY! bumpersticker shown in the beginning is from WRIF 101 from Detroit, MI. One of the DJ's used to say BABAYYYYYYY! Arthur Penhallow. Pretty ubiquitous all over in the 80's on cars around Metro Detroit.

I went to UCLA film school with Heather Thomas and was in some of her classes and talked to her occasionally. She was a very nice young woman back then. Shortly after film school she was on THE Fall Guy. We were all very happy for her.

Excellent writing on this one; Hugh Wilson takes a look at workplace race and cultural expectations and how assumptions are often erroneous.
