On the heels of Not Just The Best Of The Larry Sanders Show's once-over-lightly approach to a TV classic, Fox is disappointing longsuffering WKRP In Cincinnati fans by releasing a DVD set of the show's first season with nearly all the original music removed. And that's a problem, because songs like Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" and Pink Floyd's "Dogs" were integral to some of WKRP's best scenes. They established the milieu of an adventurous rock station at the close of the '70s, and set up the contrast between fading freaks and the squares in charge of them. But at the same time, WKRP creator Hugh Wilson and his brilliant cast of comic actors spent four years spinning crackerjack farce out of what was going on in a culture in transition, and it must suck for them to hear now that fans would angrily pitch out hours and hours of their work for the sake of 10 seconds of Bob Seger.
