They did a pretty good job with the Shout! Factory DVD release of “WKRP” from a
couple years ago, which I watched all the way through earlier in the pandemic —
they managed to re-license a decent majority of the original tracks, and I
could really only detect a couple places where the music was replaced.
(Unfortunately, one of those is in the Thanksgiving episode, probably the one
that will be rewatched most often — in a scene in which Mr. Carlson holds up a
copy of Pink Floyd’s “Animals” album and asks Johnny Fever, “Are those dogs
barking?”, the music playing does include dogs barking, but it’s clearly not
the Pink Floyd song “Dogs.”)
